200MW Surplus H2 Converter

200 MW H₂ Reformer — seawater-fed, water-positive, constant output

Late-game hydrogen factory that turns a 200 MW solar array into a steady 576 H₂. Fully self-sufficient on water — it desalinates its own from the sea, no groundwater or imports. Runs flat-out 24/7 with zero batching: output is dead constant, exactly as calculated.

Inputs: seawater + power only Output: 576 H₂ (+ vented O₂) Water: net +57 surplus (pipe it to your colony for free) Blueprint: buildings only, no pipes — drop it down and wire it your way.

Building stats

Flow balance

• Power: 180 (boilers) + 5.2 (13 desalinators) + pumps ≈ ~186 MW — fits a 200 MW array with headroom for cloud/ramp.
• Steam: 240 super made → 216 to reformers + 24 to super-desalinators. Reformers emit 216 depleted → consumed by the 9 depleted-desalinators.
• Water: consumed 528 (240 boilers + 288 reformers), produced 585 (297 depleted-desal + 288 super-desal) → +57 surplus.
• Seawater drawn: 567. Brine dumped: 222. O₂ vented: 576.

The trick to water-neutrality: the reformer's waste depleted steam runs its own desalinators (free heat), and 4 super-fed desalinators close the last gap — turning the whole thing water-positive off seawater alone.
