Hydrogen Tank
Contents
Overview
The Hydrogen Tank is a block used to store and distribute Hydrogen. Its main use however is in conjunction with the Large Hydrogen Thruster and the Small Hydrogen Thruster, where it is used as fuel.
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.
Usage
The hydrogen can be produced from Ice much the same as Oxygen inside Oxygen Generators. The hydogen tank must be directly connected via Conveyor blocks in order to receive hydrogen from the generator, and also to send the fuel to the hydrogen thrusters.
Indicator
The colored indicators on the tank show at a glance the current hydrogen level inside the tank.

Known Issues
- Unlike cargo containers the actual cargo of the hydrogen tank does not in any way 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.
