Hydrogen Thrusters Not Working
I built a ship, what I've already come here about, but this time it's about my thrusters. None of my hydrogen thrusters seem to be receiving hydrogen, even though all of them are hooked up to my hydrogen tanks, but they still don't seem to work, how can I get them working?

Edit: I tested it and none of my creations hydrogen engines are working

If the thrusters are turned on, all of the tubing green and the tanks are filled they should definitely work. Is this small grid or large grid?

Maybe your hydrogen tanks are set to "stockpile"? That'll prevent operation of your hydrogen thrusters.

...and don't forget the O2/H2 Generator loaded with ice and adequately powered.

Stockpile is off for both of my tanks

Yup, thrusters on, green tubes, tanks at 100%, stockpile off, power on

Got that too

Asuming you are talking of the VTOL build from your other discussion, are you shure you are using advanced rotors?

Normal rotors don't have conveyor ports and will only transfer power.

Other than that check your conveyor network, there could be a dissconect or a not fully welded block cutting of thrusters from the tanks.

Or could it be...dare I say?...a glitch? When thing should work and they don't, always first try exiting completely out of SE and restarting.

Yes I am 100% sure

Yup, cause we all know SE has no glitches

It's been known to happen every once in a great while.

Powering off/on?
Admin mode copy/pasting?
Kicking it a bunch of times?

You could blueprint it and publish that and someone here can maybe look at it.

That is if they opt in to the new extra EULA, if not they wont be able to make a BP... gotta love it.

Seems fairly simple, if none of your creations hydrogen thrusters(right?) are working I can only assume its one or two things. You have somehow borked SE so hydrogen thrusters dont work or you are putting everything on backwards and sideways or something but seeing the previous troubleshooting #1 seems much more likely.

Usually people ask to get the BP but with the new update and all that going in right now is perhaps not the best time for that.
