Hexane updated with recipe (corrected the ration and added the consumption rate of Hydrogen)
m (Information for Nitryl has been updated so has the information for how to create stimulum as the information available before was very vauge along with the information for metal Hydrogen along with a crystalizer so people can clearly see there are 2 ways )

Nitryl (formerly Brown Gas) speeds you up - pretty good until the acid eats your lungs. Generally produced only as a precursor to stimulum, or when somebody's pet star gets loose and starts turning the station into its burning core.

The result of heating Oxygen and Nitrogen to 25000k at a 1:1 ratio, with at least 5 moles of N2O present as a catalyst. The requisite heat is often only produced in tritburns, but the necessary heat energy as well as the natural heat decay caused by water vapor causes nitryl production via heat exposure over a turf (such as the burn chamber) very slow and causes the required N20 for the reaction to increase drastically. This makes creating any significant amount of Nitryl extremely difficult and is not worth the effort. when creating Nitryl in a canister using fusion heat the reaction occurs almost instantaneously upon un-wrenching the can, making creating upwards of 100000mols of Nitryl a trivial matter.

Freon is made by combining a minimum of 40 moles Plasma, 20 moles CO2, and 20 moles BZ in a endothermic reaction at temperatures above 473.15 K. The consumption ratio for the reaction is 6 Plasma : 3 CO2 : 1 BZ. Higher heat improves the rate of reaction.

===[[File:Dvalve.webp|frameless]]Digital Valve===
===[[File:Dvalve.webp|frameless]]Digital Valve===
A valve that opens when clicked, and connects the two pipenets it separates when doing so. A pipenet is any collection of normal pipes connected together, including some sub types. Counter to pumps, it experiences no delay in its gas transfer. It essentially acts as a pipe, which, as all pipes, transfers gas instantly to all connected pipes. Has 200L of volume on one side, and 200L on the other end. This can be operated by both carbon mobs such as humans, excluding xenomorphs, and silicons.

===[[File:Pvalve.webp|frameless]]Pressure Valve===
=== [[File:Pvalve.webp|frameless]]Pressure Valve===
An activatable valve that lets gas pass through if the pressure on the input side is higher than the set pressure. Good for situations where you need to keep pressure under a certain level.

===[[File:Ppump.png|frameless]]Pressure Pump===
===[[File:Ppump.png|frameless]]Pressure Pump===
An oddball case. Like all pumps, it separates connected pipenets if there is nothing else connecting them. Has a maximum pressure of 4500 kPa. All pumps work by pumping the contents within them to the other side, which is 200L on one side, and 200L on the other. Any pump can not pump gas that is not actually in it, which means that very large connected pipenets will have lower pump speeds. Pressure pumps work by gradually building up to its set pressure per tick. Because of this, pressure pumps slow down when approaching their target pressure, and will not quite match their pressure after a very long time, but will get very close.

===[[File:Vpump.webp|frameless]]Volume Pump===
===[[File:Vpump.webp|frameless]]Volume Pump ===
The volume pump is similar to the pressure pump, but operates differently. It has a pressure limit of 9000 kPa. However, this limit only kicks in when the output pipenet is currently over 9000 kPa. The pump will work if the output pipenet is below 9000 kPa, even if the resulting pressure of this action would be way higher than 9000 kPa. Counter to the pressure pump, this pump works on a L/s basis. This has a 2x200L volume as well, so you pick how much of the volume in the pump is actually pumped to the other side by changing the number. Because its max speed is 200 L/s, it will always outpace and outpressure the pressure pump. Can be overclocked using a multitool, which will cause its pressure limit to be dependent on the input pipenet, which will tend to make the maximum output pressure higher. However, this will cause 10% of gas running through it to spill.

===[[File:Pgate.webp|frameless]]Passive Gate===
These are a combination of pumps and valves. They work up to their set pressure, with a maximum of 4500 kPa. These can never do more than equalise the two connected pipenets, just as valves do. However, they only work one way, rather than mixing the gas between the two pipenets perfectly as valves do. Very rarely used as the pressure valve tends to fill most of its use cases, but can be used in situations where one needs pressure control for a pipenet that needs to remain between two values, the upper bound being the set pressure and the lower bound being the output pipenet pressure, such as a BZ reactor.

===Temperature Gate===
=== Temperature Gate===
A gate that only lets gas through when they are on one side of the set temperature threshold (either greater, or lower). The mode can be changed by using a multitool on the device. Excellent for precise thermal regulation and failsafes for the SM engine.

