Hydrogen_Farm

Description
Due too Keen adding Hydrogen to the game & I didn't really care for it not being an option, I added a block which makes Hydrogen to just offset the hydrogen used by my suit! Uses the same textures/models as the Oxygen Farm but makes Hydrogen instead! It does produce Hydrogen at a much lower rate then Oxygen(0.01 vs. 0.03) & has the same components as a Oxygen Farm(With the High Powered version needing an additional 20 Construction Componts, 100 more Computers, & needing 35 Superconductor Conduits) So, just add a few to your base/ship & not worry as much! Mind ya, you can still run out of Hydrogen in your suit but at least you'll have a way to refill it!

Hydrogen Farm:

Large Ship/Station Size: 3x1x1 blocks
Small Ship Size: 15x5x5 Blocks
Power: 3 Kw (was originally 1 Kw)
Output: Hydrogen @ 1.8 L/Min Max (was originally 0.6 L\Min)

High Powered Hydrogen Farm:

Large Ship/Station Size: 3x1x1 blocks
Small Ship Size: 15x5x5 Blocks
Power: 300 Kw (was originally 100 Kw)
Output: Hydrogen @ 18 L/Min Max (was originally 0.6 L\Min)

Please give me credit if you edit/re-upload for this idea! Thanks!

Also, if there is any bugs, please let me know, but please mind ya, I'm very new to this & this is my very first modded block I've made!

Side Notes:

- As of version 01_106_006 it broke my mod until I boosted the hydrogen levels up to 0.03 from 0.01!

- Added Small Ship Version but due too that I'm trying to keep the file size down, the small ship version is still the same size as the large ship/station size with the same production amount & needs the same amount of power!

Known issues:
-You must set ownership of the Hydrogen Farm Block & Hydrogen Tank Block for the Hydrogen to fill the tank! Having the setting of, "Nobody" for either or both of these Blocks will not allow Hydrogen to pass!
-There are a few mods that changes the way Hydrogen works, these mods may cause this mod to not work correctly!

@elementalblaze79 you could take the model from the Small ship megamodpack

@everyone, due too I 1st made this to offset the use of my jetpack, I've since learned how to not use my jetpack(mostly by doing the no jetpack challenge when they added magboots) I can make a bottle of hydrogen last me over 3 IRL days in space & I don't need/use my jetpack on planets(yes, building can be a pain but it feels more real) so this mod will stay on the workshop for all to use but I will not be updating nor adding to it but if you want to update or use any part of this mod just please give me just a small shout out in your mod description!

@Space_engeneerTV, Due too I'm unsure how to model & don't have the time to learn, I used Keen's O2 Farm model file which tells the game how large the model should be which I'm unsure how to edit!

@Quickblood611, Sorry for the late reply but I'm not sure in why it was doing this for you! On my end it works normally for not sure if one of the updates broke it while another fixed it for me without me knowing so the only thing I can say is try loading the mods in a different order!

can you make the small ship block size 3x1x1 too? that big i unusable exept if you build a really big ship

I just left the game running for 6 hours with 2 high powered farms on rotating solar array for station that has no thrusters with 4 tanks. All of the tanks show they are getting 250L a minute but their volume is showing 0 for all of them.

also those numbers are what the hydrogen farms will make at max in direct sunlight, if you don't have them on a solar tracker they will not always produce that amount!

If it needs updating & if I can figure it out then yes but due too I'm not seeing any problems in me nor my friends worlds, I truly don't see an update coming! I wanted a lightweight mod to add hydrogen to offset the jetpack usage back when KEEN changed how the jetpack works, so I won't be adding custom models! It just uses the in-game's version of the O2 Farms model so if they rename that model, I'll have to edit the code a bit! Also, if they change the amount power needed I might change that too! The standard one makes Hydrogen at the same rate as the in-game Oxygen Farm(ie: 0.03 liters per sec) & the High Powered version should be 10 times the amount(ie: 0.3 liters per sec) but use 20 times more power & require more parts, & for all who wants to run a hydrogen powered ship, you'll need more then what you can lift to stay up!

Are you still Updating this mod?

Sadly I'm not sure how to change it from saying, "oxygen output" but I think it's hard coded to say that! It does work on my end still, but the normal Hydrogen Farm does take forever to fill a large ship hydrogen tank! 1 Hydrogen Farm will take roughly over 40 hours to fill one large ship Hydrogen Tank! the Mk II version is 10 times faster & was added to make others a little happier but as I stated above in description, I only added it to offset the Hydrogen use of my jetpack on my Space Engineer! Now I find that I don't even need it due too Mag Boots which are now in the game! But I won't be removing it for as long as people use it then well, have fun!
