best way to deal with hydrogen ?

[Washout]

I forgot the electrolysis produces hydrogen and now the top level of my base is ready to explode.
I am making a cave for the hydrogen to drift into, besides that I dont know what to do with it

If you have the tech you can make a hydrogen generator. That way you can get rid of it AND make some power in the process.

tried that and i don't have enough hydrogen to make it work

What machinery produces hydrogen? I'm now having the same problem and didn't realise that some stuff actually created hydrogen.

electrolosys. makes 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen

Oh I see. I now realise you said that in your opening post but had forgotten that was one of the names of the machines..lol..thx!

It's pretty broken right now to be honist. The pumps can't pump it fast enough and each pump keeps stopping saying "No gas" when the room is filled to the brim with hydrogen. Hell my base is mostly hydrogen at this point with 6 pumps going and they can't keep up with one Generator because the gas can't flow into them fast enough.

I just figured out the problematic way to hydrogen power.

it is finally working for me. Or not it was simpler then I thought. one must not be greedy

first u need build up the hydrogen in a bell chamber(a build bunch of electrolysis thingy in existing chambers can do that). Build it on top of your base for the best. After all it the the oxygen generation that attracted people.

then u would have a gas filter to ensure no other gases (nomally oxygen note there is a bug here a normal save and reload might be need to get the correct gas in the system running).

Next you need a "master control valve" set the fuel intake to max 100g/s for the hydrogen stockpile inside the valve.

followed by a valve for each of the hydrogen generator so that it would not over consume per fuel intake (observed was 100g/s to 125g/s max).

Optimal a set up for 6 electroysis can fuel up to 3 to 4 hydrogen generators in 2+1 or 2+2 per master valve per pairs arrangement. it is advise go for the prior if not particular power hungry for longevity of the fuel generation.

worth noting if u do see the green bar going up it actually meant u had exhasted a huge portion of the hydrogen actually needed.

also you dont need to turn the generator off if u had max your battery just turn the master valve to the minium 10g/s it will further encourage the build up already in the master valve.

That's not how physics works. Using electrolysis for producing fuel for generators makes absolutely no sense. Infinite energy perpetual motion device...
