Feature/Block Request: Gas Valve
Just a 1x1 block similar in function to a conveyor sorter block, but for gases. A flow direction arrow would be present on the outer surface of the block and some sort of interface/wheel to change the flow state. The valve's flow state should be set to either Open, Closed, Directional or Reversed.
If the valve block is set to open then oxygen or hydrogen can flow normally.as if it were a normal conveyor tube.
If the valve block is set to closed then gases cannot flow through through the block. This could be useful for isolating an airlock's Oxygen tank, ensuring that it is empty ready to depress a sealed airlock, but if the need arises that oxygen tank can be easily reconnected to the rest of the ship in case of some emergency.
If the valve block is set to directional then gases can only flow one way through the valve block. This would be useful when you want to keep oxygen/hydrogen tanks on your ship from refilling from the limited ice on your base while dropping off ore or when filling a reserve hydrogen tank for later use.
If the valve block is set to reversed then it operates in the same manner as a valve set to directional, but the direction of flow is reversed. This would be useful in situations where you have a reserve hydrogen tank which is normally kept filled, but you need to access that reserve.
I like this feedback
you can already do this with a conveyor sorter cant you? just set it up to blacklist every item in the game since gases themselves cannot be sorted. I think a better suggestion would be to add gases to the conveyor filter

I 100% agree with this idea, keen you need to implement some sort of way to do gases management, either with a modification of the sorter block or a new block in itself
