Stationeers: Phase Change Mechanics

In this video I will attempt to talk about phase changes with the gases. What it is, how to search them, what to expect, and some experiments to hopefully show what happens as I mess with N2O by compressing it, moving it around, and at the end a simple setup for how to clean your base of pesky liquid water without contaminating any existing liquid pipe network. Long video but hopefully I have put this information in a way that it can help you or come back and refer to it at a later point.
