==== Step two: Prepare the gas loop ==== # Your first step should be wrenching the N2 canisters in place. Then start turning pipes on or off according to the picture on the right. Red circled pumps should be set on and to max pressure. Turn the ones without a circle in the image off, including the one that is circled blue. #:'''Why:''' When the crystal is generating power it produces plasma and oxygen and heats up the air surrounding it immensely, thus it needs to be properly ventilated. We start by making the gas loop push N2 counter-clockwise around the loop, cooling it on the left side with the coldness of space before re-entering the engine room again from the right side. # Make sure that the top filter (green circle) is set on, with max pressure. Set the bottom filters to filter (from left to right) "Nitrogen", "Nitrous Oxide", "None", "None". Turn them all on and set them to max pressure as well. #:'''Why:''' The bottom filters separate the gases produced by the supermatter crystal to keep the gasmix constant. # Proceed to the air alarm [[File:AirAlarm.png]] next to the crystal room and take a look inside the chamber. Open the air alarm menu (on most maps it will start unlocked) and <s>set the vents to external 5000 (External will tell the air alarm to check the air outside of the vents and stop pumping if it exceeds this amount, too much gas can damage the crystal and nullify the effects of beneficial gases, regardless of temperature)</s> actually set the vents to Internal 0. This will make sure the vents can actually cool down the crystal when things go wrong (they will). Internal 0 means "make the inside of the pipe have zero pressure" so the vent will blast out all gas it has trying to empty. This means that if your crystal is getting messed up by a lot of heat and pressure the vent won't shut down and will instead continue to pump space-cooled air, reducing the pressure and temperature in the room. Set the scrubbers to '''siphon''' and Expanded Range. You don't need to change any of the settings besides the mode, on siphon, everything gets pulled in at the same rate. The scrubbers will show an animation if they are set up to siphon correctly. Do NOT set operating mode to "panic siphon" as that's not the same thing as the scrubber option "siphon". #:'''Why:''' The air alarm controls the chamber's vents (which puts gas in on the right) and scrubbers (which take gas away on the left). This step makes sure they're active and gases are moving in the chamber as fast as possible. With these all done, the nitrogen should be cycling through the system and getting nice and cool.
