Inventory Inputting/Outputting
The Chemical Tank, when placed in the world, has two slots in its inventory.
The slot with a blue negative sign is the input slot. If you place something that contains gas (e.g. a chemical tank containing Oxygen) into this slot, the chemical tank will drain the item of its content as much as possible.
The slot with a red positive sign is the output slot. If you place something that can store gas (e.g. a chemical tank) into this slot, the chemical tank will fill the item as much as possible.
Configurations
By default, the chemical tank will be set to auto-eject for all substances. The side that the chemical tank will be auto-ejecting is the side with a red dot. This can all be configured, of course, in its Side Config.
Like other machines, chemical tanks' GUI has a dump feature:
- Idle: The chemical tank will not dump anything.
- Dump Excess: The chemical tank will limit it's storage to only 99.5% of its full capacity, while dumping any excess., thus causing the tank to never be full.
- Dump: The chemical tank will continuously dump its entire inventory, attempting to leave none left.
