How to drain fuel from one tank to all other tanks?


Recommended Posts

I have a space station with a mining vessel attached, the mining vessel has many fuel tanks and the station only has one. I'm wondering how I can make the station's tank drain into all of the mining vessel's tanks. (I'm on console btw)

I’m not sure how the console controls work, but you should be able to select a specific resource from the list (e.g. liquid fuel, oxidiser) and then pump fuel in or out of any tanks that have it on board; it respects fuel crossfeed though so make sure your decouplers and docking ports allow crossfeed before pumping the fuel and disable it after to avoid issues with fuel draining from the wrong places.

On a PC, what you would do is alt-right click on each of the destination tanks as well as the source tank, and once they're all open, click on the "out" button below the source tank's LF/Ox sliders. That should send the resources flowing evenly into all the destination tanks.

On console you can only have tabs open for one part at a time unless you use the fuel menu in the top right corner. Even then you can only have 4 tabs open. The problem is, when you press "out" on the source tank it only transfers fuel to the other 3 selected tanks. For some reason you can't select the other tanks for transfer on console, it just replaces the source tanks tab so you can't get the fuel out of it.
