Small Grid Small Hydrogen tanks useless to refill bottles? (v1.194 - public test)

[Toshio]

I may be missing something, but I don't see a way to refill bottles with this new smaller tank.
Although the option is there "refill bottles", as there's no large port on this tiny tank, you actually can't put them inside, so I don't see a way to refill them.

Either the button is removed, or increase the size to 1x3x3 and add a large port.

By the way, I've opened a ticket at the support page of KSH:

Maybe you are using a mod....
For small grid there is only one vanilla hydrogen tank and it is 5x5x5 and it accepts bottles.

[Candarian]

he probably tested the new small tanks

Yes, he's on about the one in the public test.

Fine then.....
As such, it is probably by design then and you aren't supposed to use it to refill bottles.

can you input a bottle through a small port to begin with? no? then thats the base game design, doesnt even matter for the tanks at that point if all they have are small ports.

for the OP if you want something with a large port, just build a O2 processor onto that ship in some fashion, then put some ice into it. kinda hokey but it works. otherwise, mod blocks are a thing. im sure someone will make a tank filler storage that pulls O2 and H into it for specifically filling tanks.

Yes, as someone already correctly supposed, I am referring to the public test.

The point is, why put the option in the menu of the control panel if it's not gonna work.
Unless there's a way to make it work, like this answer:

...Although, I do not like the idea.
