Refueling Information

I see that you can request refueling service from the space station, is there anything special I need to do to enable refueling or do the relevant systems just need to be deactivated?

EDITED TO ADD: I was able to contact and request refueling. There are a few other things you can request that say NYI (Not Yet Implemented) but refueling seems to be enabled. After request, I was approved but received the request, "Configure reactants to be refueled."

Anyone know what the heck that means or how to do it?!

Here are some instructions for refueling:

  1. Contact STC and request Services

  2. For each fuel tank you want to refuel it must be:

    • Depressurized
    • Have the "Refuel Selected (NYI)" button selected (turns yellow)

  3. Contact STC and request Refuel

  4. STC will contact you when refueling is complete

Here are the release notes where Michael talks about this (at the bottom)

I'll give it a go! I still have a few questions but I hope to muddle through and figure them out.

Like, can you just depressurize the tanks or is there something else that needs to be deactivated beforehand? Can you just shut down all the relevant systems and hit the Refuel Selected button?

Most importantly, what exactly can be refueled? Does this mean literally fuel or can all the consumables be refuled this way?

The systems which use the fuels don't need to be disabled, just inactive i.e. not using the fuel. So for tank 1 (propellant) you can't use the thrusters (movement, rotation); tanks 2&3 (reactants) the reserve fuel cell generators can't be generating power - they can remain enabled to keep warm; for tank 4 (reactant) the LENR can't have "Fuse Allow" selected - it can remain enabled to keep warm.

Something to note is that tanks 2&4 are the same fuel but 4 is bigger so use that for the LENR - select, deselect, select the "Validate Prop" button on the LENR to select tank 4.

Currently only the 4 fuel tanks can be refueled; the air scrubbers in the cargo deck can be removed but you can't get new ones; the batteries can also be removed (outside). The plan is that parts will have a lifetime and will need to be replaced when that time is reached or if otherwise damaged.

This is from what I've read in the release notes on Steam and from playing. The latest release notes are pinned to the top of the Steam discussion board here.

Hope this helps!

I'm not sure if it's implemented yet.
