[Suggestion] Bottle/tank fill and empty block
I would love to have a block/function in game where you can refill your oxygen or hydrogen bottle, but also one to empty it.
And maybe make a small handheld tank tool to transfer more oxygen/hydrogen.
Mostly because I want to be able to refill my small grid drone/missile/ship without needing a big connector.

You have a new block, the Gas Transfer block.
You switch modes from oxygen/hydrogen (maybe both) and another option for intake (drains bottles) our supplier (fill bottles.)
If you put the current bottle item in, it will fill or drain them. Just like the current system.
There is also a new hand held tool called the gas tank. Tier one being small, tier two being medium (roughly the amount of a small grid small hydrogen tank) and tier three being large.
Use the tool on the block will either fill the tank or empty the tank from or into the system.
The "ammo" of this tool is the gas fill level.
Optional: make it useable on other items as well, for example to jump start your hydrogen engine.

Hey! I just came across a use case for this too.
I was trying to figure out if i could use my hydrogen bottles to fill up a small block hydrogen tank, since i made a tiny 3x3x5 combat drone that can navigate hallways. I dont like the idea of having to weld up and grind down a connector every time i need to top it off.
Since we can already put bottles in the tank blocks, why not just have an option to empty them? we probably don't even need a new block, just a feature on existing blocks. Like a rightclick option or a single inventory spot dedicated to just emptying them.
I have also been in the situation where ive needed to jump a hydrogen engine too. its painful getting that first base up and running.
