Germs in the Polluted Water are not destroyed, they are transferred to the produced fertilizer.

The output is just enough to feed a Gas Range that is cooking quality food every cycle for one or two dupes.

The Natural Gas output can be used to offset most of the energy requirements and refund some Polluted Water.

However, dupes will have to hold their breath to collect the Fertilizer, and the Natural Gas layer can inflict the Eye Irritation debuff on them.

Keeping Synthesizer in Carbon Dioxide pit will make collection of Natural Gas easier, as it will flow upwards.

Synthesizer outputs at temperature above its overheat, which means that either its output materials should be quickly removed away, the building must be made from Gold Amalgam and/or cooled regularly.

With 75 ☌ water and 30 ☌ solids it will destroy ~20% of heat. Heating solids is a hassle, so it is recommended to feed Synthesizer with hot water, which provides more than half of the THC anyway. 41 ☌ Polluted Water and 30 ☌ solids are enough to breach this threshold (machine's heat output included). Which makes Synthesizer heat-destroying if input resources are warm enough. The sum of inputs' Total Heat Capacity is bigger than the sum of outputs' THC. The Natural Gas output of the Synthesizer can be burned to produce 7.5g/s of Polluted Water and about 88W of power. Two tame Pips, two tame Dreckos, and two Pufts supplying an Algae Distiller can fully supply one Synthesizer. 15.6 kg of Phosphorite per cycle, which can be provided by 6.2 wild Dreckos or 1.6 tame and happy.Īs can be seen, Synthesizer provides noticeable resource conservation (roughly 50% per unit output) with minuscule requirements.Īll of the ingredients can be obtained renewably via Ranching.Pincha Pepper (the least demanding plant) requires 35 kg/cycle. 23.4 kg of Polluted Water per cycle (exactly two Lavatory uses).39 kg of Dirt per cycle, almost as much as 8 Sleet Wheats (enough to feed 3 dupes).

Natural Gas is released at fixed 76 ☌ into the surroundings.Ĭonstantly running Synthesizer produces 72 kg of Fertilizer per cycle, which equals to 14.4 Micronutrient Fertilizer uses. Fertilizer is dropped in lumps of 10 kg at 50☌, which can be hotter if any input was above their minimal temperatures. Fertilizer Synthesizer uses Polluted Water, Dirt and Phosphorite to produce Fertilizer, as well as Natural Gas.
