crushed after a fuel purge

[GeoCrusader]

So i have no issue getting to the fuel purges but some times i get crushed even though i should be safe, anything i can do to stop this?

Do them first, when the Roustabout tug is over 50,000 kg. Don't detach them, don't take apart the rest of the ship until they're done.

Atlas thrusters are starting to feel like a newb initiation rite or something lol

couldnt have said it better than Takovacs' advice

ill do that, i used a tether to prevent myself being crushed from the one i was trapped in

new issue, im on a ship with a big fuel tank in the middle but i cant puzzle how to get it out of its cage when i cant cut t3 density yet, id prefer to get rid of it first so i dont accidentally blow it up later

cut the aluminum frame away from the bits you cannot get through. As long as you are reasonably careful you should be able to extract the tank and then deal with the nanocrystal framwork + friends.

Clear the rear reactor and cryo unit rooms. you'll have more space at the rear of the bay.
That back end of the fuel tank is surrounded by and aluminum square, burn the aluminum square at the back of the tank with the slicer or pinpoint cutter. Make sure to have pulled the fuel flush switch. The tank should then be able to get pulled towards the back of the bay and out of it's chassis. Make sure to tether or grapple it by center mass so the angle of the tank doesnt change as it is pulled or it will get stuck in there.

Edit: a vid for the visual learners such as myself
here's a link to a short vid that shows the procedure. The only thing I would do different is use the slicer instead of the pinpoint cut.

well now i need to learn t2 reactors because i flubbed the tutorial taking advantage of the no time limit and basically just cut everything out but the engine coolant and reactor which i think threw all into the barge together instead of separating because with no power i couldn't separate them XD. I still ended with a t5 despite losing some processing materials from doing it this way
