Portable Oxygenator

The Portable Oxygenator is an oxygen generation item used to generate Oxygen using Power in the Backpack. Combined with any power generation such as Small Wind Turbines, Small Solar Panels, or Small Generators, it can provide a permanent Oxygen supply without needing to connect to tethers or other devices that provide oxygen.

Uses
To use a Portable Oxygenator, the player must first place it in one of the widget slots on the Backpack, then press the corresponding context key (default C or V, for left or right slot) to activate. The Portable Oxygenator will run until it consumes all power, even if the oxygen tank is full, so the player should turn it off once the oxygen tank is filled.

When the Portable Oxygenator is active, the player won't connect to tethers until it is turned off. For use away from tethers, the player is required to have a source of power, either Small Solar Panels, Small Wind Turbines, or Small Generators, to refill the backpack power supply. Using a Small Generator may be the best option, with organic being found on all planet layers.

When activated, a Portable Oxygenator consumes 1 U/s continuously and fills a single Oxygen Tank per 10 Units of power consumed. When paired with a, the portable oxygenator will provide infinite oxygen to the player.

The Portable Oxygenator can be placed on a Platform to act as a standard Oxygenator and provide Oxygen to the base and tethers, however, it will still require power to function.
