Hydrogen
Material, Fuel
The most abundant element in the universe is the lightest gas.
Summary
Hydrogen, the simplest and most abundant element in the universe. It is used in the creation of multiple products or can be used directly as a fuel.
It can be harvested directly from Gas Giants using Orbital Collectors, and produced as a byproduct of many different recipes.
It can be stored in Storage Tanks as it is considered a fluid.

Production Upgrades
Hydrogen production from Orbital Collectors is affected by the Veins Utilization chain of upgrades, with each level giving a flat +10% to production.

Note: Hydrogen created during the refining process during Crude Oil-based production must be recycled through the system to ensure full efficiency. Hydrogen quantity shown in final Stage is remaining surplus Hydrogen which can be diverted elsewhere.

Player Tips & Tricks
- In mid game, Hydrogen can often build up and clog the production process. You can prevent this by either burning it in a Thermal Power Station, or crafting it into the faster-burning (in the fuel chamber) Hydrogen Fuel Rods for use in the mech.
- A single unit of Hydrogen burns for 3.33 seconds in the Thermal Power Station when at full load. A full Conveyor Belt Mk.III of Hydrogen will be consumed by 100 Thermal Power Stations.
- You can also process leftover Hydrogen in Fractionators to craft it into Deuterium, which can either be used as a material in multiple crafting recipes, or burned in a Mini Fusion Power Station after crafting it into Deuteron Fuel Rods.
- In the late game, Hydrogen may instead suffer from shortage due to the large quantities needed for production of Casimir Crystals.
