Stores a small chunk of Oxylite which gradually releases Oxygen into the environment.
Sconces prevent diffused oxygen from being wasted inside storage bins.

The Oxylite Sconce is used to store Oxylite in order to let it off-gas Oxygen.

Mechanics

When the content of an Oxylite Sconce reaches 100kg Oxylite or lower, it generates a Life Support Supply errand.

The Oxylite placed inside the Oxylite Sconce acts the same as the debris, including its gas emission:

  • It will stop emitting when the surrounding Atmosphere is above 1.8kg in pressure.
  • A maintained Oxylite Sconce will be kept between 100-240kg Oxylite, thus emitting between 252-462g/s Oxygen per second.
  • The Oxylite emission gets slower as its mass gets closer to 100kg.
  • Concretely, the Oxylite will lose 140kg over exactly 400 seconds (16 schedule blocks).
  • In other words, a maintained Oxylite Sconce averages 350g/s Oxygen as long as the Atmospheric pressure is low enough.
  • Realistically, the average will be a bit lower due to the time it takes for the duplicants to complete the refill errands.

210kg Oxylite per cycles are used on average, in order to maintain 1 Oxylite Sconce with a 100% off-gas uptime.

Storage Bin comparison

Being a formalized Oxygen Building, using the Oxylite Sconce instead of a Storage Bin provides a few advantages:

  • The errand type is Life Support.
  • Less duplicant labour: the errand won't trigger until 100kg out of the 240kg Oxylite remains.
  • More space control: the Oxylite Sconce can be placed aloft, and is only 1x1 tile wide.
  • Clearer visual remaining indicator: the stored Oxylite chunk gets smaller and smaller as it is depleted.
  • It gives +5 Decor (Radius 1 tile) instead of Storage Bin -8 Decor (Radius 2 tiles).
