This awesome mod is part of our collection "Sirius - An arcade vision of a survival game" https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3154892496

Thank you to offer this to the community ❤️ And thanks a lot for keeping this mod up to date ❤️

Hi, I wanted to ask if it would be okay to upload your mod to mod.io?
Since we want to start a private crossplay server and would like to continue using your mod.

Works for me, wonderful mod !

Some dude saying he got unlimited hydrogen
For me it doesnt change anything lol?

Hello, is the mod broken since i feel like i have unlimited hydrogen

Is this version the current version? As in, it functions as intended with the current version of SE?

I Mainly like the visible part,, it turns the left over hydrogen in to a visible tanks to picked up when grinding an old hy tank down

Please Update!

yes I've also noticed that with the newest patch it doesn't seem to be working either. I also don't have any of the expansions, at all!

With the hydrogen rebalance in 1.197, this mod, although active on my world, seems to have disabled itself according to what I can see in the Build Info and Build Vision popups. Is that going to be an issue on future loads, and are there any plans to continue this mod with new viability limits to keep it relevant?

Thankyou!

This mod does still work with current SE, though I've made an updated version that also supports modded hydrogen engines like ones from LWTS

Is this mod walking with the actual SE Version?
CALiiGeddon 13 Aug, 2020 @ 8:57pm 
I wonder how difficult it would be to make this compatible with a mod like the LWTS tiered everything mod

Yeeaah- mod won't even work in multiplayer. Server won't even start with this mod enabled.

@Era Im using this currently on my SP game and its a must have, I love the idea of Hydrogen powered ships and rovers, I'd also recommend https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=540620366 for a source of Hydrogen without ice, but on that mod, the passive hydrogen Farm(oxygen farm lookalike) doesn't work, but the Ramscoop works like a charm

Can anyone confirm if this mod is still working as intended or not? Thinking about adding it to a server

So I got a bit of a question. I have a ship with all my o2/h2 gens off, they arent depleting ice however my h2 tanks are filling up. Is this an unintented part of this mod? Additional context, ship is Earth atmo in drydock, not connected to other grids, no other form of h2 generation on ship, air vents connected to system but they shouldn't be pulling h2.

Seems to be working fine for me

Looks like with v1.194.2 it is no longer working
Psykikk 22 Apr, 2020 @ 12:01pm 
I also have the feeling this does not apply / work anymore.

my recent small hydro fighter took one small roundtrip around the icelake (equipped with three small tanks) and crashed close before being able to redock.

it feels WAY off. especially considering that modern jets are much smaller and still being able to fly for much longer time ..

An interesting analysis of the energy conversion, although one would need to think about weight size and cost of the engines too. Not to mention extra burden of setting up energy production in order to get this benefit. But I never looked at it this way!

If we consider other perks of hydrogen working in both space and planet I think the simplicity argument still gives enough space for hydro to outshine atmo/ion in that area.

In a weird way, this actually makes hydrogen thrusters way *less* viable:
In vanilla, a large hydrogen thruster produces about 1.5kN per L. If that 1L of H2 was converted into electricity, it could produce 2kN using an atmo engine. (Only 640N with an Ion).

With this mod, a large hydrogen thruster produces 3kN/L, which *is* better. But since electricity conversion is also buffed, that same L of H2 would produce like 28kN of thrust with an atmo engine, or 9k of thrust with an ion engine.
IMO, converting hydrogen into thrust directly with a hydrogen thruster should be more efficient than converting the hydrogen into electricity and then into thrust.

Vanilla, with one large H2 gen and one large H2 engine, 1,000kg ice takes 20s to be turned into 10kL of H2. This consumes a little less than 3kwh. It then takes 10s to convert that into a little less than 14kwh of energy. A net gain of about 11wh/kg of ice. So a setup of two H2/O2 generators and one hydrogen engine consumes 100kg of ice per second, and outputs a net gain of 4MW.
With this mod, with one large H2/O2 gen and one large H2 engine, 1,000kg ice takes 20s to be turned into 20kL of H2. This consumes a little less than 3kwh. It then takes 150s to convert that 10kL into about 313kwh of energy. A net gain of about 310wh/kg of ice.The ideal setup Is then to have 7.5 H2 engines per H2 generator, which produces 56MW of power and consumes 50kg/s.

An example: Ignoring the efficiency penalty on batteries, filling a large battery in vanilla requires ~270,000kg of ice, with this mod, it requires ~10,000kg of ice.

So in total, ice gives about 28x as much energy as vanilla.

is this not working anymore after recent update?

Is this compatible with the Economical O2/H2 Generators mod? I like the features of this one and that one, but I'm not sure that both are being applied... also I really want an x2 or x3 variant of the economical mod to tie in with this one!

very nice
