How do you empty oxygen tanks?
I haven't messed around with oxygen much since the update a while ago but now I cant really figure out how to move it around the ship. The biggest problem I've had is in the title.

place a air vent where ever you want... make sure you have a clear opening towards the empty space and place a door there...

now pressurize the room were your air vent is and just open the door into the void...

enjoy how you've wastet valuable oxygen into the vakuum (repeat as much as needed)

regards

edit:

it is, by the way, possible to use a small ship inside a Hangar to suck up all air from a station... fly to an other station and release the air there...

i already have some kind of oxygen transporter in mind for doing this...

Oddly the response above this is close to what I was gonna suggest, but instead of venting into space you set up another oxygen tank in that room with a vent on it set to depressurize and move all the air from the first tank into that tank

But venting into space when you drop stuff in front of the door is pretty fun too ;D

One way to do this is to have a pressurized room with two air vents. Set one vent's Depressurize setting to off, the other vent to On. On any oxygen tanks you want to drain, set their Stockpile setting to Off, and turn Stockpile on for the rest of the oxygen tanks. One vent will drain all non-stockpiling tanks into the room, and the other vent will pull the oxygen back out, and store it in stockpiling tanks.

I actually implemented an Oxygen Purge on my Deep Space exploration Ship.
I made a small room with a vent and doors as shown bellow.
The oxygen purge is handled from within the ship. Using the new flat armor pieces helps keeping that small.
I did as many I guess try to vend directly to space initially but Air Vents don´t work in space (too bad).
