How do you deal with base wide overpressure?
I keep running into the problem of gas overpressure through my intire base. Does anyine know how to reduce gas pressure over a large area?

start removing gas, with co2 scrubbers for example. hydrogen generators will also eat up gas

to fight overpressure in the now, expand in the direction the problematic gas is (so expand downwards if co2 is building up too much)

Depends on the gas causing the problem... Oxygen overpressure is no problem, your producers will just shutdown till the pressure lowers.

Hydrogen, set up a hydrogen generator and get some free power while burning it off.

Carbon Dioxide or Chlorine, dig a pit below your base is usually the easiest. You could set up scrubbers to destroy co2 or let slicksters convert it to oil for you. Chlorine is handy to pump and store in a room somewhere for preserving food or for slime storage to kill germs.

I admit I am lazy this time and just use a gas-crusher. Alternatives would be to pump gas into a cavern for the time being and later dump it into space.

To store useless gas i just build a pipe wall ending in a gas bridge to nowhere. Many kilos of gas are stored in the pipes, then I get a plumber to bottle it in his free time to neatly compress it till I want to use it for anything.
