Mask dock won't fill

Do you have a save file that has that problem? It could be some conflict in piping that makes pipes confused and oxygen doesn't flow.

Here's the save file

Yes, you are right. It seems like the inputs of oxygen masks don't act like drains like inputs of vents act but they act like T junctions. They let oxygen flow to the input only when it is coming from an output. But that happens only for the second oxygen mask dock in line. The first one fills up just fine.

I'm not sure if this illustrates and explains the problem/confusion well enough:

 

Although the input acts as a drain for the line of pipe if there is only one input, it doesn't let the pipe flow to the next one if there is no output. It's not only the oxygen mask docks that act like that. Every input if there is no output on one side will stop flowing.

I thought pipes didn't act like that but maybe I'm used to set pipe priority by using bridges that I didn't realize when/if their behavior without output changed
