CO2 scrubbers tips

[Cerber]

I see a lot of questions about the CO2 scrubber so here are some things i found out :)

first: yes, it works but since you're trying to fill your whole base with O2 it takes a while to do so and you won't see the interior O2 bar move on day 1 (unless you're using both scrubber and plants since those generate oxygen too)

if you open the glass door and look at the screen you'll see 3 values: oxygen production, temperature, power needed
you'll need over 8 l/h oxygen production to sustain you (i think)
temperature can't go in the red (over 100) or it will blow up

the 2 levers are on/off and control cooling of the scrubber (lower operating temperature but higher power usage)
the 2 knobs (1 on the left of the glass door, 1 inside it in the lower right corner) basically regulate throughput, both got 3 positions and do the same thing: increase everything

you can get good results by turning 1 lever, one of the knob twice and the other knob once
there is some randomness to it so always make sure your temperature don't go in the red

once you're happy with the values, just press start and leave it like that (even if the interior O2 bar doesn't increase right away, it will sustain your breathing so you won't be using oxygen from your suit)

hope this helps!

Just wondered what the difference is between using the C02 scrubber and connecting your base to the Well oxygen output? Is it that you need both once your base gets beyond a certain size?

A well with 2 Sabatier reactors will produce 4L/Hr O2. A scrubber Around 13L/Hr plus/minus.

Thanks! i do prefer the scrubbers.
