Printing Pod Choice Help Please!

[MythN7]

I have a choice right now, 500kgs of algae, or 100kgs of oxylite?
anyone know what gives more o2 overall?

[OKOK]

Dont know. But i will take oxylite.

the oxylite is an emergency choice when you are low on oxygen(instant oxygen)
algae will give more over longer time

ya, i figured the oxylite wont disolve when the area around it is at 2000g, and i still have yet to even research anything needing the advanced computer.

i know 100kgs of oxylite is 50 tiles of max gas pressure, just not sure how many tiles of max pressure a distiller can pump out with 500kgs of algee

prob could figure with math, lol.
distiller puts out 333.3g/s o2 and uses, 366.7g/s of algee

so if the end o2 results are similar, mabye the oxylite cause the distiller uses quite a bit of power and makes heat.

actually just looking at it, the algee prob does way more, its very close to 1 to 1. so that is at least 400kgs of o2.

if my math is correct :P 500kg of algae wil create 454kg of oxygen

Oxygen Diffuser: 550g/s of algae > 500g/s oxygen

ya the values i gave are off the running machine what it said it was actually using and putting out at that time.
But still ya, at least 4x more o2 overall.
end game, oxylite for sure, for the rocket fuel.

Kind of pointless, 100kg is not much and oxylite is stopgap measure anyway, for those few flights before you get liquid oxygen going.

Also, just for perspective, dupe consumes 60kg/cycle...

i would choose algae, in the end it will give more oxygen.
4+ times more.
build the Oxylite Refinery and you will get 400+ kg of oxylite

or if you got enough water run some Algae Terrarium.
that would createe 600+ kg of oxygen with 500 kg of algae

Btw does algae terrarium consume algae even when there is no carbon dioxide ? because if thats the case then its just wasting algae. i never use terrariums

no they dont. but they also have no overpressure, so they can pump out o2 like crazy if its not being used. and they get a nice boost if in light, and also, they can use water that is flooding them instead of having to get bottles.

But even with the light boost, you need just over 2 per dupe for a days o2.

i didn't know any of that lol. thanks, maybe ill start using them more during early game

well early game can be a double edged sword to.
They use water akin to you leaving your shower on and flushing your home toilet 10000 times a day.
Now that they need emptying since the water is over 90% returned as PW, no germs at least. that does add up to being alot of PO2 in the air unless you can handle all that bottled yellow water.

I used only terrariums once since the start, and ended up with around 50T of polluted water bottles right there at the plants, and ended up taking a dupe full time effort just to manage filling them, emptying them, and taking care of the 20 needed deodizers lol.
Which killed almost 100T of sand before cycle 200 lol.

oh right i forgot about that polluted water, that was the reason i never used them. normal water is ok i never run out of starting water before day 200. i quess i could start using them when i get deodizers at around day 10 or if i get nice start where i can dig a pit in slime biome without slimelung being there ( i don't like having PW tank in starting area)

since that Pol Water is not germy, i keep it seperate from the other water.
So the PO2 it puts out only gets toxic if it can find a germ to start the germ oragy.
So you can get LOTS of o2 from the deodizers, but takes alot of dup time to manage and uses so much sand you need to go up and get regoloth to run them end game.

Oh also the deodizers dont have an over pressure.
So if you dont manage it closely, you also can get VERY high stress quickly from popped eardrums.
