Mechanics

The Electrolytic Separator has three internal tanks. The first tank holds up to 24,000 mB of input liquid, and can be input from any side of the machine. The remaining two tanks hold up to 2400 mB of the output from the electrolysis process. The main tank can't auto-input liquid, but the 2 output gases are automatically ejected. If either of the product tanks fill up, the Electrolytic Separator will stop processing. This will prevent it from filling up the other tank. If only one of the products is desired, pressing the square on bottom left or right will begin dumping the gas of the corresponding side to the environment. This will not cause any harmful effects despite what one would predict. Setting this button on Dumping Excess will dump gas above 1888 mB in the storage.

Efficiency

State	Consumption Rate	Energy Consumption	Energy Storage
Unimproved	20 mB/t	400 J/t (160 RF/t)	160 kJ (64 kRF)
Fully Improved	5,120 mB/t	102.4 kJ/t (40.96 kRF/t)	1.6 MJ (640 kRF)

Depending of the liquid, the ratio of production changes:

• 10 mB Water → 10 mB Hydrogen + 5 mB Oxygen
• 10 mB Heavy Water → 10 mB Deuterium + 5 mB Oxygen
• 10 mB Brine → 1 mB Sodium + 1 mB Chlorine

Supported Upgrades

• 8 Speed Upgrade : each upgrade multiplies the speed by 2 up to 256, and the energy consumption by 2 up to 256.
• 8 Energy Upgrade : each upgrade multiplies the energy storage by 1.33 up to 10. Has no effect on efficiency of the machine due to game balance.
• 4 Muffling Upgrade : reduces the sound of this machine.