===[[File:Atmosfilter.png|frameless]]Filter===
===[[File:Atmosfilter.png|frameless]]Filter===
The filter is the first device that connects 3 pipenets. It can be set to a single gas, and it will dump this gas to the side it is pointing in. All gas that is not selected will continue straight forward, as the arrow is pointing in a single line. When set to Nothing, it will allow all gas through the straight path. The filter works in L/s, and as such does not experience pressure related slowdowns, however, it has a pressure maximum of 4500 kPa. When EITHER OUTPUT SIDE is 4500 kPa or above, the filter will not function, not allowing any gas to pas. That is, both in a straight line and on its offshoot, the pressure must be less than 4500 kPa.

===[[File:Atmosmixer.png|frameless]]Mixer===
=== [[File:Atmosmixer.png|frameless]]Mixer===
The mixer also requires 3 connections to function, as the filter does. The mixer will mix the two incoming gases using the ratio the user inputs, starts off at 50/50. Node 1 is the input in a straight line with the ouput, Node 2 is the offshoot compared to the output. Both inputs need to have gas in them to function unless a side with gas in it is set to 100%, in which case it will function and purely let that side through. Is pressure based, with the associated properties. Also has a pressure maximum of 4500 kPa. The mixing is influenced by temperature following the ideal gas law. When one of the input sides is hotter compared to the other input, it will let less of this side's gas through, mol-wise. This will give you scuffed ratios if you do not equalise temperatures, if you need the precision, make sure they're equal.

'''Fire''': An effect caused by burning plasma, fire comes in two different forms of hotspot. It causes massive burn damage, and a strong fire will not be stopped by standard firesuits. Plumbing N2 into a room might work, but heavy firefighting is not the point of this section. Fire will ignite any form of combustibles in near tiles. Sufficiently hot fires use less oxygen as they rise in temperature. This is due to the fact that fires remove X plasma and X*(1.4-Y, Y< or = 1) oxygen. X CO2 is produced. Ideal Burnmix is: 10x more O2 than plasma, and with as high a temperature as can achieve.

CO2 can be removed with the scrubbers, but to get rid of N2 simply apply some way of removing gas from the air and adding O2. My personal favorite is 2 air pumps, 3 connectors and an Air Filter and a canister: 1 pump draws in, goes through the connection and filters N2 into the canister, and the rest to the other pump, which expels it. Can also be used for N2O which is only sluggishly scrubbed otherwise.

There are 4 requirements to plasmic fusion: Lots of plasma, lots of CO2, lots of tritium and lots of heat - the result is a LOT more heat (by several orders of magnitude), a lot less of your starting gases and enough rads to make the SM feel thoroughly inadequate. The radiation itself, while deadly enough to kill when a subject experiences 30 seconds of exposure, or is hit by even a single cluster of hyperenergetic decay particles, is a tiny threat compared to the ravaging heat of a newborn star shackled by the confines of your canister, begging to be set free and set the station ablaze. A containment failure of a fusion canister will result in severe consequences and definitely something the gods will notice, so be careful when attempting it. Also, atmos techs are a very closely-knit community and most techs who learned fusion were taught or in some way assisted by a tech who knew it beforehand, if you find a willing tech, ask him to teach you as this is an extremely dangerous and autistic activity.

Disclaimers and safety pronouncements, aside, let's get to what you actually need when doing fusion. There are different recipes for achieving fusion, but the most well-tested, consistent and widely used recipe is the '''6 plasma : 2 CO2: 1 Tritium''' recipe popularized by the first atmosians who birthed stars. One such canister should have 6000 moles of plasma, 2000 moles of CO2 and 1000 moles of tritium - the amount does not need to be exact and can vary by as much as 10% in ratio, as long as the 3:1 ratio between plasma and CO2 is preserved. Technically, a canister can fuse as long as it has a '''minimum of 250 moles of plasma, 250 moles of CO2 and 1 mole of trit''', but the results are not particularly useful or exciting. Any amount of plasma and CO2 are okay, provided that they follow the ratio, and the fusion reaction will continue until it has less than 250 moles of CO2 or plasma, or it runs out of tritium. Once your canister is nicely made, heat it up to 10.000°K via heat pipe exposure over an actively burning tritium chamber (the incinerator has all the necessary equipment, and is probably where you made your tritium to begin with), then '''please unwrench''' it when it hits the 10.000°K mark.
