Ah. Fun fact, I've never used a TTV or made an atmos bomb, I didn't even realize the difference

Updated with note on catalyzed phoron bombs, firefighting guide (you GOTTA breach, sorry), and BAREBONES construction guide. Will update more later.

Not sure how well this would work, but maybe add a section about siphoning an on fire room then filling it with N2?

You CAN'T siphon fire. A honest-to god phoron fire will superheat the gas to several hundred degrees MINIMUM, and usually around 5-10 THOUSAND. Hot gasses expand, and take up more volume. Attempting to siphon a plasma fire will clog upper OR lower atmos before you took more than 2-3 hundred KPA, and a burning room usually has near 1500 kpa.
As for releasing nitrogen, it WILL help cool the fire, good call. But then the area's unbreathable (the O2 burned, and N2's not breathable), STILL hot, just not 50,00 degrees hot, and STILL overpressured. If we had better atmos, it'd be a solution, and it won't make it worse... I'll add it later. I should do a gas section.

I started to write a massive engineering guide a few weeks ago but then I noticed that you're basically doing it already. Also, can you add in that because of atmos, oxygen coldstarting the SM is not possible on CM to any helpful degree?

Feel free to post thing here, I'll add them in.
As for O2... it IS possible. But awkward. As hell.

I tried it best I can, and I could only get the SM to 100 temp max with all of the oxygen canisters in engineering

How long did you leave it for? It's usually a slow, continual effect. Plus, were the COOLERS on? Have them off for a cold start...

No, turned off the coolers, had oxygen in the loop until I ran out of power in the engine room SMES, and I got it to peak at about 100K heat and next to no power output, nowhere near enough to shoot an emitter

Huh. Further research is required. I'll try a cold-start again later on low-pop, and see what I get.

Yeah, I tried messing with the piping but the lack of heat lead me to believe that some O2 was leaking out somewhere. I'd be willing to bet that it was something with the filters.

Could add a camera guide, since POs always beg for the damn things if the CE doesn't order you to put them up first.
