Air Vents not working

[Grizdaberaz]

Airtightness is on, the vents are on, not on depressurize, I have oxygen, And a oxygen generator with ice, I've tried restarting the game, Turning them on and off, turning depressurize on and off, the ship is sealed.

The game is survival that has been up for major update or 2.

The ship is the popular Red ship, built with a blueprint.

Oxygen was working, then there was a pirate incident that cause some major damage, the tubes have been looked over real good, can't seem to get the system working again.

trying sealing a single room, with o2 gen, ice and a vent see how it behaves, once in a while during my complex builds a vent or two will forget what it is and i have to replace it

[Gorbadon]

Sounds like there is a leak somewhere, in that case the vent should show one yellow light.

Just in case look at the terminal page of the vent, it will give you more information about its status (lower right corner of terminal page).

[Grizdaberaz]

No leaks, it's just sitting there green, with no important information to tell me.
Also ruled out there not being enough power

[Gorbadon]

Try to replace the vent (grind it down completely), turning all power off and back on by pressing "Y" in the control seat might help in case of a convejor glitch.

If that does not help I am out of idears unfortunately.

Probably a dumb question, but are the vents connected to oxygen tanks? Had issues with mine until I found the line wasn't connecting my vents and tanks properly.

[Grizdaberaz]

The vent's are connected, about 5 vents, they all refuse to do anything besides sit there with a green light on, I ground a vent down and replaced it, also rebooted the ship.
This is kinda frustrating.
Thanks for the help

Well one green light means they want to presurize the room - but there isnt enough air to do so - so maybe the air tanks themselves are either off or are set to stockpile or empty , Also check the o2 gen - it might be off as well.

also the idea with placing oxy gen filled with ice and with attached air vent to its side port will tell you if its the conveyor thing or somth else,

[Grizdaberaz]

We checked all that, everything was ready, while my friend and I were messing with it it suddenly started working, it was weird, but the problem is solve.

Glad you figured it out. For future reference, there is a mod on the workshop that will show you where air is leaking in (if any is). I have had several occurrences where I think that I have everything airtight, but there's something that is either damaged enough to allow air in, or a block that is just simply not airtight at all.

Also ANY open door, anywhere on grid can cause error. My hanger was closed but bridge door (completely sealed seperate section) was open and that wouldn't allow the green.
