BallastTanks

Description
Tanks that fill with "water" to help change the weight of a grid.

To use, put down a "Ballast Tank". It will fill with water, up to the O2 level. For example, 70% O2 means 30% full with water.

You can fill and empty the O2 tank as normal. The water will fill and empty into the tank as required

Small grid only

Why is it small grid only ;-;

I made a mod that dumps H2 from tanks, I could probably make additional blocks that can dump O2 as well. https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2271521883

Quixsilcon, been doing that with apposing oxygen thrusters (mod) on override so they use up the oxygen and cancel out the force. Turn the ox thrusters on to vent. could do the same with hydrogen thrusters without mods.

It would be better if there was a mod that used lots of oxygen/hydrogen had a bubble effect instead of flame and zero thrust.

if it changes the weight of a grid it will work with the new water mod, only problem is you would need both this and oxygen/hydrogen tanks, the tanks to provide buyancy, and this to provide change in weight to allow diving. A good solution would be a mod with the ability to vent gas form tanks.someone lmk if that exists
