How can I actually see how full the hydrogen tank is? This is always displayed with 0/total quantity in the station’s inventory. Apparently it seems to be full, because hydrogen is only produced again (the ice decreases) when I open a room into space. Is this just a bug or is it intentional? Or is there a possibility to display the filling level in percent or absolute?

    The see the actual level of hydrogen in a tank, you go the the control meny(K-menu on PC), not the Inventory meny. In the lower right corner it should say how many Liters it’s filled, same as for Energy stored in battery.

    You can also see how how many LEDs are lit up, for 25, 50, 75 100% on the outside of the tank.

    The only thing that goes in the Inventory of a hydrogen tank is the Hydrogen bottles for refilling

    I’m not really sure, but I don’t think your tank is full, and the 0/total rating is actually accurate.

    I remember tanks being weird when I first started using them, and I think maybe you need to set the tanks settings to “stockpile” or something like that, to generate hydrogen constantly, otherwise the h2o2 generator is only breaking the ice when it needs more oxygen (when you lose some by opening doors), and the hydrogen is just wasted somehow.

    Unless you have a hydrogen engine onboard somewhere that is on but usually not running because it doesn’t get enough fuel from your h2o2 generator

    Again, sorry I can’t help more, been a while since I’ve played and never full got the hang of hydrogen anyway

      Thanks for that tidbit of info. I didn’t know H2/O2 generators wasted Ice to create O2 when H2 is full.

      I’ll bear that in mind
