the process of, most frequently through quickgrabbing someone, grabbing someone aggressively/by the neck and placing them on a table to quickly disarm them in combat.

This isn't a question but rather, an answer in anticipation of a question. The difference between the various pumps:-
- Gas Pump - Bog-standard pump. Great for precise levels and can pump up to a maximum pressure of 4500 kPA. Doesn't handle high pressures well and is slower than the other pump.
- Volume Pump - Like its name suggests, pumps via volume rather than going for pressure with its maximum output of 200l/s being equivalent to 9000kPA. A volume pump is great for anything where precision is not needed (like the waste pipes).
- Passive Gate - This isn't really a pump but most people don't understand it very well. A passive gate doesn't pump like the other examples, but rather, it only lets a certain amount of pressure through. So if you set it to 1500kPA, only that amount of pressure will be able to pass through it. You can think of it as a digital valve that only works one way. Maximum pressure of 4500 kPA.
Also a side note on heat exchangers. Heat exchangers equalize the temperature between two pipe networks without actually mixing the gasses, so set two up to face each other and they'll do their best to equalise pressure. As an example of how you can use them, you can use them to make a cold, isolated space loop filled with gas and have them exchange heat with the waste line to make the waste loop cold without actually making it go through space.
Actually, now that I've typed this out, I'm wondering if you can use freon and heat exchangers as a replacement for freezers in cryogenics.

You can chug cryoxidone and stand on a space tile and get healed, it doesnt matter where the cold comes from, just that the body temp gets low enough. so yeah, heat exchanger cooling works.

actually a fun fact, chugging cryox and then going into space allows you to survive when you're in space.

Anonmare wrote:What's everyone's favourite SM gas mixes?
I personally use 66% N2O and 33% O2 as I've found it a good compromise between power and stability. I know there are more power efficient mixes though, there was one guy who made this complicated mix but I don't remember what the percentages were but it had CO2, plasma, O2 and N2O and he got some really incredible power outage with full room temp plasma tanks.
If the Freon dissipation is still disabled, then Freon Breeding Reactor. Freon + energy = more freon. How can you not love that?
Alternatively, I'll put some of the mixes I came up with when coding this nonsense. Keep in mind, I have not played in a month or two or three because I'm kinda busy so they might work slightly different since you guys changed the processing speed so keep that in mind.
Low pressure, pure oxygen: Low pressure mixes do stuff a bit differently, and a lot of people overlook them. Due to the very low amounts of oxygen in the chamber, the plasma waste will actually end up making up a significant percentage of the mix count as plasma. So depending on how little gas you have in the chamber and how fast you siphon it, you might end up with 10%-60% plasma in the mix, even though you're running a pure oxygen setup. And that's extremely power efficient and extremely easy to cool. However, if the vents ever get clogged or if you move the gas too slowly, this mix goes bad extremely fast.
High Pressure, warm 50% N2O and 50% Oxygen: This is a good mix to learn hot setups. You want to run this at around 3x the amount of K that room temperature is, whatever that amount is. How do you keep this setup just warm enough but not too warm and not too cold? That's for you to figure out. Get creative and start repiping stuff. It is a very good idea to run this setup at high pressures, since those lose/gain heat much slower which makes it much easier to keep a consistant temperature.
20% CO2, 80% N2: A good starting point for the charge inertia chain reactions. Why would you run this as a non traitor? I don't know, plenty of CEs ran stage 4 singulos too. It's dangerous. It's fun. It makes stupid amounts of powers and kills everyone if you make a tiny mistake. Consider turning off some emitters for this setup. If you manage to get CO2 high, you might even want to turn off all emitters, since the crystal will produce just enough from its own heat. By the way, too much power damages the crystal directly, but you can stabilize that to a certain point by cooling the crystal enough so even these setups can end up stable.
70% Plasma, 30% CO2: Probably the weirdest setup, it resembles an oversized turbine. You cannot run this with the normal chamber, you have to move stuff around and replace some walls with spacetiles and possibly add other venting methods. The idea is that you mix this in atmos and then pipe it into the supermatter chamber. It creates absurdly high amounts of waste gas so you will want to vent it straight into space.

You're not a real engineer until you construct an excessively powerful, needlessly dangerous engine that produces far more power than anyone will ever use in the history of ever.
I remember CEs of old who would make it a project of theirs to contain a stage 4 Singularity or have a dual engine. Or a dual stage 4 engine.

Tell R&D to do their job and you'll be able to make more. Flashes got made to require research for some godawful reason.
If that fails, you can harvest two from the HoPline and outside security access with a pair of wirecutters. Or tell an engie borg to bring you the sec-vend and hack it to be all access so you can vend your own flashes

They're in the exofab only to be precise, don't ask them to print it from the protolathe. There may also be a cargo crate with flashes, but i'm not sure.

You can spam fried fried fried fried in the name by frying something, adding it to a custom base food like bread, then fry the bread and repeat ad libitum. Fried food always becomes small enough to be added to a base.

Ah but see, again, you're not deep frying it again, you're just deep frying a container it's inside of (for example, I considered cheese my do it because of cheese wheel nuke disk memes)
