The Hydrogen Tank is a block used to store and distribute Hydrogen. It was introduced to the game in Update 01.105. Its main use however is in conjunction with the Large Hydrogen Thruster and the Small Hydrogen Thruster, where it is used as fuel storage.

It can also be used to refill Hydrogen Bottles by placing it into the tank's inventory and clicking on Refill Bottles, assuming that auto-refill isn't checked.

Indicator

The colored indicators on the tank show at a glance the current hydrogen level inside the tank.

Game version: 1.107

0: H2 level < 25%, 1: 25% <= H2 level < 50%, 2: 50% <= H2 level < 75%, 3: H2 level > 75%, 4: Tank full.

0: H2 level < 25%, 1: 25% <= H2 level < 50%, 2: 50% <= H2 level < 75%, 3: H2 level > 75%, 4: Tank full.

Capacity

Large grid Hydrogen Tank 2,500,000 H2
Small grid Hydrogen Tank 40,000 H2

Programming

Known Issues

  • Unlike cargo containers the actual cargo of the hydrogen tank does not in anyway influence it's mass. Therefore the large block tank will ALWAYS have a mass of 8.1 tons whether its completely full of hydrogen or not.
