This is the Guide to [[Atmospherics]]. When properly initialized, Atmosia can keep the station aired-up through nearly any emergency. Improperly initialized, it's a waste of space at best and an outright fire hazard at worst.

Can be created when Nitrogen is combined with Tritium at extremely high temperatures. BZ works as a catalyst. 20:10 Nitrogen and Tritium respectively is consumed when one mole of hypernoblium is condensed. Counter to the Nitryl reaction, BZ is not a requirement at all. But rather, it decreases how much the temperature / energy drops of your gas mix during the reaction. As such, BZ can often be entirely ignored. The minimum temperature for this reaction to occur is 5000000K, making fusion absolutely critical in its manufacturing process.

===[[File:Stimulum.png]]Stimulum===
===[[File:Stimulum.png]]Nitrium===
An experimental gas that makes you stun and sleep immune (including slips!). While incredibly cumbersome to manufacture, its effects give the enterprising technician a decisive advantage in combat as it has no addictive or negative effects. Try giving it to security so they can robust traitors and lings, or don't because security is more likely to arrest you for making meth gas because they don't have any idea what the hell stimulum is. Better yet, export it via cargo for some very high margins. While not as valuable as Hypernoblium, you can generally synthesize more moles of it and make more money, it's just even more of a chore to make than fusion. Also generates 40 Research Points per mole synthesized, making it a very nice gas overall if you can somehow produce large batches of it.
Nitrium is created by combining Nitrogen, Plasma and BZ with at least 50 mols of N<sub>2</sub>O present as a catalyst. the ratio of gases is 5 parts Nitrogen, 2 parts Plasma, 2 parts BZ and 0.5 parts N20 which need to be heated to fusion temperatures for the gas to form. Nitrium can be used in internals mixed with oxygen for various effects.
 
An example of a mix for Nitrium would be 53% Nitrogen, 21% plasma, 21% BZ and 5% N<sub>2</sub>O this is not the most efficient mix but it offers a good starting point and leaves little room for failure, don't forget to cool the gasses before adding them to the canister if you want to make a decent amount of Nitrium.


Formed by combining Plasma and Nitryl at a 1:1 ratio with at least 500mols of BZ present as a catalyst, then heating it.

The vent will pump gas into the room it is in, depending on the air alarm settings of the room. The air alarm has two settings to worry about, External, or Internal. External works by making the vent pump gas from its connected pipenet into the room until the room, or more accurately, the tile, matches the pressure that is set. The max pressure you can configure for External is 5066 kPa, and it slows down when approaching the set limit, as pressure pumps do. Internal works by pumping gas into the room from the pipenet until the pressure set matches the pressure in the connected pipenet. Examples: a vent set to External 200 will pump gas into the room until it is 200 kPa. A vent set to Internal 300 will pump gas into the room until the connected pipenet's pressure is 300 kPa, regardless of room pressure. As such, Internal 0 will always pump at full strength. This same effect can be achieved by turning off both External and Internal. The vent has a maximum speed it can pump at, even when extremely pressurised.

===[[File:Ventpassive.webp|frameless]]Passive Vent===
An unpowered vent that equalizes the internal and external gases, think of it as a simple open-ended pipe into the atmosphere. It is not interactable and cannot be closed. It too, is not restricted by pressure as with the other vents, opening possibilities for interesting shenanigans.
===[[File:Injector atmos.webp|frameless]]Injector===
===[[File:Injector atmos.webp|frameless]]Injector===
The injector is similar to the vent in that it pumps gas onto the tile it is on. However, it is not controlled by an air alarm, but rather works by hand. It is also in L/s units again, similarly to the volume pump. Also similarly to the volume pump, it is the faster one when compared to its pressure based cousin, the vent. It does not have a maximum pressure change per second, as vents do, and will always outpace them. This comes at the cost of the control that vents give you.

*A scrubber connected to a very large spaceloop is much more effective than a scrubber connected to a freezer. This is because of the added volume allowing the scubber to dump more moles of gas into the connected pipenet.

*Using a pump of any kind after a scrubber is highly redundant and drastically lowers the effectiveness of the scrubber as it separates the pipenets and cuts off volume. The SM and the incinerator's scrubbers can be massively improved by simply replacing the pump with a straight pipe.

==Crystallizer==
The Crystallizer is a machine that allows gases to be solidified and made into various materials.
The working principle and gaseous requirements behind the crystallizer is rather simple and explained in the machine itself. You select a recipe, pump gases in using the input (green) port, meet the temperature requirements, and wait for the material to finish crafting. The red port is used for heat control, as it will conduct with the internal mix and influence the temperature. You have a 10% wiggle room for the temperature requirements, but straying too far from the optimal temperature will influence the final quality of the item produced. Quality affects the amount of gas consumed for each product produced, with higher qualities consuming less gas. The optimal temperature for any given recipe is the median between the lower and upper temperature bound. Stay as close as you can to the median value, and you'll be able to save up to 85% of the required gas if you manage to make the highest quality!
It currently supports the production of:
