Can someone tell me how to efficiently fill up my air tank?

thanks.

You can use oxite in the furnace, but it contains 10% N2, so you need to add an N2 Filter to your space suit.

Furnace > Pipe > Pressure Regulator > Pipe > Canister Holder
Set the Pressure Regulator to e.g. 5 MPa
Do not ignite the Furnace

You may want to add some valves and vents to ventilate the whole system after use - but the more pipes you use, the more gas you lose

[Wgairborne]

yeah, because I'm on the space map, my air tank is out of oxygen, so now i'm stuck in my base. ;-; I'll try what your saying

[Yuccasu]

Much easier is
Active Vent > Pipe > Canister Holder
Active Vent direction has to be "inside" (red, not blue)
You have to hold oxite in your hand - you need sunlight to melt it

another question, with UPnP enabled, I still can't play with my friend. why?

You usually want to be able to push a good amount... so I make a setup like this: "Source" (wether you go the active vent, way or from a tank, or the furnace) -> volume pump -> pressure regulator (set to 8000kPa) - > Canister holder. When you want to fill up just start both the pump (full power) and the pressure regulator. Make sure to stay nearby, it won't take long. Make sure you turn off the volume pump or it'll eventually overpressurise the pipe between it and the pressure regulator. This way it's pretty safe and you can pressurise your canisters to a usable but safe level.

Nice, but could you also answer by previous question?

Yea... when you spawn you have a portable air tank... place your air tank in the yellow and red slot and boom you have a full tank that will last you another 20 or so hours

I know this, however I used up this oxygen for my base.

Unless you can recover that O2 from your base you are boned. You could build an active vent and have it feed into a cannister storage to allow you to refill your tank.

I always have a full portable backup tank of O2 for exactly this reason.

[Wgairborne]

yeah, I noticed I was permanently stuck, so I just spawned in an air tank, as I had a lot of progress clocked in.

This was a bad idea tbh; BUT next time remember that there's a better way to oxygenate your base: Move your Arc Furnance Indoors, along with your Portable Air Scrubber and burn Oxite in it, then use the portable air scrubber to purify out the gases from the furnace itself leaving only breathable oxygen.

Huh, never knew you could do this. Good to know for next time.

Although Oxite quickly evaporates due to being at room tempeture. The idea is NOT to get 100% Oxygen and yet NOT have unbreathable contaminates in your air. This means you need atleast 10% of SOMETHING that doesn't kill people in that breathable 90% o2 - 90% o2 allows you to have SMALL sparks indoors without exploding - however you will want to watch the pressure overall as well.


Btw minerals in your mining belt don't "melt".

Only thing I would advise is becareful, keep all the oxides except the one you are melting in your mining belt.

The first time I did this I dumped a bunch of 50 oxide piles on the floor and melted the first one in the arc furnace, which in turn heated up the room and caused them all to evaporate at once. I ended up blowing out the walls of my base and having one of the oxide rocks turn into a projectile and rip my suit open.
