Description[edit]
Nitrous oxide is a reactive gas that will knock players out if inhaled. It acts as an oxidizer for combustion, and allows volatiles to burn significantly hotter, faster, and at a lower autoignition temperature. It can be produced in an energy intensive process inside of a Nitrolyzer.
- Stationpedia
Nitrous Oxide, also referred to as N2O or Nitrous, is a reactive gas primarily used for it's role in the creation of Superfuel. Nitrous Oxide naturally occurs when smelting lead and silver. It can also be acquired by crushing Nitrice
Details[edit]
Nitrous Oxide will condense into Liquid Nitrous Oxide at a very low pressure and temperature. Due to this, Nitrous Oxide is best stored as a liquid above 252 K (-21.1 °C). Stationeers are advised to monitor pipelines when setting up Nitrous Oxide gas systems as ruptures may occur if the temperature remains unchecked.
Nitrous Oxide can be combined with Volatiles at a 1:1 ratio to create Superfuel. Superfuel combusts at 323.15 K (50.0 °C), burning much hotter and quicker than Fuel.
While Nitrous Oxide can be acquired through smelting ores and crushing ice, it can also be created via the Nitrolyzer using a combination of Nitrogen and Oxygen.
Notes[edit]
- For rocketry, Nitrous Oxide has a mass of about 21.7 mol/kg, giving the 1:1 fuel mix a mass of 32.2 mol/kg compared to 62.5 for a Fuel mix.
- Many Nitrous Oxide storage builds will include a condensation trap to avoid pipe ruptures.
- Alien Mushrooms breathe Nitrous Oxide and exhale oxygen and nitrogen.
Sources[edit]
You can collect Nitrous Oxide from the following sources:
| Source | Amount |
|---|---|
| Nitrice | 2.5 mol |
| Silver | 1 mol |
| Lead | 0.4 mol |
