-To build this type of bomb you firstly want to start the reactor of your choice normally and collect a few dozen moles (around 20-30 are enough) of nucleium. Then heat up said nucleium with a tier-one heater to 573K and pump it with an air pump (the blue one) at a pressure of 2533kpa into an empty plasma tank. For the cold part a tier-one freezer doesn't cut it, but you can simply reach the temperature you need by using heat-exchanger pipes in space and cooling a canister of oxygen connected to it. This will bring the oxygen temperature to around 22K and you can again input the cold oxygen with ''another'' (or emptied out) air pump in another empty tank. Then assemble the bomb as seen above with a transfer valve and the signalling device of your choice.

 To reach our target temperature of about 43.15 Kelvin, we're going to need to upgrade our Heaters/Freezers with [[High-Power_Micro-Laser|Tier 2 Lasers]], which should by now be available from the Science Protolathe in [[Research and Development]]. If not, consider liberal application of a Toolbox to your fellow scientists heads, and/or research Industrial Engineering yourself and print 4 of them.

 Next, head back to your den and [[Guide_to_construction#Machines|dismantle]] the [[Freezer|Freezer and Heater]], flip the Heater board to turn it into a Freezer board, move the machine frame and re-build it so it connects to your manifold under the gas meter. Re-build the other freezer, too. In both cases, use your new lasers rather than the ones that pop out of the machine when you crowbar it. Turn both freezers on and set the temperature to 43.15 Kelvin. Take your fourth and last Oxygen canister, wrench it to the right side of the gas filter, take one of the blue [[Portable Pump]]s and wrench it to the other side and turn the filter on without actually filtering anything. [[File:Toxins guide air alarm.jpg|150px|thumb|What the air alarm in the above setup should look like so you actually get some Tritium.]]
 At this point, you should have three full Oxygen canisters worth in the heating chamber. Go into the airlock, set the pressure pump to 50 kPA and set the [[Air Alarm]] next to the Freezer to Scrub, Extended, Tritium (for all scrubbers in the room, if you added more). Grab a Plasma canister, wrench it to the input connector and as soon as you see purple gas going into the mix chamber, ignite it. After a few moments the fire should become blue and you'll start creating Tritium, which will automatically be scrubbed into your pipe network up to the volume pump '''(LEAVE THE PUMP OFF FOR NOW)'''. The freezer will work hard to cool it down while the scrubber keeps putting hot Tritium in the pipes.
-Return to the Portable Pump you left above to be filled with Oxygen and wrench it to the free Freezer. Leave it like that, take a  [[Portable Pump]] and wrench it to the Output of the heating chamber but '''KEEP THE VOLUME PUMP TURNED OFF.'''

 The Oxygen is now cooling, your Tritium is being created. Keep [[Analyzer|analyzing]] the pipes with the Tritium in it. Soon, you should stop getting new Tritium (the 'mol' value will stop going up) and the temperature should approach our target 43.15. Anything below 45 is fine. Then, and only then, turn the Volume Pump on and put all the Tritium in the [[Portable Pump]].

 So fate has decided to make you a [[Traitor|bad guy]] and you've decided to use your newfound knowledge in the art of bombing to tear the station a new one. Great! If you've followed the above instructions at least once, however, you'll probably have realised that you only have enough gas mix to make a single bomb. There are, however, six Tank Transfer Valves in your table (and you can even get more from Cargo). Surely this is no coincidence? Indeed it isn't.
 A simple regular old Plasma-Oxygen bomb is very easy to set up and mass produce and, while awful and a waste of time in terms of research points, will be devastating if detonated strategically on the station! This part of the guide will assume you have some familiarity with working in Toxins and just highlight the bomb mix, aswell as some general tips when bombing.

 Put Oxygen and Plasma in the two pumps you start with. Make sure to clean your piping inbetween to avoid contamination. Set the Freezer you start with to 85.3 Kelvin and cool Oxygen to that temperature. Upgrade your Heater with [[High-Power_Micro-Laser|Tier 2 Lasers]] and set it to 853 Kelvin and heat Plasma to that temperature. Grab two tanks from the Tank Dispenser, scrub them clean, fill one with Oxygen and the other with Plasma. All done, you got yourself a maxcap! Pick a trigger, put it somewhere and detonate it.
