addgas Command Overview

This Guide will cover the "addgas" command as detailed as i can get it.

Usage

So what is this command for?
Well to add gas to a Network, a Thing (Canister, Tank, etc.) or a Room.

Syntax

This command has 4 arguments (3 obligatory, 1 optional).

addgas Arg1 Arg2 Arg3 {Arg4}


Arg1 is the Name of the Gas to add:

• Oxygen
  
• Nitrogen
  
• CarbonDioxide
  
• Volatiles
  
• Pollutant
  
• Water (not a Gas anymore, will be handled like a Liquid)
  
• NitrousOxide

Note: This List is the Ingame List, since the last Updates there are way more Liquids in the Game than just Water. I have to test and update that List eventually.

Arg2 is the ID of the Network, Thing or Room to add the Gas to

Note: The Reference ID can be 3 Digits or more. As long as it is the correct ID it should work.

In the Screenshot below you can see the NetworkID's of the Pipes and Devices in the Room.
The Small Tank on the left for example has the Reference ID 4431 and the Thing ID 4430.
Both ID's will work.



This also works with Canisters, in this case it's 4672 or 4671. Again both will work.



To get the ID's you can use either the AuthTool (via Spawn Menu) or the command atmos:

• atmos pipe <- Toggles the visualization of Pipes
  
• atmos thing <- Toggles the visualization of Things (Canisters, Devices, etc)
  
• atmos room <- Toggles the visualization of Rooms

For Rooms you must use the Reference ID, not the Room ID.


Arg3 is the amount of Gas (in Moles) to add

Keep in Mind that adding to much Moles will cause the Pressure inside a System (or Thing) to rapidly go up. This can and will lead to catastrophic failures of components!


Arg4 is an optional Argument
This Argument sets the Temperature in Kelvin of the Gas to be added.

Be careful to use a Comma , instead of a Dot . for Values such as 273,15.
A Dot will be ignored, turning a Temperature of 273,15 K (0 °C) to 27315 K (27041 °C).

If this Argument is omitted, the Temperature will be set to 293,15 K (20 °C).

Examples

We will use the following Things in these Examples:

• Empty Canister (64 Liter Volume), ID 5229
  
• Small Tank (6000 Liter Volume), ID 4431
  
• 1x1x1 Room, ID 3519 (use the Reference ID)

Example 1
addgas Oxygen 5229 10
This will add 10 Moles of Oxygen to our 64L Canister, increasing the Pressure to 380 kPa

Example 2
addgas Oxygen 4431 5000
This will add 5000 Moles of Oxygen to our 6000L Tank, increasing the Pressure to 2031 kPa (2,031 MPa)

Example 3
addgas Oxygen 3519 250 273,15
This will add 250 Moles of Oxygen at 273,15 K (0 °C) to our 8000L Room, increasing the Pressure by 70 kPa

addgas liquid(nameofgas) add gas as liquid directly, without pressure spike

Sadly, i am out of options here. In my saves i have 3 digit Reference IDs and they work.
Old saves used to have 4 Digit IDs wich also worked.

Do you have some kind of mod installed, that changes rooms or does something with them?

[jarhead]

I already verified but it seems to only work with 4 digit id's.
it says invalid on 3 digit.

[RSOFT92]

@jarhead
If the ID you type into the command is the Reference ID from the Room, the command should work.

If it still does not work, did you try this in different saves?
You could create 2 different saves (aka 2 Worlds) and try it on both. If the error comes up on both saves, there might be something wrong with your installation.

In this case check the Installation Files via Steam (in the Properties Window of the Game in your Steam Library).

[jarhead]

It kept coming back "invalid id" for me...not sure why

[RSOFT92]

@jarhead

The 3-Digit Room ID ("Reference ID" in the Game) does work too.

I created a new World on Moon, ("Brutal" so i have less gear) and created a 2x2 Room:
4 Iron Frames as Floor with Windows around to make 4 Rooms (IDs 244 / 242 / 243 / 227).
Adding 50 Moles of Nitrogen to 244 will add that Amount to the first room, from wich it will spread to the other 3 Rooms.

@jarhead

Sorry for the late reply, Steam Notifications are a bit easy to overlook... :-(

1. Removing Gas
Sadly, i dont know an easy way to remove Gas from a system. One way would be to pump the gas into a tank and then removing that tank with the Auth Tool. Putting in a negative Amount into the addgas command, sadly does not work.

2. 3-Digit Room IDs
I have to test that (Game starting now). Can you give me a short info on the World, that you used?

[jarhead]

2 more questions.
Is there a way to delete (remove) gas from anything?
What do I do if it only get a 3 digit id number (keeps happening for rooms)?

[RSOFT92]

@jarhead

To get the ID's you can use either the AuthTool (via Spawn Menu) or the command atmos:
atmos pipe <- Toggles the visualization of Pipes
atmos thing <- Toggles the visualization of Things (Canisters, Devices, etc)
atmos room <- Toggles the visualization of Rooms

To type the command in, you have to press F3 (and for better readability enter "clear" without quotation marks first).

How do we find id tags?
