 Storing water got you down? At the expense of power, you can turn that excess water into a bunch of heat and a somewhat risky mix of Oxygen and Volatiles using the new Electrolysis Machine. Available on the existing Atmospherics kit with Air Conditioners and Filtration machines.

 # Select [[Kit (Atmospherics)]] for placement, and change the variant to Electrolyzer.
 # Connect liquid pipe to the '''Input''' liquid connection to transfer water into the machine.
