Air vents won't depressurize! Still!

All my O2 systems work fantastically. Rooms will repressurize, ie my airlock. However, when I start the airlock sequence (just timer blocks), the vent is set to depressurize, lights show as blue, but the room NEVER depressurizes. Sometimes it will if I open an adjacent pressurized room and close the door but even that's hit and miss. Good thing I've just taken to carrying around a couple tanks...

This is happening to me as well but my all my o2 tanks are full and the oxygen has no where to go i was assuming

same. I get all blue lights on vent when I hit depressureize.

I ground down and rebuilt my o2 tanks from scratch in survival just to be sure. Sure enough same problem only now, I don't have any o2 left! I can depressurize if and only if I open the door to an adjacent pressurized room. Doing this makes my o2 vanish into the ether though so still not a viable solution.

Same problem here. Changed conveyor types, put new O2 tanks, nothing seems to work.

Depressurizing does not work for me, too.

vents work fine, its the 02 tanks that still have some kinks in them, small are fine as far as i can tell but large block ones refuse to fill or empty.

edit - when i say small are fine i mean they work on small ships to supply o2 to cockpits, i havnt tried testing further with small ships cos im not really into that whole small ship gone wild thing.

I am having this problem too but I found a work around. The O2 tank will fill if "Stockpile" is turned on. I setup timer blocks to turn on/off O2 tank stockpile and air vent depressurize together. It works but it shouldn't be necessary.

It almost seems as though the devs forgot to code the 'depressurize' function. I've played with different worlds, stockpile doesn't seem to do anything, I have tons of tank space, I've tried with different components on/off (generators, extra tanks) and I've tried with the whole system on one tank, just the oxygen system on one tank. At this point, I'm comfortable saying that it's impossible to depressurize a room without blowing O2 into space.
EDIT: Just tried stockpile again. I've got a ton of tanks for picking up from Oxygen farms, and connected ONE tank DIRECTLY to the vent, with a conveyor tube. Set only it to stockpile... If it works it works...

Please let us know if it does! In the meantime, it's good that I've found some rather massive ice deposits and it's a pretty abundant resource. My ship doesn't have and means to produce O2 other than that. Guess I'll have to engineer a solution. Maybe I'll build an 02 station with farms...
