=[[File:Canister.png]] Practical guide to Gaseous Synthesis =
The station is in chaos, a cruel wizard has kidnapped the captain and holds him hostage. He will accept bombs as ransom, and you are the only scientist on deck. We got you covered!

Ordnance is about making gas, either for bombs or for gas shells. You can read up on all the gas reactions in the game [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#The Gases and Their Functions|here]]. 

If you are just starting out, you are recommended to make [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#BZ|BZ]] first, then [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]], before moving on to the harder gases like [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Hyper-Noblium|Hyper-Noblium]].

==[[File:BZ_canister.png]]BZ Synthesis==
BZ requires N2O and Plasma in a low pressure environment to produce. To use this you can use the freezer chamber to both cool down the reactants (drives the pressure down) and to give a larger area for the reaction to occur (also drives the pressure down).

# Wrench the [[File:Plasma_Canister.png]] plasma canister in to the first mixer port. Set the first mixer to 100% Side Node.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Red
#: <b>Why:</b> As stated above, one of the ingredients for BZ is Plasma. For the mixer, they are supposed to mix two inputs, but in this case we do not need the oxygen at all so we can route all of the plasma in.
# Wrench the [[File:N2O_Canister.png]] N2O canister in to the second mixer port. Set the second mixer to 66.67% Main Node 33.33% Side Node.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Pink
#: <b>Why:</b> As stated above, one of the ingredients for BZ is N2O. The ratio is 66.67% to 33.33% to keep the input and consumption the same. Other ratios might cause gas buildup inside the chamber
# Open the [[File:Dvalve.png]] valve connecting the Mix Line (yellow) with the Freezer line (purple)
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Orange
#: <b>Why:</b> This will redirect our mixed gas to the freezer chamber.
# Wrench a [[File:Plasma_Canister.png]] plasma canister into the freezer port. Turn the [[File:Freezer.gif]] thermomachine on and minimize the target temperature.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Blue
#: <b>Why:</b> The [[File:He_pipe.png]] heat exchangers on the freezer turf will need gas to start exchanging heat, Plasma is an exceptional coolant since it [[Guide_to_atmospherics#Heat Capacity|absorbs a lot of heat.]]
# Open the [[File:AirAlarm.png]] air alarm and look for the scrubber inside the freezer chamber (match the id). Set it to expanded mode and to scrub BZ.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Brown
#: <b>Why:</b> This will allow us to collect the BZ as they are formed in the chamber.
# Wrench a [[File:Canister.png]] canister or a [[File:PortablePump.png]] portable pump in the output port
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Light Blue
#: <b>Why:</b> The BZ collected by the chamber will be deposited to the canister or portable pump. The former is more readily available while the latter allows you to do gas shells very precisely.
# Look for the [[File:Atmostankcontrol.png]] Chamber Monitor, navigate to the Freezer Chamber selection, and in this order: Lower the injector to 1 L/S, and turn it on.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Yellow, 
#: <b>Why:</b> This will be the final step that allows our reactants to go inside the chamber. You might be able to optimize it even further by adjusting the input rate up and down as time passes. Aim for somewhere below 50 kPa.

===Addendum===
If you overpressurized the gas inside the freeze chamber, you might want to:
# Disconnect the output canister.
# Set the scrubber to siphoning in the Air Alarm.
# Turn on the bypass volume pump.
Though this may not always work, such as when the input line is already at maximum pressure. You can then change the normal gas pump to a volume pump.

==[[File:Tritium.png]]Tritium Synthesis==
Tritium is still relatively simple to grasp, but it is prone to failure which can render your workplace hazardous to work in. Don't lose hope if you fail, even experienced players make mistakes.

The production of tritium requires the combustion of plasma inside a heavily oxygenated environment. Tritium also combusts relatively rapidly with oxygen, which means you will need to upgrade the scrubber network to get sizable amounts of it. This guide will assume that you do not have the means to do that.

