- I followed all the steps but my TEG doesn't produce nearly as much power, why's that?
- What's most likely occurring is that you have multiple power sources on the station active at one time. The way that power is displayed is that it shows its active contribution to the station and not it's theoretical maximum. If you were to turn off all power sources on the station and add more power intensive devices then the TEG would show a higher value. This is also why I have a substation and an emitter below the TEG. I altered the power draw of the emitter to be enormous so that the TEG can show how much power it should be producing at max draw. Power distribution and how it takes priority is a whole another topic to delve into but if you're seeing numbers ranging from 100-200kw then you've built it correctly. You could even turn down the gas pump to accommodate for other power sources. Play with the pressure and get a feel for what it's capable of.
- I messed up the gas chamber really bad how do I fix it?
- Don't worry it's an easy fix with this setup.
- Just turn off the valve inputting into the burn chamber and max out the output of the gas pump coming out of the burn chamber. ## You should also max out the volumetric gas pump coming out of the hot loop that's going into space.
- Check if the burn chamber is empty (use a gas analyzer on the output pipe).
- When the burn chamber is empty fix the problem that broke the burn chamber, turn off the gas pump that's coming out of the output of the burn chamber, and then ignite a new flare/welder on top of the passive vent again.
- Close the burn chamber and then turn on the valve on the input side of the burn chamber, wait for 20,000C and turn on the output gas pump.
- This should empty your burn chamber without any major fixes.
