Overview

The Oxygen Generator is a functional Block available for Small Ships, Large Ships and Stations. It is used to process Ice into breathable Oxygen and Hydrogen fuel.

Usage

If connected to a Conveyor Network via one of the inventory access points, the Oxygen Generator can automatically pull in Ice from attached inventories to process. Oxygen and hydrogen generated will travel through the conveyor system, and will be stored in an Oxygen Tank or Hydrogen Tank. If there are no tanks with vacancy in the conveyor network, the Oxygen Generator will not process Ice.

The oxygen generator can be used to refill Oxygen and Hydrogen Bottles by placing empty or partly filled bottles into the O2 generators inventory and either clicking "Refill bottles" or activating the control panel option "Auto-Refill".

Indicators

Oxygen Generator Status
Color Status
Air Vent Front Indicator cyan.png Oxygen Generator has Ice and is processing it into gas,
while there is still free capacity in the tanks it has access to.
Air Vent Front Indicator Green.png Oxygen Generator has Ice in its inventory but, is unable to process it
since all the accessible and enabled tanks are completely full.
Air Vent Front Indicator Yellow.png Oxygen Generator is powered and is On,
but has no Ice in its inventory cannot work.
Air Vent Front Indicator Red.png Oxygen Generator is either unpowered or deactivated.

Gas Generation

Oxygen and Hydrogen are produced at a 1:2 ratio. If tank space is available for both gases, both are produced at the same time. If space is only available for one of the gases, only that type is produced.

Note: The speed of the generator is unaffected by the assembler efficiency and the refinery speed world settings.

Tips

  • Sometimes it may be wise to disable your oxygen generator when you don't need it. This is because it can generate excess amounts into your oxygen tanks. If your oxygen tanks are full, you cannot depressurize a room as there is no where for the oxygen to go.
