Hydrogen airship block
Someone had this feedback a while back (archived) and I find myself liking the idea more as I think about it. https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers2/pc/topic/53808-flying-castles-airship-bases-air-buoyancy
Essentially, this would be fairly simple to do without doing a ton of air buoyancy logic though. Create a (very large) block that is your hydrogen bag (very explody to weapon fire, oh the humanity). This would act as a 'thruster' when full (it consumes hydrogen at a low rate due to molecular permeation), this thruster only works with specific density of atmosphere (for simplicity you can use the same limit as used for atmospheric thrusters) and they're directionless thrust that always provides an amount of thrust opposite to the center of gravity based on the amount of hydrogen stored inside. If it's 100% full, then 'x' thrust, if it's 76% full, then it's 76%'x'. You slap one on a non-anchored grid and it would float up to the atmospheric thruster limit and stay there until the hydrogen 'stored' inside gets below a critical threshold depending on how much weight is attached to it..
I like this feedback
Oops, oh and it would be subject to drifting on the wind unless you had other atmos thrusters to steer it.
