A stoopid n00b question...
So I'm standing in front of the survival station, with the good.bot telling me to 'replenish oxygen and hydrogen at the survival station'. I see ice in the inventory of the station. I've repaired the solar panel, so it's got power- I think, not sure how to check that. I can press K to configure either the button panel or the survival station, not sure why I'd want to, though.

There's an option to press F over the button, which does nothing as far as I can tell. I actually have a tank of each resource in my own inventory, and can't figure out how to make use of them, either.

And meanwhile, my oxygen keeps dropping, as the good.bot keeps telling me to replenish, but is mum on how. Please spare me the embarrassment of suffocating in front of the oxygen dispenser. WTF?

So if you look around that starting area, you will see a conduit connecting the O2H2 Generator to the Survival Kit. At the start of the scenario, using the Survival Kit will heal you and replenish your power, but not your O2 or H2 because it is not connected to the O2H2 Generator. This is because part of the connecting conduit is damaged. The solution is to repair the conduit.

You are already holding all the tools and they should be available on your task bar. Select the Welder and walk up to the damaged section of conduit, located just above the stairs that descend into the mining tunnel. Weld the damaged the section and it will tell you what material you need to finish repairing the part.

You can acquire the parts by returning to either the O2H2 Generator or the Survival Kit and opening the container with I, then retrieving parts from storage into your personal inventory. Once you have all the parts, go back and weld until the conveyor is repaired. Once that's done, you can then replenish O2 and H2 at the Survival Kit.

Considering that this is a tutorial for newbs (I'm also a newb here), I think this is poorly explained. I figured this out by watching somebody's YouTube video. (Terrible video by a terrible YouTuber, and I fast-forwarded through much of it until I found the answer to my question.) This task is actually a REPAIR task, but the tutorial doesn't hold your hand through it, or even hint that the reason it isn't working is because something is broken, and you can't mouse-over any parts to even see their names or understand their functions. Or if you can, I haven't figured that out yet.

Alright, back to the tutorial scenario for me. Good luck!

Go to Medic room and hold the "F" key on the keyboard panel to refill ALL

OR

Enter a Oxygen cockpit.

Thanks. I think I'm just fumbling with the interface, learning a new game. After chipping the rocks from around the conveyor between the generator and the survival kit, a panel I've found tells me the O2/H2 generator is incomplete- but not why. I guess I'll figure it out, lol.

Hm. Now the generator is on fire. No idea why. I can see the potential in this game, but I've obviously got to watch some videos or something to figure out the ground rules...

For me, those are only "Premade" world shared by the Devs as example of what I can create in this game.

I did not tried yet cause I go in to create mission worlds and share with SE community.

I recommend to watch Xocliw live on Twitch cause he is one of the Devs and saves all the Live streams to his Twitch and on Keen Youtube so a good place to start.
