Helium Extractor

Unlock New Possibilities with the Helium Extractor Mod for Oxygen Not Included

Prepare to revolutionize your asteroid base with the introduction of the Helium Extractor mod for Oxygen Not Included. This innovative addition brings a powerful new building and opens up exciting avenues for resource management and advanced engineering within the game.

Harnessing the Power of Helium

The core of this mod lies in the new Helium Extractor building. This device is designed to process your abundant natural gas, transforming it into a trio of valuable resources: helium, propane, and sulfur. This transformation provides a novel way to utilize a common early-game resource and unlock its hidden potential for more complex systems.

Introducing Propane: A New Fuel Source

With the Helium Extractor, propane joins the ranks of usable fuels in Oxygen Not Included. While its properties differ from natural gas, it can be integrated into your power generation infrastructure, offering flexibility and potentially new optimization strategies for your duplicants’ energy needs.

Why Helium Matters

Helium, while not an early-game necessity, becomes an invaluable asset as your colony grows and your technological ambitions expand. Its unique physical properties make it a prime candidate for advanced applications:

• Possessing the lowest liquefaction temperature of all gases, helium is crucial for achieving extremely low temperatures.
• With the highest thermal conductivity among gases, helium excels at transferring heat efficiently, making it ideal for sophisticated cooling systems.

Whether you’re aiming to optimize your energy setups for peak efficiency or tackling the challenging task of liquefying hydrogen, helium will prove to be a powerful ally in your duplicity endeavors.

Important Considerations

It is essential to note a key operational detail: natural gas and propane cannot be mixed within the same generators. Attempting to do so will result in the generators becoming blocked. Careful planning and separate power systems will be necessary to fully leverage both fuels.

This mod adds a significant layer of depth to Oxygen Not Included, encouraging players to experiment with new resource chains and advanced thermodynamic applications.
