Hydrogen Fuel Rod

End Product, Fuel

With a further development of cryo-technology, we can liquefy hydrogen to make fuel rod with higher energy. The higher the energy of the fuel rod, the more increase of the mecha fuel power.

Summary

Hydrogen Fuel Rods are a mid-game fuel source made from hydrogen and titanium ingots. They are more efficient and contain more energy than early-game energy sources (such as energetic graphite), but are slightly harder to acquire. They an be used in thermal power stations and the Icarus' core reactor.

Player Tips & Tricks

Crafting 10 hydrogen into 2 hydrogen fuel rods confers a 20% raw energy gain (+18 MJ). The net energy gain (subtracting power used by assemblers and sorters) is 18.6% (+16.8 MJ).
Hydrogen Fuel Rods burn for 20 seconds in a Thermal Power Station. One Assembling Machine Mk.I producing Hydrogen Fuel Rods can support 5 Thermal Power Stations.

Historical

Prior to Patch 0.6.17.5972, Hydrogen Fuel Rods had an energy value of 40 MJ.

 ==Player Tips & Tricks==
-* The recipe requires 5 Hydrogen at 8 MJ each, while the finished product has 40 MJ. This means there is no gross energy gain when burning [[Hydrogen]] when burning in a [[Thermal Power Station]] but there will be a loss of 1 [[Titanium Ingot]].
+* Crafting 10 hydrogen into 2 hydrogen fuel rods confers a 20% raw energy gain (+18 MJ). The net energy gain (subtracting power used by assemblers and sorters) is 18.6% (+16.8 MJ).
-** However a stack of Hydrogen Fuel Rods stack better (30 * 40 MJ = 1.2 GJ) as compared to a stack of [[Hydrogen]] (20 * 8 MJ = 0.16 GJ).
+* Hydrogen Fuel Rods burn for 20 seconds in a [[Thermal Power Station]].  One [[Assembling Machine Mk.I]] producing Hydrogen Fuel Rods can support 5 Thermal Power Stations.
-*** A full [[Storage Tank]] of [[Hydrogen]] has 80 GJ of energy (8 MJ * 10000 slots)
-*** A full [[Storage Mk.II]] of Hydrogen Fuel Rods has 72 GJ of energy (40 MJ * 60 slots * 30 stack size)
-** Hydrogen Fuel Rods also have an added 100% Fuel Chamber Generation bonus from component [[Hydrogen]].
-** As a result, Hydrogen Fuel Rods should typically be used to fuel the mech as needed, and raw [[Hydrogen]] used for [[Thermal Power Station]] power generation.
