Water Mod
Obvious BUG - Air Vent collect Oxygen from Water.
Sealed underwater room can collect air from airvent inside water
Underwater rooms/base can have pressure and you can walk with helmet open (in water).

Disable AirVent if is under water.
Disable water in Air volume (room pressure)

Air Vents use same technology fish gills use?

Looks like that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

so your bug is that; in a pressurised room filled with air, the vent is able to draw air from it?
btw, water graphics in a pressurised space underwater is just a thing now, saves the mod having to remove the graphic for every pressurised space.

The bug is that i can Gain air from sumberged AirVent (inside) water on Alien planet (low oxygen atmo).

I add airvent to piston head and i can fill bottle if piston is in air or extended in water.
Airwent may be auto disabled if is in water volume.

You know water has oxygen in it, right?

You know that for extracting O2 from H2O is process known as electrolysis?

H2/O2 Generator is doing that.
Bug is that submerged AirVent can fill room with Air (O2). == BUG

Electrolysis is not the only way to get O2 from H20. If it was so then explain how fish are able to accomplish such a feat.

Water is a very useful solvent, so much so it's called a universal solvent. It typically contains a variety of dissolved gasses. In the case of ocean water, about 8 mg/L of O2. Lets assume this is actually fresh water to make the next example far more simple. In this case, 8 mg/L at 20C is roughly 8 mL/L of O2. To fill a large O2 tank, you would need to filter over 100,000,000 L of water.

Imagine an American football field, a pool that size and about 5 meters deep worth of water. So while you won't get a lot of O2 this way, it's not out of the realm of impossibility. Also, there's going to be limits on what this mod can achieve. The fact it even works so well is a feat of it's own.

i love how this went from a bug report to arguing how fish work

humm.. Lucifer69 needs to get his facts right. instead of making them up on the fly. 1ml of water has 0.889mg of oxygen which = 0.000889 ml with a density of 1. so it takes 10000ml of water to make 1ml of oxygen. which is only 10 liters of water. which is roughly 2.6 gallons of water in US measurements. your typical diving tank pressurized to 3000 psi, which equals about 80 cubic feet per tank, which btw and you can look thus up yourself, is equal to about a telephone booth of air. NOT VERY MUCH. the total weight of this air is about 6.5 pounds. a phone booth holds about 63 cubic feet which is 471.273 gallons. with a little math, we can say that it would take about 181.25 gallons of water to fill a scuba tank of air. which is just about 1/4 of a phone booth. NOT A FOOTBALL FIELD 5 meters TALL. there is a LOT more air in water than you think. please check me..

also Lucifer69, salt water makeup is
Oxygen: 86%
Hydrogen: 11%
Chlorine: 2%
Sodium: 1%
Magnesium: 1%
Sulfur: 0.1%
Calcium: 0.04%
Potassium: 0.04%
Bromine: 0.007%
Carbon: 0.003%

which btw water makeup of oxygen to hydrogen is about 86% of it is oxygen by volume. because oxygen molicule is much more dense than hydrogen.. this is why hydrogen FLOATS.. we can see this if we look at the perodic table to see the Moll weight of each element..

oxygen = 15.999 u
hydrogen = 1.00784 u

which you can likely see if you know any math at all, H + 2(o) becomes 1.00784 + 31.998, so as you an see about 86% of the total weight of water is OXYGEN!!!! which is the SAME for SALT WATER.

this is because SALT DISOLVES INTO WATER, thus it DILUTES it, its additive to its total volume, it does not subtract from the volume of water or the oxygen that its made of.
