Welcome to a guide to toxins, this is not a guide made by a professional but by someone willing to remake a years out of date guide. If you do not know, Toxins is the place in science that makes bombs and or maxcaps by using a burn chamber to heat [[Plasma]] and or [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]]. In this guide, we will be making a [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] maxcap. This guide will be in [[Boxstation|YogBox]], so some intuition may be needed on other stations.

====Input====
The <font color="blue">input pipe</font> is a bit trickier, first, the <font color="purple">manual valve</font> must be replaced with a <font color="forestgreen">manifold pipe</font> facing west-north-east and directly north of that, another <font color="forestgreen">manifold pipe</font> north-east-south, attached to the <font color="forestgreen">manifold pipe</font> should be two connectors on the north and east side. Finally, replace the southern <font color="purple">gas pump</font> with a <font color="forestgreen">manual valve</font> and made sure it is closed.

Essentially, this setup allows much of the gases to go in all at once for a better burn and while the output dumps as much as it can into the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] [[canister]].

Next, we will fix the gas mixer.


The only thing needed to do is to replace the pipe under the gas flow meter with a gas mixer that connects to the pipes next to it and faces south. Open the mixer’s menu and set Node 1 to 4% and Node 2 to 96%, set the output pressure to the max, and turn the mixer ON. It may be worth taking the southern connector and attaching it directly to the mixer output rather than having a pipe separating the two, but it is not necessary.

Once the mixer is setup grab a [[plasma]] [[canister]], wrench it on to the northmost connector, grab an [[Oxygen]] [[canister]], wrench it onto the middle connector, and grab an empty [[canister]] and of course, wrench it onto the southmost connecter.

Assuming you connected all the canisters in the right positions, you are now putting a mix of gasses into the caution [[canister]]. The actual mix is 4% [[Plasma]] and 96% [[Oxygen]], and it is impossible to explain why and what this will do as the atmospherics code is based on nearly two decades of spaghetti and duct tape.

None the less, we will need three full canisters of this mix which will also require more [[Oxygen]] canisters as well. The actual max limit of what a [[canister]] can handle is infinite, but for our intents, they can only go up to 4500kPa; it is not necessary to reach this limit but as close as you can. Do note that you can use empty oxygen canisters and fill them with a mix as well.

Once three mix canisters have been filled, grab an empty [[canister]] and set it to the end of the output pipe, it’s also best to relabel it to a [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] [[canister]] though it is not necessary. Once the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] [[canister]] is in place, check to make sure that the southern manual valve is closed and wrench the mix canisters on the input pipe’s connectors.

Now’s the fun and relatively automatic part, making and heating the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]]. Go to the [[Air Alarm]] by the burn chamber’s airlock doors, access its menu, go into scrubbers, and set the one and the only scrubber to ON, expanded, turn on [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]], and turn off [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#CO2|Carbon Dioxide]]. This will set the scrubber to ONLY scrub out [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]], which is what we want. Once everything is set all that’s needed is it to open the manual valve and watch the gases burn.

''If you’re not curious about what’s happening, skip this paragraph.''<br>For those who remain, it is worth noting that as in real life, most things require [[Oxygen]] to explode and burn. As you might imagine [[Plasma]] is no different, but what is interesting to note is that the plasma burning is creating H3 or [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]], which is great for fusion energy both in the game and in real life. Once the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] is formed the scrubber is automatically and selectively siphoning it out and into the output pipe and since the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] was made by burning [[Plasma]] it’s already hot.<br>

Once this burn is completed you should be able to scan the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] [[canister]] and get ~22mols or ~2200kPa (Some of that may be [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Water_vapour|water vapour]]). This is enough to make a few bombs.

To make the bomb we’ll be taking the heated [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] and some [[Oxygen]], putting them both in their individual tanks, and combining them in a setup that will combine the two on our command.

Weeeelllll… not much actually. The note about how you shouldn’t blow anything up without ahelping is probably the most important thing is the guide, that’s because the devastation you can cause with these bombs is massive. You might be able to hand one off to the miners so they have a bit easier time mining, but really unless you have a bomb target, there isn’t much to do.
