[BUG] This setup is deleting hydrogen

According to more knowledgeable players, the problem I am experiencing in the setup above is the same discussed in this topic here https://forums.kleientertainment.com/klei-bug-tracker/oni/electrolyzer-not-producing-expected-amount-of-hydrogen-r5551/

I would say the issue is, you are pumping out more Hydrogen than you could ever produce with that setup. So it isn't being deleted your Hydrogen generators are just using more than you have.

If you test this design and try to electrolyze 1000kg of water and store all produced Hydrogen you will get only ~83kg of the gas. What happens to rest of it?

I don't know about the maths around it, but just by looking at it I know it will not work, mainly because there is no kind of automation. Those two Hydrogen generators are just going to constantly generate power, even if it's needed or not they are not going to stop so long as Hydrogen is being pumped to them, and one Gas pump would be more than enough to do that but yet there are two of them. Also looking at it whoever designed it they expected the Hydrogen to all be used up, as they had to put in gas filters to separate the oxygen from the Hydrogen. All in all it is just a poorly designed SPOM, I'm sorry but that's how I see it and reminds me of my own awful attempts when I started playing. Also what's the pressure of the Oxygen, as that also effects the gas production as the game only allows 1 type of gas per tile, so if there is far too much oxygen then that will effects the production of Hydrogen no matter what the maths are and looking at those screenshots, there is certainly plenty of oxygen in the room.

Then I strongly suggest starting from there before you decide to post and state that no Hydrogen is deleted.

This bug report is not about that particular electrolyzer build efficiency - it is about the fact that it can't work well because gases are deleted if there is too much space around electrolyzers and especially if there is no constant layer of Hydrogen above electrolyzers.

And as a curiosity here is a SPOM that doesn't delete gases, is 100% uptime, has no automation, but yet it can fully support 2 hydrogen generators 100% utime:
