Gas synthesis is a precise science, requiring practice, brain cells and more than a fair bit of autism. This guide assumes that you have all three in ample supply, as well as the patience to relentlessly optimize your gas setups for incremental gains. Here, you will learn how to synthesize the gases in large batches, well past the standard amounts you are normally used to, as well as the more faceted aspects of atmospherics that always give you something new to try out. | Gas synthesis is a precise science, requiring practice, brain cells and more than a fair bit of autism.

Tritium is produced when plasma burns under a high concentration of oxygen, specifically, a threshold (known in the code as the super saturation threshold) 96 times more oxygen than plasma. For this reason, only a 1 percent amount of plasma mixed with 96 percent more of oxygen will burn to produce tritium. This is true if we only consider one reaction tick, however the experienced among you know that you can get away with a 97-3 oxygen:plasma ratio and still get tritium. The reason for why this is is because of the oxygen burn rate being low enough that the oxygen replenishment rate rapidly ramps the concentration of oxygen to the point that the feed-in rate of plasma places the ratio of plasma to oxygen above the super saturation threshold. If this isn't clear enough, try understanding the following table: | Tritium is produced when plasma burns under a high concentration of oxygen, specifically, a threshold (known in the code as the super saturation threshold) 96 times more oxygen than plasma.

Tessa note: I dont get what this table is supposed to look like or get what it even means, just looks like random numbers tbh. i've thrown it into a simple table so you can figure out what to actually put. | |||
This table is not 100% accurate due to LINDA and other aspects of atmos that complicate the calculations, but demonstrates the point. | This table is not 100% accurate due to LINDA and other aspects of atmos that complicate the calculations, but demonstrates the point. | ||
