I have been playing with out any other mod, and its actualy quite enjoyable. some mods (muluna) makes the carbon monoxide recepe output 100 hydrogen, which destroys the balance of your pretty cool chemistry extension.
I suppose I should try the "solution" you came up with in my other save, but I highly doubt its designed to cope with the over 2k excess hydrogen per minute that is generated constantly..
maybe I should ask the author of muluna for some feedback
