[OBSOLETE] Hydrogen Vent/Dump

Description
Obsolete, Watermod V3 no longer uses tanks for bouyancy
With bubbles!!!!
Use this block to drain hydrogen tanks rapidly. Designed for use with Jakaria's Water Mod to assist with reducing submarine buoyancy quickly without having to set up silly opposing thruster sets just to burn H2. This is untested in space but it might work.

Features:
- Large and small grid
- Vanilla model block with LOD and build states
- Drains 1 large H2 tank in about 10-15 seconds at max rate
- Adjustable drain rate via thrust override slider
- Usable through regular ship keybinds depending on orientation*
- Has no flame or damage
- Bubbles!

KEEN BUG WARNING
There is a vanilla bug with Hydrogen Thrusters that causes them to continue burning H2 when thrust override is on even if the block is toggled off. Due to this block technically being an H2 thruster, it is a victim to this bug as well.

At this time DO NOT toggle the vent off while override is on

Please upvote this bug report below so Keen will fix it.

https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/thrust-override-consume-h2-while-the-thuster-block-is-toggled-off

*This is technically a thruster with very low thrust that burns H2. Being a thruster it will automatically work with ship control keybinds so please keep this in mind. It is recommended for most uses to shut off, pick your desired vent rate, and use hotkeys to turn on and off.

This will not collect H2, nor can it pressurize spaces. This does not have any particle effects above water. It still says Oxygen vent on the back because it uses the keen model.

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.

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?
