Editing Guide to the Supermatter (section)

=== Gas Interactions ===
Each gas has a different effect when it surrounds the supermatter crystal. The strength of each effect depends on the percentage of it in the gasmix in the supermatter chamber.

[[File:Freon_canister.png]]<s>Freon
'''Safety: Extremely safe'''

Freon is a good emergency gas. It cools down all other gases in the loop and slowly dissipates away into nothing.<br> 
It is not suitable for producing power though, because it severely lowers the power transmission rate.</s>

As of 10-27-17, Freon has been removed.

[[File:N2_Canister.png]]N<sub>2</sub>
'''Safety: Very Safe'''

N2 is a good safety gas. It actively lowers the temperature and the amount of waste gases that the supermatter crystal produces.<br>
Precooled N2 is good to have around for emergencies.

[[File:N2O_Canister.png]]N<sub>2</sub>O
'''Safety: Safe'''

N2O reinforces the heat resistance of the supermatter crystal, allowing for much hotter setups than usual.

[[File:O2_Canister.png]]O<sub>2</sub>
'''Safety: Dangerous'''

Oxygen is the gas with the best power/danger ratio. It provides a boost to power transmission without actively increasing the waste gas amount or temperature.<br>
Pretty risky to use, as any disruption of the cooling loop will soon cause a plasma fire in the crystal chamber. Even just a high concentration of O2 will activate and continuously power the crystal.<br>
If you're badass enough to run an O2 setup: Always precool it before flooding the Supermatter chamber.<br>

[[File:Plasma_Canister.png]][[Plasma]]
'''Safety: Very dangerous'''

Plasma is very similar to Oxygen but provides a much higher power boost as well as waste and heat penalty. The extreme pressures and volumes of gas produced by this gas are very likely to clog pipes.<br> 
WARNING: The roundstart setup cannot handle pure plasma setups.

[[File:CO2_Canister.png]]CO<sub>2</sub>
'''Safety: Oh shit what are you doing'''

CO2 is a very dangerous gas - in low concentrations, it will increase the crystal's power generation and can be used to produce Pluoxium as well.<br>
In high concentrations, however, it will raise the crystal's energy to extremely high levels. This causes catastrophic side effects (electric arcs and anomalies) until it eventually explodes into a [[Tesla]] ball.<br>
Only for the brave!
