What mod adds a Hydrogen liquifier?

[Wadusher0]

I've got a variety of advanced nuclear engines running on Liquid Hydrogen, and I have the tools to extract water and electrolyse regular hydrogen from several mods, but I have no clue which mod can liquefy the regular hydrogen. Mind you, I'm nowhere near the point where I actually need this yet - I'm just curious if I can refuel these giant Kerbal Atomics engines by mining and electrolysing enough water, given the right mods.

When you download Kerbal Atomics, it also ships CryoTanks as a dependency. CryoTanks, meanwhile, ships a patch that adds the ability to create liquid hydrogen as well as LH2/O mix from ore in ISRU modules (stock and some modded ones).

So while there are no provisions made to convert gaseous hydrogen, you can still refuel your NTRs that way.

But if you really want to use water electrolysis instead, you could probably patch the electrolyser itself to have a different running mode which outputs liquid hydrogen instead of gaseous hydrogen. It's not hard; you can essentially get away with copypasting a ModuleResourceConverter and changing a handful of mostly self-explanatory fields.

Interstellar Extended adds a modified UniversalStorage wedge part that liquifies hydrogen, among other things. It's the "KspiLiquidficator" part.  If you don't want the whole KSPI mod, you could get away with a local copy of the UniversalLiquidificatorWedge.cfg. as long as you have UniversalStorage for the model.

Thanks for the suggestion. Reason I want the electrolyser is I'd prefer not to drain my ore any more than I already would with just LFO. I already have several mods using it for more than that. If I need an industrial scale liquifier instead of the Universal Storage patch @superdavekerman suggested I'll just patch the CryoTanks electrolyzer.

Well since I'm also using Universal Storage, that would come in very handy. Problem is KSPI is a huge download... but I can live with that. I appreciate the feedback.
