Oxidation Chamber

The Oxidation Chamber is a processing building that converts Beryllium and Ozone into Oxide while producing Heat as a byproduct. It consumes electrical power to drive the chemical transformation and operates on a fixed production cycle measured in ticks.

The chamber requires Ozone at a rate equivalent to 2 units per second and Beryllium at 0.5 units per second as its raw inputs. It draws 30 power per second while active and completes each production cycle in 120 ticks (2 seconds). Each cycle yields Oxide at an effective output rate of 0.5 units per second; additionally, Heat is produced as a secondary output of the reaction.

These concrete operating figures summarize the building’s behavior:

• Inputs: Ozone (2 / sec), Beryllium (0.5 / sec).
• Power: 30 / sec while operating.
• Cycle time: 120 ticks (2 seconds) per production cycle.
• Primary output: Oxide (0.5 / sec).
• Secondary output: Heat (byproduct).

From a chemical perspective, the chamber models an oxidation reaction in which Ozone transfers an oxygen atom to Beryllium, producing beryllium oxide. In this representation, Ozone acts as the oxidizing agent that supplies oxygen to form Oxide; the process releases Heat alongside the solid Oxide product.

Because the Oxidation Chamber turns two specific inputs into a single processed material plus thermal output, its function is focused and deterministic: feeding it the stated amounts of Ozone and Beryllium and supplying the required power produces Oxide at the listed rate and generates Heat automatically. The relationship between inputs, power draw, and cycle time defines its throughput precisely; planning around those numbers is sufficient to predict production without variability.
