The geyser station is an installation composed of 3 independent modules, which can be placed as you develop your base and unlock the different technologies. This installation avoids geyser overpressure problems and associated losses.

The 3 independent modules are:

• The geyser room;
  A small room, isolated by a waterlock, with a gas pump and an atmo-sensor. nothing fancy.
  
• The buffer;
  A gas tank used as a buffer/ short time storage, to smooth production highs and lows.
  
• The pressured storage;
  A pressured gas storage, storing the excess gas for when the geyser is dormant. Placed next to the geyser, it can be used to tank the heat produced by the geyser activity.

=== The geyser enters its active phase === 1. The gas comes out of the geyser

2. The gas stays in the geyser room, tanking the heat from the geyser activity.
3. The gas is sucked into the secondary gas network (green arrow), when the pressure of the geyser room reaches 800g/block
4. When the gas reaches the buffer/ gas tank.
   _ a.If the buffer is not full, the gas enters into the buffer and feed the primary network (the base network),
   _ b.If the buffer is full, the gas continues in the secondary network and enters in pressured storage, placed next to the geyser to help to tank the geyser heat.

=== The geyser enters its dormant phase ===

6. The buffer empties
7. The buffer is depleted, the primary network starts to empty
8. The output of the tertiary network (yellowish arrow) is released, starting to feed the primary network
9. The pump in the pressured gas storage start pumping to feed the tertiary network.
