Currently Sabatier unit produces not only methane and water but also incredible amount of electrical power: 300 kilowatts. With that powerful device you don't need any reactors for your fuel production facility because sabatier unit does all of that for you.

Is sabatier reactor really supposed to generate any electricity? According to wikipedia it rather require energy to work: "An optimized system of this design massing 50 kg "is projected to produce 1 kg/day of O2:CH4 propellant ... with a methane purity of 98+% while consuming 700 Watts of electrical power."

that's interesting; I got rid of that but I guess I didn't commit my fixes...? I'll have to see what's going on.
