greetings, im host, a person you can find in the game or in the discord as marsk cranger/marsk_host. over here im just updating a few things.

The Thermo-Electric Generator (TEG) is an atmospherics based generator that operates on the simple principle of cold air loop plus hot air loop equals power. As long as the set up is appropriate, the TEG's output will scale up and can make anywhere between almost no power to enough power to satisfy the energy draw of 1000 space stations.

#Move the circulators to the squares beside the generator. and wrench down ''make sure to orientate them with the notches beside the generator before wrenching (alt-click to turn).''

#Now in place we need to multi tool the circulators. changing the mode, they are in, once done then screwdriver shut (''1 tap = cold 2 taps = hot'').

#Turn on pumps to max, open valves, press buttons if need be (''Follow the orange and cyan pipes.'').

#Prepare burn mix (different ratios alter heat output and gas production) then turn on mixer to max. Then turn on igniter ''burn mix is tested to last nearly 50 minutes if you empty both tanks.''

The Thermo-Electric Generator is a simple engine. This engine uses hot and cold gas (hot and cold circulators) to generate energy. To make more power, you will need to scale the hot and cold gasses and maintain the temperature difference between them. The limiting factor being how the engine is set up and having too great of a difference in gas temperature. An unmodified engine will usually lead you into the biggest problem: clogs.

NOTE: if these don't work then it might be needed to replace the pressure pump with a volume pump

'''Answer:''' Look to see what's lighting up on the TEG, the TEG will tell you what's working and what's not, if the cold loop isn't working it will be dark, if it is working it will be a radiant blue. The same is true for the hot, but the colour will be red.

'''Answer:''' Check each pipe section with an analyser, see that each pipe section has gas inside of it, follow the pipes around with the pumps, one will be off or there is a break in the pipe. if the space loop has gas on one end but not on the other, go into space and check for damage to the heat pipes.

'''Answer:''' It is possible that you set the TEG's cold and hot loops on the wrong side, if true there should have been a short time of a loop indicating some flow before completey stopping, check inside the TEG's display that the cold loop is indeed cold and not hot. If the loops are the wrong way around, un-wrench the TEG apart, open both circulators with a screwdriver, and multitool both circulators, screwdriver both circulators closed then wrench it back together.
