Module slots for O2/H2 generators

Jappards shared this feedback ago

Submitted

O2/H2 generators should have module slots that can be used for the same modules as the ones used for refineries and assemblers. The O2/H2 generator is the only production block that doesn't have a module slot and doesn't have a worse version in progression. It just makes sense to be able to use the same modules on this block.

As expected, speed modules would make the generator create more hydrogen and oxygen while consuming more ice and requiring more power, Yield modules make the block create more oxygen and hydrogen for less ice consumed and power efficiency reduces power requirements.

Totaly agree, the speed of tank filling is so slow.

Any self-respecting h202 generator will always do 2x H20 -> 4x H2 + O2. Its is a very simple technology and a common high-school level science experiment. You can't do better than that and you have to try very hard in order to do worse. Yes, its a game, but there's a limit to how much poetic licence you can get away with before it loses any resemblance of realism. The absence of force moments its already cringy enough ...

Besides why would it ever produce only one gas and not the other? That does not make sense either ...

Except the ratio is currently 50% H2 and 50% O2. Where does the remaining hydrogen go?

Sigh :(

Wouldn't it be better to just build a second generator?

A second generator won't increase yield per unit of ice, nor will it reduce power requirements. Speed may reduce the hassle of conveying up the generators, as less are needed for the same amount of ice. Hydrogen has been difficult to balance from the start, I hope allowing upgrade modules, an almost abandoned system, allows for better balance tweaks.

The ideal situation is an upgradable block that allows the user to build less of them. Ie, exactly what it does for the refinery and the assembler.
