VCZ Gas Tanks

Description
UPDATE!
The latest update includes a lot more variants of the blocks. There are still more to come in future updates!
All blocks are following this naming norm:
VCZ Oxygen Tank S1a
In the above example the first part should be clear - my tag for all my mods and the name of the block.
The second part is how you can diferentiate the different blocks:
S - denotes the size of the block. Additional description of the different sizes and their properies can be found further bellow.
1 - denotes a different configuration i.e. different number of conveyor ports or in different places.
a - denotes different visual styles. They are just for convinience so that your gas tanks don't look out of place.


A set of Oxygen and Hydrogen tanks for small and large ships. All are based off of the vanilla Oxygen tanks. With a bit less capacity for gas, they provide more connection options with their two additional ports on the back side.

I tried to remove all inventory space as I don't believe there should be any space in a gas tank to put additional bottles. Unfortunately they were still showing up in the inventory menu. Since I haven't figured out a way to remove them from the menu I added small storage so they can take 1 (2 for large ship) bottle.

Sizes:
XS - 1x1x1
S - 1x1x2
M - currently not available (probably 2x3x3)
L - currently not available (probably 3x3x5)

Build Times:
Large ship:
XS - 25s
S - 35s
M - currently not available
L - currently not available

Small ship:
XS - 10s
S - 15s
M - currently not available
L - currently not available


I will update this information after I have made the rest of the new blocks.

Large ship/Station:
Steel Plate - 50
Construction Component - 40
Large Tube - 30
Small Tube - 40
Computer - 10

Small ship:
Steel Plate - 10
Construction Component - 8
Large Tube - 4
Small Tube - 2
Computer - 2


Standby Power Consumption - 1W (same as Vanilla)
Operational Power Consumption - 1kW (same as Vanilla)

Inventory Volume:
I will update this information after I have made the rest of the new blocks.
- 120l for small ship (1 gas bottle)
- 240l for large ship (3 gas bottles)

Capacity:
I will update this information after I have made the rest of the new blocks.
Large ship/Station - 90000 (Vanila = 100000 for the Oxygen tank)
Small ship - 5500 (Vanila = 50000 for the Oxygen tank)


- Add 3x3x5 version of both tanks for small ships.
- Small changes to the overall design. Nothing drastic and all functionality will remain the same.

Included in my VCZ Small Ship Master Pack

Comments and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.


Released:
VCZ Medium Conveyor Expansion
VCZ Small Ship Assembler (3x3x5)
VCZ Small Ship Refinery (3x3x5)
VCZ Small Ship Medium Reactor (1x3x3)
VCZ Small Ship Medical Station (1x3x2)

Planned:
[Not Started] VCZ Small Ship Medium Reactor 2 (2x3x3) - similar to the above but slightly bigger and more powerful. May not make it, will see how the first one goes.
[Not Started] Curved Conveyor Sorters - I have an idea to make curved sorters for large and small ships.

Thanks, and if the emissives are the worst issue these will give me, I think I'll manage ;)

Sure, but you should be aware of a small bug I haven't gotten around to fixing. All emissives are named Emissive_1 to Emissive_4. Since the textures and models update the new naming convention is to start from 0 to 3. Or maybe it was the other way around?
Anyway, because of that it will never show all 4 emissives lit up regardless of how full it is.

Do you mind if I use one or two of the models in a mod I'm working on? You'll get credit of course.

Cool, Thanks for responding :lunar2019grinningpig:

They probably still work just fine. There is nothing complicated in them. I haven't had time to update them yet. A while back I started refreshing and updating some of my older mods but I haven't gotten to these yet.
There is one thing I know isn't working perfectly - the emissive lights showing capacity. Full is 3 lights instead of all 4 but otherwise they should be OK.

Hey, Vicizlat, Is this working still?
I used to love the smaller tanks when I last played over a year ago.

Probably a mistake that slipped in without me noticing it. I'll fix it when I can.
