==== Metal Hydrogen production ====

The pinnacle of atmospherics:

* Make Golems at a fraction of the rate that science can manage, twenty minutes later!
* Export for a price laughable compared to what you already produced from the Incinerator alone!
* Wear pretty-sweet looking armor with resistances a fraction of what the basic hardsuits offer, and die to the inevitable thermal leak which makes every area fewer than five airlocks away uninhabitable!

You do get a lot of kudos just for being able to make Elder Atmosian gear, though.

Competes with Nitrium Formation for hardest reaction to master, except you can't bypass the process to make Metal Hydrogen bars using fusion.

The process is too random to make a universal prescription, though 97% H2 3% BZ injected with a slow input will cover most cases. Some notes on both direct and emergent behavior:

* More hydrogen is not necessarily better. Hydrogen and BZ is consumed proportional to the amount of Hydrogen present, though randomly relative to each other, but will still only randomly produce up to one bar per atmos update in ideal conditions.
* More heat is not necessarily better, as it reduces the odds you will produce usable Metal Hydrogen bars.
* Meeting mass and temperature conditions without meeting pressure conditions will cause the reaction to fizzle: still '''rapidly''' consuming energy as normal, but never being able to produce bars. Either ensure you have enough heat that when you have the mass, the pressure threshold is met, or enough mass that when you have the heat, the pressure threshold is met, since this will quickly deplete your heat supply otherwise.
** A mass of at least 301 moles per tile will ensure this condition is never met, but will triple the rate of consumption for the same result.
** or a temperature of at least 28.7 million Kelvin will ensure this condition is never met, but will come with slightly worse than 50/50 odds that hydrogen is consumed without producing anything.

Keep an eye on your hydrogen and heat budgets, as well as how much time you are willing to wait to produce bars, and continually adjust your strategy to suit the circumstances.

Try to make sure the HFR doesn't EMP a third of the station in the process. Reaching over 300% iron content will make it very difficult for the HFR to return to safe operating parameters, regardless of Healium availability. Throwing on the brakes at 280% will keep you safe, but will give you only about four minutes of sustained heat availability.
