Hydrogen Cylinder Tank (DISCONTINUED)

crazy to think that these are actually implemented into the vanilla game now

I also prefer just the single block, as I don't want or need the clutter of all the other added tanks in the other mod.

I had no idea this was out, apologies. I am adding you to the description of my tanks, due to your support of my mod :)

i like this mod because this is the only smaller block i was looking for

Hey guys, I'm probably going to be discontinuing this mod due to this awesome mod that renders it obsolete:
OCD - Compact Storage Tanks
OCD - (Balanced) Compact Storage Tanks

I'll leave it on the workshop indefinitely so that I don't bork your saves by removing it.

Can you fix the coloring yet?

I'm ok with the disadvantage of the smaller ones being heavier because that is realistic. If you built 13 tanks that held the same volume as one large tank, they would not weigh the same at all, not even close. The volume of the small tank may be 13.5 times less than the large tank but the surface area (majority of the mass of the cylindrical tank) is only 5.4 times less. So It should have a mass of about 1500kg, not 3 times less than that.

I don't actually need a large tanks worth of hydrogen on my ship because it is not hydrogen powered, I just need it for my jetpack and maybe to fill up the occasional small hydrogen ship. So I don't need to devide up that total volume among a bunch of tanks. However, if I did, the masses should much higher for each tank. It isn't as simple as dividing the mass the way you did the volume. They are not the same.

How is this op? If you build as many of these as you'd need to equal the storage of the large hydrogen tank, then you would end up spending more materials, seems balanced to me. If I made it the same as the o2 tanks there'd be no sense in building them because it would be insanely cheaper to build the large hydrogen tanks.

It just seems like not enough weight and integrity compared to an identical O2 tank. It weighs significantly less than the same size O2 tank. Also, when you make something bigger you generally get an economy of scale so that propotionally it requires less materials as it gets bigger. Say it is 13 times bigger, it will not require 13 times more components and mass. So when you go the other way, as you did in scalling this down, it would weigh 13 times less and use 13 times less compenents. You loose the economy of scale which makes this OP. I really like realism in SE and I can't find a hydrogen tank this size that keeps similar stats as the O2 tank.

I based the resources on the large hydrogen tank instead. So it roughly uses the same % of components vs capacity of the larger tank. (Though it still uses mote components so it's more efficient to build the larger tanks.)

If I would've based it on the oxygen tank it would have been too cost prohibitive to build these vs the large tank. You normally only build 1 or 2 oxygen tanks but need dozens of these to be viable.
