			===Scrub or siphon?===
			Much like the age old debate of space the clown or space the <strike>Bridge Officer</strike> assistant, to scrub or siphon your core is a question we engineers ask ourselves daily.<br>
			:::''What or what? I don't know atmospherics and I'm trying to use an atmospherics based engine!''<br>
			:::Siphon pulls every gas.<br>
			:::Scrub pulls selected gases.<br>
			:::Both are settings on your scrubbers. If you don't know what a scrubber is, god help you.<br>
			For some it's a question of personal preference. Others have no idea what they are doing. And others use drought setting because they are lazy. If you need a gas in the core then use scrub and filter your gasses as needed. If you don't need a gas in the core then feel free to siphon. In either case you need to make sure your pipe network can handle the load. '''Scrubbing and siphoning both work at the same speed.'''
