'''<big>W.I.P. Cleanup of the Guide to Atmospherics</big>''' | |||
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. | This is the Guide to [[Atmospherics]].

Next up is a very simple step by step guide how to set up the Atmospherics pipe system to be (nearly) as efficient as possible. Note that this is only one style how to set up the pipes, there are many ways and they all have their own pros and cons! | |||
'''Really, the one thing you need to do:''' | |||
*Find the '''<span style="color:#FF2C19">red circled</span>''' gas pump called "Waste In" in the top-right of Atmospherics and replace it with a volume pump set to max (200 L/s). This will transfer gas out of the station waste loop much faster. '''Congratulations, you're basically done setting up Atmospherics.''' | |||
'''Consider making these modifications too:''' | |||
*Go to the '''<span style="color:#FF8856">orange circled</span>''' computers on the left wall of the lower section of Atmospherics and set the output pressure to the max (4500 kPa). This allows the vent pumps to operate at the same pressure as the rest of the air mix (except the Air to distro pump, depending on your choice below). | |||
*Find the '''<span style="color:#004AFF">blue circled</span>''' gas pump called "Air to distro" in the top-left of Atmospherics. There are several choices you can make here. | |||
#Do nothing. The gas pump is already set to 4500 kPa. However, this is just a less efficient form of option 2 so if you're going to go this route you should just do option 2. | |||
#Replace it with a volume pump set to max. The benefit of doing this is it allows areas to quickly repressurize to their normal pressure (for example, after a patched-up hull breach). However, there are also downsides. Air alarms can have their pressure setting manipulated to release the maximum amount, severely overpressurizing a room and creating a deadly environment. Another downside is that deconstructing a high pressure pipe will fling you across the room with a significant force and cause injuries (unless you see this as beneficial for preventing people from screwing with the piping). | |||
#Set the gas pump to 300 kPa. You lose the benefits of option 2 but it also becomes safe to deconstruct the piping in the station distribution loop. | |||