[[File:Trit Setup Ordnance.png|thumb|Metastation Ordnance]]

# Set the [[File:Atmos_mixer.png]] first and second mixer to 100% Main Node.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Red
#: <b>Why:</b> We require oxygen in the chamber, this setting will fully pump the oxygen in.
# Open the [[File:Dvalve.png]] valve connecting the Mix Line (yellow) with the Burn Line (black)
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Orange
#: <b>Why:</b> This will route the oxygen into the chamber.
# Open the [[File:AirAlarm.png]] air alarm and look for the scrubber inside the burn chamber. Set it to expanded mode and to scrub only Tritium.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Brown
#: <b>Why:</b> The first one will allow us to clear the yellow/black line quicker, while the second one will let less tritium burn.
# Click the [[File:Airlock_Control_Panel.png]] chamber control panel, and open the interior airlock. Wait for it to cycle. Then enter the outer part of the chamber and maximize the [[File:ppump.png]] pump leading in and pump leading out.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Beige
#: <b>Why:</b> Maximizing the first pump will allow tritium to be produced more quickly, while the second one will let less tritium burn.
# Open the [[File:Atmostankcontrol.png]] Atmos Monitor, switch the chamber to the Burn Chamber if it isn't already set. turn on the injector and maximize it. Oxygen should be showing up in the sensor.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Yellow
#: <b>Why:</b> The black line is where our oxygen is currently residing, but the injector starts off. So we need to turn it on first.
# Head back down to the Oxygen Stationary Tanks, use your analyzer on them and turn the first mixer off (Ctrl-Click) once you are satisfied with how much oxygen is in the chamber.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Red
#: <b>Why:</b> However much gas you leave in the tanks is completely optional. Keeping a reserve of around 2-3k (around 1-2 canisters) might be a good idea in case you decided to pursue another experiment that needs oxygen.
# Wait for the black and yellow line to empty out and turn the injector off with the [[File:Atmostankcontrol.png]] Atmos Monitor. The monitor should read around 1-2k moles of oxygen.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Yellow
#: <b>Why:</b> We will need the plasma to be trickled in slowly, turning the injector off first will give us ample time to prepare the plasma.
# Wrench a [[File:Plasma_Canister.png]] plasma canister in to the first mixer side port. Set the Side Node to 100% and turn it on.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Pink
#: <b>Why:</b> We are now ready to route the plasma into the chamber. The black and yellow line should be filling up with unadulterated plasma.
# Activate the burn button. Make sure you don't press the vent button.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Green
#: <b>Why:</b> This button will trigger the igniter in the chamber and allow the plasma to ignite. 
# Head back to the [[File:Atmostankcontrol.png]] Atmos Monitor and start trickling the plasma. Start with a small number, turn the injector on, and keep adding the rate slowly until the temperature is above 1.7k Kelvins. You are free to increase or decrease the rate afterwards.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Yellow
#: <b>Why:</b> Tritium is made when there are around 100x as much oxygen as plasma, we trickle the plasma slowly so this ratio is maintained. We also aim for the temperature to be above 1.7k Kelvins because the oxygen consumption is most efficient at that temperature. Higher rates mean more tritium made per second, but it also means a higher burden on your cooling system.
# If all goes well, tritium should be made and collected by the scrubber. Go to the [[File:Freezer.gif]] freezer and crank the temperature down. You should wait a bit and then wrench a [[File:Canister.png]] canister or a [[File:PortablePump.png]] portable pump to the output [[File:Atmos_Connector.png]] connector port when finished.
#: <b>Color Code:</b> Light Blue
#: <b>Why:</b> The canister is withheld because wrenching it means a smaller volumetric share for the freezer. Rather than being (200L / Pipe volume), the gas that the freezer can cool directly becomes (200 L / (Pipe volume + Canister volume)). Read more on gas equalization [[Guide to atmospherics#Pipeline and Pipenet Theory|here]]

===Addendum===
In most cases, you will <b>need</b> to add more scrubbers to the chamber. You should do this before adding anything to the chamber. To do this simply:
# Grab a firesuit and fire helmet from a [[File:Firesafetycloset.png]] Fire Closet, wear them.
# Equip and activate [[File:AirTank.png]] internals.
# Use the [[File:Airlock_Control_Panel.png]] door control and open the interior airlock. Wait for it to cycle and then enter it.
# Open the exterior airlock by interfacing with the same console again.
# Unwrench either the scrubber line [[File:Ppump.png]] pump or pipe and replace them with a [[File:Manifold.png]] layer manifold of a suitable color.
# Add four more [[File:Scrub.png]] scrubbers to the chamber. You will most likely need to do this in another layer, feel free to choose any.
# Go out by using the airlock panel once again. Wait for it to cycle.

