Having one for oxygen would be amazing for ballast control in Watermod 3.0!

need tank ballast for deep sea subs. Been trying for a while in 3.0 to make a traditional ballast work.

Water mod no longer uses tanks for buoyancy, but they can be used for ballast. This is still useful.

The tanks work in reverse, this mod is still usable. More so now that you can put them facing downwards, even with minimal thrust it's benificial. right now the only way to reduce tanks is to fire equal thrusters in both directions which looks just silly on a submarine.

not obsolete! i still use water 2.0. i like the tanks much better. :)

Yea, you don't need tanks to show off how boyant you are! You can be as boy as you wanna be without tanks now. :O :O

Hydrogen, not Hydrodgen. I spent like 3 weeks searching for this mod, only to find that it was spelt wrong

Finally found this mod for my submarine and now i can finally get my build right. for some reason the thrust override hotbar controls arent working but the C key works well for now

I legit wished it could drain O2. It's easier and faster than processing Hydrogen.
Mike Dude  [author] 22 Mar, 2021 @ 4:49pm 
This is in SE code definition a hydrogen engine. It doesn't do O2 (not enough demand for me to make that, but technically you could use a different gas as fuel). I haven't change anything on how it works on the toolbar. It should functionally be the same as any other H2 engine.

Does this work to drain oxygen too?

Hi, the thruster over ride is not working when you pull it down in a comand seat also the hydro vents always throw out hydrogen
Frentru 27 Dec, 2020 @ 5:55pm 
Is there a way to make a variant of this that can also dump O2? I'm running a server that has the whole hydrogen system rebalanced so generating hydrogen is too power intense to do on demand for subs, but I can use oxygen the same way.

Terry can you send me a link to that mod?
Mike Dude  [author] 19 Nov, 2020 @ 12:16pm 
I'll look into that too and add it as a dependency if it works well until keen fixes this dumb bug. They caused this by fixing a bug that was the opposite problem.

There is a mod that stops h2 thrusters from burning h2 when not being used, i guess i will have to test with that :D
Mike Dude  [author] 19 Nov, 2020 @ 11:59am 
Ok I did some more testing and figured out what the problem is. It is actually a Keen bug, because vanilla H2 thrusters do the exact same thing. My mod only makes it more more noticeable because it drains so quickly. The only thing we can do is to upvote this bug report so Keen considers fixing it. I'll also put a disclaimer and a link to it in the description.

As Karmoq said i had the same issue and to remove them from my server :-( Im running torch if that helps.
De/Code 9 Nov, 2020 @ 7:41am 
Yay Finally, i have been asking for someone to make this :)
Mike Dude  [author] 8 Nov, 2020 @ 8:21am 
Strange, I'm using them on my survival server and haven't seen that issue. It should operate no differently than a hydrogen thruster with regards to fuel consumption.
Karmoq 8 Nov, 2020 @ 7:31am 
They seem bugged to me. I put them on thrust override, and when I turn them off they still burn hydrogen

thanks, this really worked for me
Mike Dude  [author] 1 Nov, 2020 @ 8:47pm 
Its most useful for submarines that need to descend really quickly with Water Mod. Not so useful anywhere else.
Mask of Humble 1 Nov, 2020 @ 8:10pm 
Not sure why but eh, guess someone might need this ._/.
Mike Dude  [author] 1 Nov, 2020 @ 5:05pm 
No, I set it to do 0 damage.
Nioreux 1 Nov, 2020 @ 4:32pm 
Can it cause damage as its a thruster?
R-TEAM 30 Oct, 2020 @ 7:25am 
would be nice to have an extra model ..... ;) but nice mod
