Refilling suit Hydrogen/Oxygen.

[Dahak]

How do I do this? I have a hydrogen bottle in my inventory, but no way to activate it or use it to refill my suit.

It automatically refills from a bottle in inventory when it drops below 30%, Just like oxygen. There's no way to trigger a refill manually from a bottle as far as I know. Using a medbay connected to a hydrogen supply (O2 generator, hydrogen tank) will top-up your suit supply regardless of how much you have.

Ah I have to hit 30% before it will fill me. I am always cautious about critical things like fuel so I was getting worried when I went below 50%. Can you use bottles to transfer hydrogen/oxygen between storage tanks?

[ce_cox]

No, They're only useful for filling suit supplies. Even if you could their size is so small as to be hardly worth the trouble. If you want to transfer gases hook up with connectors and set the tanks you want to fill to stockpile and they'll pull from everything else until they're full.

Purpose-built tanker ships should fill a ton of portable bottles. Oxygen can be had from a planet's atmosphere by setting a vent to depressurize to fill the O2 tank or directly into a cockpit. Hydrogen does need ice run through an O2 generator at some point.

I had no idea you could fill an oxygen tank that way, thanks!
