Setting up the mix chamber

So you are ready to graduate from Station Engineer up to Atmospherics Technician and are looking for something a little more in-depth than laying down wires and clicking on boxes to set up the AME? Well look no further, after reading this you will be smarter than those dummies next door and have the skills to show for it! This guide is designed to walk you through, step by step, in creating your first burn mix using the mix chamber. At the end you should have a basic understanding on how the burn chamber functions and if everything is done right you will be one step closer to mastering atmospherics!

Make sure you have a basic understanding on how atmospherics works. If you don't, read the guide to atmos and once you feel comfortable come back here.

About the mix chamber

As of right now, the mix chamber has almost no practical use. aside from creating awesome fire and cool looking gases It provides no power and no benefit to the station. It is just here for adventurous atmosians to flex their knowledge and to get a better understanding on how gases interact with one another at different ratios under various pressures and temperatures.

First things first

So you just started a new round on space station 14 and want to use the mix chamber. The very first things you should do is grab your equipment. Make sure you have either your firesuit or atmospheric hard suit and internals available to provide you some protection in case of an accident. Next, be sure to grab your handy dandy gas analyzer to be able to see what's going on inside those pipes. Lastly and arguably the most important thing you should do at round start is to consult with your fellow atmospheric technicians and Chief Engineer to make sure everyone is on the same page. The last thing you want to happen is to have your coworker unwittily dump your burn mix into the room by un-wrenching a pipe or find out that they accidently pumped your burning hot mix into distro.
