Oxygen Generator on small ships

[Stahe]

Can you have the Oxygen Generator attached right behind the cockpit and be fine, or do you need the tank attached as well?

Nope - the oxygen generator will use ice to produce oxygen at the rate the player sitting in the cockpit is using it.

Ok, so essentially, I just need to attach a conveyor system up to the generator, and I'd be good on oxygen in the ship?

Aye, that's correct. I used this same trick on one of my mining rigs. Feel free to poke at it, see how it's set up:

don't need any convayors to make it work actually. you can just connect it directly to one of the back two inventory ports and it will be fine.

[MajorMurderer]

Or the big one on the bottom like mine. Either way would work just fine.

for small ships, you can have the tank, the generator, or a container with several filled oxygen bottles in it. They all work as far as refilling the cockpit, and you only need one.

by far the easiest way is make a couple extra oxygen bottles at your assembler and transfer them to and from your oxygen generator - when you dock with a connector the generator should also pull the empty bottles to refill them, you you just grab one bottle for every 5 minutes you plan to be away and you should be good to go :D
