Tileable Hydrogen Power 240mw
Description
If you have too much hydrogen but your power is unstable or you just want MORE POWER, this power plant is for you. Although the best use case for this blueprint is to use as backup/fail-safe power plant.
- This power-plant runs mostly on hydrogen.As this is a water positive build, water is only needed for initial startup. Just make sure that after the initial start, water import is turned off.
- Smokestacks are added as a backup, so that water clogging will not break the whole plant. You don't need to add any liquid dump.
- Produces 240 MW power
- Utilizes the full throughput (72MW) of each shaft.
- 3500 MW-seconds maximum(the maximum it rises up to despite the game showing 4295 MW-seconds) of Accumulated energy per shaft
- Easily tile-able. You can use the balancer next to the water storage to take water for the next plant and so forth.
- The buffer add-on is very easy to connect. Just line up the input and output of the buffer add-on with the steam(high)balancer.
- And yes i agree.....It's toooo darn long.
Change-log:
Added V2, V2 with steam(high) buffer and a buffer add-on for v2
- High pressure turbines are now paused for a smoother startup. Unpause the high pressure turbines when the boilers shutdown after filing pipes (including the buffer) with steam.This fixes a edge case where both boilers and the low steam turbines would overwhelm the cooling towers at the startup which in turn wasted water, leading the startup to take even longer due to low water
- when placing V2 there is no extra gap like placing V1 side by side (check provided photo for reference)
- made V2 6 tiles longer than the already super long v1 power plant😅
Added Fail-safe/Backup V2 with steam(high) buffer
- This is a fail-safe version of V2 .Power generators have priority set to 12 and 14 compared to 6 and 8 of the standard v2. So this power-plant should kick in after almost any power generator you have.
Any Suggestions for improvements are always welcome.

TOP, Excelente.
Thanks. Hope you like the new one...the old one is a bit thick ...two tiles gap between for the whole length just for couple of pipes....took care of that by making it more long XD....tried to keep it compact as much as i could though
It looks nice, but how can we obtain hydrogen so that the energy consumption for hydrogen production is lower than energy production in this powerplant? To produce 230W in this power plant, 1152 MW of hydrogen is needed. The production of 1152 MW of hydrogen in the electrolyzers is -317 MW. Are you able to build, in addition to the power plant itself, a hydrogen production system so that the energy balance of both combined is positive?
About that...i use multiple sources for it.... My main source is light fuel from settlement and farm as my current pop in 23 k.....then my oil refinary...then the nuclear production which isn't working properly at the moment.... I'm working on it..i also have dirt to fuel gas trade as a backup for another source of hydrogen using this https://hub.coigame.com/Blueprint/Detail/1288....although i'm currently focusing on another big-ish blueprint which will be better
are you talking about hydrogen production from water which costs 4 times more electricity? that is only viable if there is huge amount of solar or your reactor produces too much power.
