I started building a hydrogen powered rocket, but realized a fatal flaw in my plan: the rocket relies on a hydrogen tank and is not connected to anything. Therefore, there is no way of filling the tank.
I have a bunch of hydrogen bottles though. Is it possible to fill the tank using the bottles? I placed them inside, but that had no effect.
To charge your suit in Space Engineers, go to a medical room's terminal and hold T
Obviously, you have to be producing energy in order to charge it.
Your suit will also charge while you are sitting in the cockpit or any of its variants or passenger seats of a powered ship or station.
To disable the fog, you need to go to
Steam\SteamApps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Effects2
and find the file MyEffectBase.fxh.
Open this file with any text editor you have installed, e.g. Notepad or Notepad++ etc.
Find the following code:
float4 CalculateFogLinear(float3 sourceColor, float distance, float backgroundBlend)
{
float fogBlend = saturate((distance - FogDistanceNear) / (FogDistanceFar - FogDistanceNear));
return float4(FogColor, fogBlend * FogMultiplier);
// This is no hack, it's just interpolator based on background blend and fog blend, it's pretty complicated, but right
float i = (backgroundBlend * (fogBlend + backgroundBlend - 2) + 1) * FogMultiplier;
//return lerp(sourceColor.xyz, FogColor, i);
return float4(FogColor, i);
}
Replace this code with:
float4 CalculateFogLinear(float3 sourceColor, float distance, float backgroundBlend)
{
return float4(FogColor, 0.0f);
}
Then open a command window in this directory by right clicking into explorer with shift held down and enter the following command:
del /s *.fxo
This will force the game to recompile all shaders. When you launch the game, your fog will be disabled:
If the game patches via Steam, you probably need to do it again, but this is only until the devs add an option to disable the fog in the settings.

I don't think you can fill a hydrogen tank with bottles, the intended use is that you fill the bottles with the tank. As far as I know, hydrogen and oxygen can only be tranferred using conveyors. You could consider using another ship to tow your ship to a connector on the base, that's probably the easiest solution. You could also fill a tank and ferry it between to get your ship off the ground, but you'll need power on both grids to connect them with connectors or merge blocks.
