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

Hydrogen Fuel Rods have a higher fuel chamber rating than Hydrogen and are more energy dense, making for much better fuel for the Mecha.
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. Compared to simply burning raw Hydrogen, this is not recommended due to the number of assembling machines that would be required.

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]], and a loss of a [[Titanium Ingot]].
+* Hydrogen Fuel Rods have a higher fuel chamber rating than Hydrogen and are more energy dense, making for much better fuel for the Mecha.
-** 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.  Compared to simply burning raw Hydrogen, this is not recommended due to the number of assembling machines that would be required.
-*** 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.

+* Prior to [[Patch Notes/0.6.17.5972|Patch 0.6.17.5972]], Hydrogen Fuel Rods had an energy value of 40 MJ.
