Using an Electrolyzer
Would somebody mind posting a screenshot of an Electrolyzer, a Gas Filter, and a Hydrogen Generator working together? I have never been able to get the plumbing quite right, and I've been trying all day. Thank you.

I know this isn't exactly what you asked for, but this video has a very nice electrolyzer set up. It powers itself and doesn't even need a filter. https://youtu.be/g2J3mdElQSo

Two electros and two pumps with two filters each. One filter for oxygen and one for hydrogen with an exhaust outside the room for any Co2/misc. There is almost none of that once you clear out the room at first, but you still need one. It's a lot simpler than it looks because I'm a simple man. Oxygen out to the right, hydrogen out to the left.

There is absolutly no need to use even one filter, not to mention 4 filters! This set up will waste 480W of power. Bad design.

You can make a mechanic filter like on the video in first post - but then a totaly 3 gas pumps will be needed, as electrolyzers output O2 at rate of 888g/s.
Or you can use 2 pumps and one filter only. This saves 120W teoretically, comparing to the set up with mechanical filter. But even if there are 3 pumps, you can still save some power with automation and run them only if needed gas pressure is reached.

He asked for a picture, I posted one. Was not looking for a snooty review of my gas filters. Not everyone lives on youtube. I have zero interest in watching videos of other people playing games while being ingratiating for subs and clicks. I'll look things up if I can't get them to work. But this works so no need to look.

You showed him a bad design, which could lead him to make same mistakes.
You don't need to watch a single video to come to conclusion that having a 4 filters might be a total waste of energy and start trying to optimize the solution. Optimization is a very important part of this game, but I guess not everybody cares about it and just want to build something that works, but is inefficient. I try to always optimize my builds.

been using the cryptofox one and its pretty good, completely self sufficient on power so much so im actaully looking into amping the power with the power station to have a rotating power system around gysers with a pool of power that is fed from various sources when it refills

you will still need to look for water though as it will constantly eat water

The basic setup using a filter. Works, but was not built with temperature contol in mind (these are old screenshots).

And when he asked for a picture he didn't expect a "how to waste tons of space and energy" example. And if you don't want "snooty" critique coming your way I suggest not talking ♥♥♥♥ about those guys wo actually do put some thought into their builds.

Kind of a similar question. How do you get the gas filters to work 100%? Even when I set it to a specific gas, it sometimes/occasionally always pulls in a different gas its set not too.
Nellvan Jun 29, 2018 @ 8:05am 
That happens when the filter doesn't have a stable power supply. Or when the piping isn't right, though I guess then it should happen more often than just occasionally.

To eliminate that case, you do have all the three bits of pipe connecting to the filter seperated from each other? No one section of pipe going across?

I recognize you: you're the High Chieftain of the My Way or the Highway Tribe. And how dare me not imitate engineers with zero personality who are playing the game for money on Yotube!?! I should just be shot! These forums are just for perfect people! Didn't you see the sign?

It works. Ergo it is not a bad design. if didn't work it would be a bad design. It is not a perfect design and I never claimed it was. But like I said, I am not in the mood to have my gas filters anally probed by people who think three autistic people on Youtube should decide how ONI is played. Also, I did what the OP asked for. You didn't, but punted to one of your fellow engineer barbarians on Youtube instead. Take your horned helmets and leave, the whole lot of you!

Folks, I'm a "she"; otherwise, thanks for your comments. Am I right in inferring from these setups that I should wait to build a hydrogen generator, and do coal first?
Nellvan Jun 29, 2018 @ 8:43am 
SKull.. I don't even know where to start. Yes it is a bad design. Very bad even.

It wastes a ton of power. New players could even be driven into game over trying to make it work. It's also a huge room for no reason.

People cite youtubers because you can look it up and see how it works. Much more conveniant than typing it out over and over again. As has been said, using 3 times the filters that serve very limited purpose at best and no purpose most of the times is obviously bad, this has nothing at all to do with "3 people on youtube tell others how to play"

And again, getting stubbornly defensive over your stuff while flinging this kind of crap onto others? Get help, you seriously got some issues.

I knew there was something and I should've at least use "they", might 've be the name *cough*. Sorry.

You can also get by using manual generators, but building a coal gen more or less asap is generally not a bad idea. It's a decent chunk of power generation without too much hassle. Watch out for that co2 though and put some isolated tiles or abyssalite around it. (or between it and your base at lest)

The 2 electrolyzer + hydrogen gen thing is nice in that it basically powers itself and still produces a bit of H2 that is useful for cooling systems.

My god, a sub-optimal design in a video game! Evacuate the internet, these are the Endtimes!

I get "stubbornly defensive" because you derailed the entire thread with irrelevant garbage. The question was how to connect a pump, a filter and a hydrogen generator, which was shown clearly in the picture, "bad design" or not. It was not "how do I set up a perfect oxygen system". If it had been I would not have answered because I don't know. But if it had been you would imagine that the OP had found one of your tedious engineer heroes on Youtube to find out rather than ask here.

And then in the barbarians predictably wade with their inevitable youtube links. You are insufferable and I hold you in contempt! That is what is happening here. I don't care that my designs aren't perfect. In fact I'm well aware, and never said that they were, much unlike you and the other barbarians. That does not mean that I don't know how to connect a pump, a filter and a hydrogen generator, which was the damn question that the OP actually asked. He even asked us to post a picture, which I did and you did not. No, you posted a link to personality-less engineer barbarian #03. It has nothing to do with being "stubbornly defensive", but about a horde of ridiculous petimeters who refuse to think for themselves or try anything without first checking if it's OK with Brothgar, insisting that everything be exactly like they learned on Youtube at all times. Or there will be endless smug, condescending debates on Steam...

What a community you re helping grow here, dude! Just so warm and inclusive. No one can speak unless he is absolutely perfect, regardless of the issue. F you and the horse you rode in on!

This wasn't about perfection. Guess what, the one I posted is not perfect either. This was about showing a simple electrolyzer setup, and your pic does not "simply" show anything in the first place, that's just part of it being overly complicated. Additionally there will always be critique that is beyond the literal scope of the question. It's an engineering game, what a suprise there's engineering-minded people playng it, eh?

And I might go out on a limb here, but yes I think people like you are not welcome in this community. And that has nothing to do anything concerning the game and everything with your conduct. Claiming others have derailded the thread after you showered it in slurs and insults really is the cherry on top of all this.
