Piped Electrolyzer: Streamline Your Oxygen Production in Oxygen Not Included

For dedicated duplicants striving for peak efficiency in Oxygen Not Included, the introduction of the Piped Electrolyzer mod offers a significant upgrade to essential gas management. This clever modification enhances the core Electrolyzer functionality, allowing for seamless integration into your existing gas piping networks and saving valuable duplicit space.

Enhanced Gas Integration

The primary innovation of the Piped Electrolyzer lies in its ability to directly output produced oxygen into connected gas pipes. Gone are the days of relying solely on atmospheric emission for your oxygen supply. This feature allows for more controlled and predictable oxygen distribution throughout your base, crucial for maintaining stable atmospheric conditions and supporting your growing colony. While oxygen is neatly piped away, the mod maintains the default behavior of emitting hydrogen into the surrounding environment, with a pressure limit of 1.8KG.

Balancing Power and Output

Understanding the resource demands of your base is paramount in Oxygen Not Included, and the Piped Electrolyzer is designed with this in mind. It draws 480W of power, a figure carefully chosen to reflect the energy required for both gas processing and the integrated piping system. This power cost aligns with the efficiency gains, as it accounts for the energy equivalent of actively pumping oxygen into your pipelines, a task that would otherwise necessitate additional infrastructure and power consumption.

Unlock New Possibilities

The Piped Electrolyzer is not an immediate addition to your construction menu. To access this advanced gas processing technology, you’ll need to invest in the ‘Air Systems’ research. Once unlocked, however, its benefits become readily apparent, offering a more streamlined and efficient approach to managing your colony’s vital oxygen supply. This mod is particularly valuable for players looking to optimize their base layouts and reduce the footprint of their gas production facilities.

Key Features of the Piped Electrolyzer:

• Directly pipes oxygen output into connected gas networks.
• Maintains default hydrogen emission with a 1.8KG pressure limit.
• Requires 480W of power, reflecting integrated piping efficiency.
• Unlocked via the ‘Air Systems’ research.
• Updated for compatibility with the latest game versions, including adjustments to heat production and output temperatures to match base game changes.
