Electrolyzer

The Electrolyzer is a liquid crafter that splits water into two gases: Hydrogen and Ozone. It is mainly used in the Erkir region and is part of the early-to-mid game production chain where a steady water supply and power are available. In practice, it consumes about 10 water per second and 60 power per second, producing about 6 Hydrogen per second and 4 Ozone per second.

Unlike most crafters, the Electrolyzer does not output to every side. Its two products are always sent out through opposite sides only, and rotating the building changes which side receives each fluid. Water input is more flexible: it can be accepted from any side, which makes placement easier than the output pattern suggests.

A few practical points are worth keeping in mind:

• The output sides matter for piping. If one product is blocked, the Electrolyzer will not behave like a normal all-sided crafter, so plan adjacent conduits accordingly.
• Because the two outputs are fixed to opposite sides, rotating the block is the main way to fit it into different layouts.
• It is a straightforward electrolytic process in gameplay terms: water goes in, Hydrogen and Ozone come out.
• The game’s gas colors are stylized for readability rather than realism.
• The displayed 3:2 product ratio is tuned for gameplay, not scientific accuracy.

In real-world terms, electrolysis of water would produce hydrogen and oxygen rather than ozone, but Mindustry uses Ozone as one of the outputs for its own production balance.
