Button to refill oxygen bottle from O2 tank.
Is it possible to make a panel button that does the same as clicking the "refill bottles" button in the O2 tank control panel window? Or alternatively to make the O2 tank to autofill the bottles?

Specifically, I have an airlock with an O2 tank, an air vent, and a cargo container, all connected together but *not* linked to the rest of the ship's conveyor system so that the O2 tank can act properly both as a source and sink of O2 when pressurizing and depressurizing the airlock. The cargo container allows me to put O2 bottles into the O2 tank and then refill them. All working ok except that to refill the bottles I have to manually open control panel, scroll to the O2 tank and select it, and then click the "refille bottles" button there. Would be much more convenient if I could tie a button panel command to do that or make the O2 tank auto-refill.

Linking the cargo container to the O2 generator would make auto-refill possible, but I don't like that because then I'd need a separate conveyor link across the ship and that'd be ugly, and anyway the O2 tank has plenty of perfectly good O2 without having to melt any more ice...

There should be a tick box to set O2 tanks to auto fill any o2 bottles. From memory it was just below the sockpile tick box.

Now I feel so dumb. :steamfacepalm:

Scroll down the O2 tank control panel and there it indeed is, the auto-refill check box...

Thanks!
