These were included in this mod I posted there some time ago......

would you be able to port this to mod io so icould use this on console?
Skallabjorn  [author] 12 Aug, 2021 @ 12:57pm 
Cheers!

No need to apologise :) I appreciate we get our mods for free so I don't expect heroic support and you responding to everyone's wish list :)
Skallabjorn  [author] 12 Aug, 2021 @ 10:13am 
it means rebuilding the model, which im not prepared to do on an old mod. sorry.

Hi Skallabjorn - just been subscribing to several of your mods - thanks for the great work.

With regards to the hydrogen farm are you able to also make the glass areas black? To follow the appearance of Nikolai's mod? If I've understood your science and the logic behind the oxygen farms, the plants we see are redundant in the hydrogen farm :)

I confess I have no idea how difficult this would be - apologies if it's a nightmare ^

This has now been updated and incorporated into my new Farms Pack which includes all sizes now, new mod is found here

Hi. any updates of mod for new SE ?
requiemfang 24 Nov, 2018 @ 10:20pm 
ah
Skallabjorn  [author] 24 Nov, 2018 @ 9:31pm 
It has description info in the help menu now
requiemfang 24 Nov, 2018 @ 9:28pm 
Soooo what changed in the recent update?
baddoggs 12 Sep, 2018 @ 6:53pm 
Very clever... And Green... AND sustainable..
Coren 12 Sep, 2017 @ 1:30pm 
Awesome job Skallabjorn :)
Coren 12 Sep, 2017 @ 1:30pm 
...technically poop and dead plant power.
Coren 12 Sep, 2017 @ 1:29pm 
..actually all mammal fart power
Starry 31 Aug, 2017 @ 10:38am 
cow fart power

@Dave Johnson no problem, the author of that one and myself are working on a pack together for a full life support system
Dave Johnson 30 Aug, 2017 @ 10:02pm 
Ah thankyou! I hadn't seen that one! i must be blind
Skallabjorn  [author] 30 Aug, 2017 @ 1:47pm 
@Dave Johnson , Its ballanced to counter this large one already on the workshop

Is there only going to be a small ship block of this? Or is there plans to make a large ship block as well/
Skallabjorn  [author] 28 Aug, 2017 @ 7:20pm 
Yes, biomass required, myself and another are pooling our modding skills to put together a total package
Tyo Atrosa 28 Aug, 2017 @ 4:26pm 
on the science side on things, it is also possible to collect ionised hydrogen from solar wind as well, space is full of the stuff. though that process would be quite slow and require a huge ion net to funnel in the collected hydrogen. converting methane would be way faster and energy efficient after all though would ideally require biomass to produce it.
McCloud Jr 27 Aug, 2017 @ 4:05pm 
No rush was just wondering and that does make sense.
Skallabjorn  [author] 27 Aug, 2017 @ 4:04pm 
in time. I figured the farm model was appropriate due to the real process sometimes requiring solar, method depending.
McCloud Jr 27 Aug, 2017 @ 3:03pm 
will this "Hydrogen farm" have its own custom model in the future?
wildgreen1701 26 Aug, 2017 @ 2:31pm 
Pretty much that be what it would be. I don't know how to mod but was thinking of getting into it when I get my PC backup and running.
Skallabjorn  [author] 26 Aug, 2017 @ 2:29pm 
HMMM thats abit beyond me....... space parachute as an ion thuuster....
wildgreen1701 26 Aug, 2017 @ 2:26pm 
One thing I like to see has nothing to do with this mod but maybe a solar sail.
Skallabjorn  [author] 26 Aug, 2017 @ 2:16pm 
My thanks WIld, appretiate the thumbs up. any tweaks needed you let me know, Im looking for ideas to work on for small block stuff

wildgreen1701 26 Aug, 2017 @ 2:14pm 
That would be awesome and I have subscribed to this mod and will keep a eye on it. I have a few of your mods and you rock.
Skallabjorn  [author] 26 Aug, 2017 @ 2:02pm 
Ah, well myself and Nikolas March are teaming up to expand on our oxy - hydrogen mods together, will ad it to our lost of things to do for the mod group :)

wildgreen1701 26 Aug, 2017 @ 2:00pm 
Yea it is but there isn't any waste bi-product to the mod.
Skallabjorn  [author] 26 Aug, 2017 @ 1:44pm 
There is a hunger thirst and life support mod already out there :)
wildgreen1701 26 Aug, 2017 @ 1:34pm 
It would be better if they put hungry and thirsty with the engineer having a waste meter as well, so we can use the bathroom. I have a mid that gives me everything I need for a restroom.
Skallabjorn  [author] 25 Aug, 2017 @ 8:46pm 
@Nikolas March Yes absolutely feel free to grab the science and reuse it :)

Yeah the 2 should be as i always use SKBN as a tag on my object names and subtype id's so there should be no over write.

As for the cooperative on the Biomass _ organics ABSOLUTELY YES lets work on that.
Nikolas March 25 Aug, 2017 @ 8:39pm 
nice, i did briefly look up the science for my large version, would it be ok if i stole this nicely laid out info? also i will add some similar components to the large grid version in my mod to match the science behind it :)

the 2 mods should be compatible, as i have named the subtypeID for the Large version on a small grid SmallBlockLargeHydrogenFarm' and i doubt you have the same subtypeID for your 1x1x3 small grid version.

Also if you are interested this could be made to use Biomass/Organics, which the game does have an icon and an 'ore' for but is just disabled in the game, i can work on a few files that we could both include with both mods that wont harm eachothers mods if one overwrites the other with regards to enabling this biomass :)
Skallabjorn  [author] 25 Aug, 2017 @ 6:18pm 
Yup that would work, but as that I dont know how to ad a new ore / element YET to the game.. thats in the future :)
d_valroth 25 Aug, 2017 @ 6:11pm 
Actually, you could make this thing work if you divided it into two blocks, one which makes methane as an ice-like item, and another which makes the exact ratio of hydrogen and oxygen you want by consuming methane.
d_valroth 25 Aug, 2017 @ 6:08pm 
Ah. See, the scientific explanation says you put water (ice) in it with the waste and it makes hydrogen and oxygen, which made me think generator. Hydrogen farm is another matter all together. So it's a space-based moisture vaporator.
Skallabjorn  [author] 25 Aug, 2017 @ 5:32pm 
Exactly, please see the added science above as it would not fit in a comment :)
Devlah 25 Aug, 2017 @ 5:27pm 
Except that this one actually provides Hydrogen, which is very useful.
d_valroth 25 Aug, 2017 @ 4:25pm 
So...it's a small block oxygen generator with an actual scientific explanation for what it's doing?
