Suit Oxygen Refilling HELP

[SirDurr]

I just started playing Space Engineers after quite a long break from it to let updates pool up so that i can jump back in with a whole new Space Engineers experience, but now that i'm back the Oxygen update perplexes me, i cannot for the life of me figure out how to refill my suit with Oxygen. I was wondering if someone out there could give some insight on this subject?

You need a medical room connected to an oxygen tank or oxygen generator (with conveyors)

I assume you have an oxygen generator with ice and Oxygen storage tank connected up. If you have you med bay piped up to the oxygen storage and generator you can refill there. You can also refile your suit using a cockpit (inclosed model). The other way is to built some oxygen bottles, place them in the oxygen storage tank and set it to auto fill. Once they show 100% grab one (or more) and keep it in your inventory, then your suit gets down to 30% oxygen it till refill from the bottle (taking nearly half). Then the bottle is empy dump it back on the oxygen storage for it to be refilled.

Hm, thanks guys! This was really helpful!

Is it possible for a room to be too big to pressurize? I have one almost idential to another the main differene is size and the big one's vents stay yellow.

probably, there are probably step lmits in the calculations they use to determine closed spaces so an open hole into space at 1,1,1 will not lead to it checking if there is a wall at 10000,563249,-9857 and all the spaces inbetween up to the world limit size. you'd have to experiment to see what the limit is and i'm assuming each vent checks seperately using its own location in the grid as the origin or the space in front of it

Thanks, well it is three rooms, 2 smaller rooms and a hallway connected to a large room, I've been bricking them off and The 2 rooms are ok so it's in the big room or the hall connecting them. I't full of angles and angled glass roofs, so I'll be a while finding the leaks I guess.

Hey OP
The best way to top up your energy and oxygen is to have an enclosed cockpit, connect it to your conveyor with your oxygen, and sit in the cockpit for a while. Another good option if you have the inventory space is to carry cans of oxygen around but they are about 150 L.

Ok I have basic answer for you. In your assembler you can produce an oxygen tank. Take that and put it in an oxygen generator, or oxygen tank. make sure the box for the oxygen tank under the control panel commands, is set to stockpile and that the auto refill box is checked.

Once the small oxygen tank is filled, pick it back up, if your suit oxygen is down to 30% or less, it will auto refill from the small oxygen tank. Normally at 30% suit oxygen, it will require about 42% of the small oxygen tanks supply. Meaning you can refill from the small oxygen tank at least twice.

Next, lets start with a station or large ship setup. Build an oxygen generator someplace. Make sure that you can connect conveyors to it. Find a spot where you can put your conveyor in the floor. Next build a closed cockpit on top of it. The bottom of the large ship or station cockpit has a large conveyor connection on the bottom of it only.

I use this setup near a medical bay as a form of a hyperbaric chamber. As it will auto refill suit oxygen directly without needing a small oxygen tank.

Next lets look at small ship setup. Now I like this part even more. As KEEN was nice enough to actually make an oxygen generator and oxygen tank just for small ships. 1 small drawback. To use the small ship oxygen tank correctly requires a conveyor between them. And the personal oxygen tank will not work with the tiny small ship conveyors. So you have to also use a mid-sized cargo container attached to the big small ship conveyor that is between the oxygen generator and the small ship oxygen tank.

Now there is an option here. Build only the oxygen generator, leaving the large connector area open someplace, so you can drop personal oxygen tanks directly into it for filling.

Like the station / large ship oxygen set up, if you get into the small ship cockpit, and it's got it's 2 small conveyor connectors connected to the small ship oxygen generator, then your suit should also auto refill your suits oxygen supply without requiring having a personal oxygen tank.

Now there is 1 more area to explain. This only works for large ships or stations. Required parts for this are 2 oxygen farms, 1 large oxygen tank, at least 2 conveyors, 1 reactor or battery charged for power, and a closed large ship / station cockpit. Make sure that the oxygen farms are facing the sun as much as possible. As they use the sun to generate oxygen. But it's just barely enough for 1 space engineer to survive on. Set the large ship / station oxygen tank to stockpile and make sure the cockpits bottom is connected to the conveyors. As it requires that connector to function.

The more green lights on the 2 oxygen farms you have showing, the more oxygen they produce. WARNING, DO NOT PLACE OXYGEN FARMS NEXT TO EACH OTHER! For some strange reason the one closest to the sun blocks the sun from reaching the other. Keep at least 1 block distance between them for better function.

this is not a basic answer - but it is a good one.

Well I thought it was basic. To me anyways. LOL

Sorry.

[Keyboard Wario]

it was quite helpful for me, since I'm about to set up my airlocks for a ship that is getting close to 40 million kg

Hydrogen is not resupplying... Have tried Med station, Have bottles (Multiple) in my inventory on my suit, have jumped into my cockpits of several ships, and all are not working...
