Hydrogen Farm

Description
Updated: New Model, well rehash of the Oxygen Farm, with some hex edits to make the glass black again.
Changes reverted due to unknown error.
Updated definitions for Particle effects, Emissive sun exposure indicators, upped the power usage slightly, dropped the output slightly
Not Working? Look for section below to help explain...

Increased Hydrogen production quantity and power usage to allow for a separate Small Grid 3x1x1 version to balance with this mod, see details and link below, significantly reduced quantity of Bullet Proof Glass required to build.

Update: now buildable on Small grid, but is the same size as the large grid block

Update: new/old icons with fixed backgrounds

Hydrogen farm
This is balanced closely to my Oxygen Farm Balance mod, this outputs 0.1 of whatever unit/scale its using, this should be about 6L of hydrogen gas per minute at full farm exposure to sunlight, and uses 10kW of power

I decided to use the old oxygen farm model for the hydrogen farm, as its easier to tell them apart :)
models and textures are KSH pre-beta assets, icons were done by me in MS paint and converted using GIMP :)

feel free to use this mod however you want, rip apart etc :)

Not working? the info display in the control panel on the bottom right, shows producing Oxygen, ignore this, the Hydrogen Farm is just a modified Oxygen Farm, this info display either can not be changed, or is beyond my ability to change.
Also, here is some math to explain why you arent seeing any change in a short period of time...
the recently added large grid small hydrogen tank is 1million litres capacity, with one farm producing at 6L per minute (direct sunlight), thats approx, 16666 minutes, or 2777 hours, or 115 days to fill that tank, thats real days. Add more farms, a lot more. No i wont increase the output, this is not for fuelling ships, its to give extra jetpack fuel.

Most definitely making hydrogen, hook it into a tank and you will see ( takes time tho )

this is a myth :) i mention on the mod page, i can not change the word that says its creating oxygen, trust me it is creating hydrogen :)

Installed the mod but the black glass generator makes oxygen, despite being called a hydrogen generator.

Could use a higher production version, more expensive, but also more effcient... maybe the black tubes could be like their modules seperatly welded up onto that lower white block, but on more than just one side and that white block 3-5 blocks high.

Not sure i described it well. Like a caktus, 3-5 blocks hight, center has on all sides slots in to which you weld/plug in the tubes.

also i have just remembered that gas tanks dont get updated very often, they get updated every 100L of gas input :)

they produce hydrogen, ignore the fact that it dsays its making oxygen, that part is only changeable by script, i will get to it eventually, but it takes a whoile to fill even one tank
GundamPilotJack Sep 7, 2023 @ 2:18pm 
and do they produce oxygen or h2 ? i might even have build the wrong tanks then
GundamPilotJack Sep 7, 2023 @ 2:17pm 
was about to ask did build a few large tanks but none of them have 1 litter yet in them and if 4 times checked that theyre connected , but i suppose they are just more for decoration and small tank rigt?