== [[File:Hud-fire.png]] Heat Mix Production ==
For reactionless explosions and tritium bombs, we will need a heat mixture. Thermomachine does the job but not very well. 

[[File:Gas Mixer Setup.png|thumb|Gas Mixer Setup]]
[[File:Heat Pump Setup.png|thumb|Heat Pump Setup]]

Collecting the results of a burn chamber is quicker more often than not, but is very time sensitive and tends to result in a mix with lower temperature than this method.

# Prepare a gas mixer contraption as pictured.
#: <b>Why:</b> We are preparing a burn canister for the heat.
# Wrench a [[File:Plasma_Canister.png]] plasma can on the main node.
#: <b>Why:</b> A burn mix needs plasma as the fuel.
# Wrench an [[File:O2_Canister.png]] oxygen can on the side node.
#: <b>Why:</b> And oxygen as the oxidizer.
# Wrench an empty [[File:Canister.png]] can on the output node.
#: <b>Why:</b> We will heat the plasma and oxygen up inside a canister so the heat is contained inside and not lost to environment like in chamber burns. Read more [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Superconduction|here]]
# Pump in a 60-40 mix of plasma - oxygen with the [[File:Atmos_mixer.png]] mixer. Main node to 60, side node to 40.
#: <b>Why:</b> This is just <i>one</i> recipe, feel free to experiment and use another one.
# Unwrench and hook the resulting canister up to a [[File:Freezer.gif]] thermomachine. Turn shielding on.
#: <b>Why:</b> The heat will exceed the 10 K Kelvin limit allotted to canisters. Without shielding it will melt.
# Set the thermomachine to maximum temperature and unwrench the canister once it exceeds the target temperature.
#: <b>Why:</b> Get a higher temperature for better starting efficiency if you can, but anything above 100 Celcius works fine. Unwrenching is to ensure that the thermomachine doesn't end up cooling the burn canister.
# Prepare a heat pump contraption as pictured.
#: <b>Why:</b> Simple heat is not enough, we need to have the heat stored in a very dense format (plasma).
# Wrench a [[File:Plasma_Canister.png]] plasma canister to the output node, unwrench it.
#: <b>Why:</b> A whole plasma canister is too much! We only need a few moles to fully fill a tank. Less plasma also means less heat capacity which means higher temperature.
# Wrench a new [[File:Canister.png]] canister at the output node. Turn shielding on.
#: <b>Why:</b> This will allow us to only heat the moles left in the heat pump instead of the whole plasma canister. Shielding once again for temperature protection.
# Wrench the previous burn canister into the input node of the temperature pump
#: <b>Why:</b> We will transfer the heat from the burn can to the plasma.
# Turn on the [[File:Temperature Pump.png]] heat pump. Maximize it
#: <b>Why:</b> This will actually transfer the heat from the old canister to the new one, compacting the energy stored to a higher specific heat.
# Grab a [[File:Plasma_tank.png]] tank from a [[File:Tank_Dispenser.png]] tank dispenser, empty it with a portable scrubber.
#: <b>Why:</b> We will put the hot plasma into this tank so it can be attached to the [[File:Explosivebombthatgoesboom.png]] TTV. Best make sure its empty first so cold plasma doesn't equalize with the hot one, making an at best lukewarm tank.
# Insert the tank into the canister, crank the pressure up, open the valve. In that order.
#: <b>Why:</b> This will fill the tank with the necessary plasma. We are finally done.
# Do a last check on the tank using an [[File:Analyzer.png]] analyzer. There should be a hot (20k Kelvins +) mixture of pure plasma in the tank, with the pressure reading 2533 kPa.
#: <b>Why:</b> If you mess up, best know why and where exactly.
