getting rid of oxygen

[Candarian]

is there a way to get oxygen out of the system?

not in space(filling a room and open a door is not what i look for)

vet looks like only work if the room is closed(so blowing oxygen out dont work)

oxygen tanks will only work till they are filled
and breathing might work but is way to slow

[Buzzard]

Not sure of why you'd need/want to do it, but I'd build a new O2 tank onto the system somewhere handy, set it to stockpile, let it fill, then grind it down. Repeat as necessary.

Alternatively, build little O2 bottles, fill at your tank, recycle/rebuild the bottles, repeating as desired.

in space/moon/... i can open the door
but on earth planets that isnt an option

Hi, not sure sure I understand your Original Post = ??

I create a "Balance tank" to empty my rooms so Depressurize / Pressurize using a air vent connected on the Oxygen tank and that tank must NOT be connect on the main conveyor line where the O2/H2 Generator is.

= This way your Oxygen Tank is never full especially to have space in the tank to Depressurize/Empty the room.

Manual airlock = the Oxygen tank must not be connected to the O2/H2 Generator :

i use the amont of produced oxygen from the oxygen farm to check if there is light
and then i get rid of the oxygen (in space) by opening the door

that dont work on earth

thats my problem

You don't need to pressurize/depressurize or use air tightness on earth-like planets. Using the air vents and oxygen to breathe so you don't suffocate and die is for non-earth-like planets. The engineer can breathe the air on earth like planets so there's no need to build air tight stations on them.

In space to release the air out of an air tight room all you need to do is either turn the air vent off or set up a button panel button for an air vent to depressurize. Depressurizing removes the oxygen out of an air tight space. It doesn't have anything to do with actual pressure as in force like when you're deep under water in the ocean. It has to do with oxygen it's just called pressurizing and depressurizing. There is no pressure in space.

if ysou really want to get rid of oxygen. makle the room airtight and suck out all the air using 2 vents (and/or a oxygen tank) set the vent in the room to suck out all air and the second vent has to be placed outside to realease the air to the atmosphere. connect everything like it should to be

Sucking out the air from a planet wont work

Wouldn't it be simpler to use a solar panel and check whether it generates any power? Would work anywhere and wouldn't require any O2.

You can fill your oxygen tanks on a planet with air vents set to depressurize (even on alien). Has no effect on the planets atmosphere of course.

@topic think this approach is too complicated, would try to solve it with solar panels like Pembroke suggested.

I still don't know what you are doing so if you have Fun = I will let you work on your creations

the easiest way would be to download it

its working except of earth planets after all

[Dan2D3D]

So in few words = you turn ON the light to empty your room!?

Sorry I still don't know what it is used for but if it is what you needed = it must be a good Engineer challenge.

[Candarian]

that thing check if sun is up (light)
if light = it produce oxygen
if the room is full before 3 min than it turn the light on
if not the oxygen leave through the open door

instead of turning light on u can turn off a generator
or something else

i use a door to get rid of the oxygen now(and its not surprising it dont work on earth)
oxygen tanks would work for a short time but thats not realy satisfying

guess its a non oxygen planet/space vanilla/no dlc light sensor than

[Jack Schitt]

It doesn't work on Earth because it's not needed on Earth. There is already oxygen in the air on Earth planets. So you're not going to get rid of it, especially with an open door because it's going to come in. Oxygen is in the air everywhere. Impossible to get rid of it.

What is sounds like you're trying to do is not possible. You can't remove oxygen from earth planets. You can depressurize rooms as a few replies have explained how to do (that is seems you didn't read or you're ignoring) but why bother removing it from an air tight room on an earth like planet? Your character needs it to breathe.

lol telling me that i didnt read all the posts here is funny


guess i leave it as it is there is wind energie anyway
so who cares if the sun is shining or not

OK, thanks for specifying and I wish you more good work, Engineer!
