Oxygen control on conveyers
Submitted
Could it be possible to add an oxygen sorting system to the game? Like by being able to whitelist/blacklist oxygen in the conveyor sorter to control where the oxygen goes in the conveyor tubes
I like this feedback
A good suggestion that is long over due.

Can you give an example of when this would be more practical than the current system?

Shared connections wherein you do not want a connected ship draining o2 supplies is one, or to create o2 specific pull requests from attached inventories. I use isolated conveyor systems on o2 tanks and air vents to create air dumps... to store excess air during a life support purge. The only reason they have to be isolated from the rest of the system, is there is no way to effect the flow of gas through the conveyor system, if I could force a one way connection then I wouldn't have to isolate this system from the rest of my venting system... that would have saved me a lot of design hassle actually. I personally can see a few uses for this in stockpiling operations alone.

You can shut off the Tank if you don't want it to fill up.

Or... you could have the conveyor with an option to allow, or disallow passing gas.... to help mitigate the micromanaging necessary to do a task. Seems to me having a conveyor system set up to do what you want it to do automatically, would be more practical than having to go in and turn a few of what may be a dozen tanks every single time you want to change that setting... or you could just change a setting in a single conveyor sorter. If you can't see any benefit in that then... that's on you.
