'''Hot & Cold loops'''

Because of how gas mixtures behave on SS13, instead of using 2 Nitrogen canisters on each loop, you can try the following setup:
* 1 Canister on the hot loop: This will ensure that the pressure will remain reasonable and that the pump won't jam.
* 2 to 3 Canisters on the cold loop: The cols loop is exposed to space temperature and will contract a lot, allowing you to add more gas to it.

'''SMES Setup'''

Due to how the TEG power output fluctuates over time, you can either baby-sit the SMES charging rates, or use a staggered charging profile, on MiniStation SMES are prioritised from left to right, so an optimal setup can be achieved by setting the charge rates (from left to right) to: 120000, 60000 and 30000. This will ensure that, for any TEG output over 30K, we will always have at least one SMES charging, with priority given to the leftmost SMES.

This charging setup means that we have charging at:
* 30k (0-0-1)
* 60k (0-1-0)
* 90k (0-1-1)
* 120k (1-0-0)
* 150k (1-0-1)
* 180k (1-1-0)
* 210k (1-1-1)

Which covers the entire output rampdown of the TEG.
