Pretty sure I've been able to use them just fine in my builds (except for a couple of times where they were broken by patches in the past. Question is, what are you trying to do with them?

It may be worth mentioning that oxygen and hydrogen bottles can't pass through small conveyors. You need the h2/o2 generators connected to large conveyors to move bottles in and out of them.

anything like i cant evern run a thruster off them. never been able to use them like i can other small connectors. its like they jsut dont work

I disagree with Baratheon79. I don't think the small ports ever worked for anybody. I checked it now and they don't respond to the inventory commands.

O2/H2 Generator have 3 ports : 1 Large and 2 Small ports

Small ports are used for :

Hydro thrusters will work on these if no tanks on the ship because the O2/H2 Gen. will refill the thank first and thrusters may not work properly while the Gen. is busy.

I also use to share oxygen with other cockpits to refil Engineer suit.

How long ago was that Dan? Because I have not ever been able to get them to work, it's like there just there for show.

I am corrected. The ports still don't respond to inventory but they do support thrusters.

I'm updating my ships these days and that is what I do => add one O2/H2 Gen. + 2 Hydros on it, well some I had to add 2 to 4 small conveyors before adding the Hydro Thrusters.

Same for my Race cars = 2 Hydros + 4 conveyors connected to the Small ports on the O2/H2 Gen.

Maybe share the ship or some screenshots!

I will have to test it out more later. I have tried using them and they just didn't seam to work for me so I quit using them.

Do a quick test on new.

Test with only 2 hydros on 1 Gen. + Nuc. Reactor on a few blocks

hmm... its working totaly flawlessly... i know i couldnt get these to work at all in the past, so i jsut gave up on them
Dan2D3D  [developer] Aug 27, 2018 @ 3:56pm 
Don't gave up Engineer!

It is the game <> Must find the solution, the working way!

And if it's not working => Must redo better till you find the solution. :fix:

Are you trying to move bottles theough them?
Bottles need a large port.
You can move ice through small ports though.

Not entirely sure why you are asking me that question...

This thread about the small ports on the small oxygen generator. I never mentioned bottles and bottles won't go through the small ports anyway.

I thought the small ports were completely broken. I was (mostly) wrong. They work as they should with the exception that they don't have a yellow border on them where you an interact with inventory.

Did you have connected everything correct? When i slap stuff on those ports everything runs as it suppossed to do
ShadedMJ Aug 28, 2018 @ 11:12am 
@M.Red : If that was meant for me, here's my reply. If not meant for me, please ignore.

I tried using the small ports on the oxygen generator maybe or more a year ago. At the time they seemed bugged and I thought there was a Keen bug report about it. I engineered without them after that point. I still think they are a little bugged since my engineer cannot access inventory through them, but other small ports work fine.
