In the game
How to get it
At the grid: 8 cells of 4 steel plates round a cell of bolts (32 plates in all): 1 large tank. Place it and connect large pipes.
What it is for
The store of a pipeline or a big refinery: four times a tank, in one piece.
Why it exists
Heavy industry needs heavy storage; it replaced the old gas sphere and cistern.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
How to make it
4 steel plates in every cell of the grid but the centre (32 plates) and bolts in the centre.
Using it
- 3 x 3 x 3 m, 64 m³ of one liquid or one gas.
- Large pipes only: a small line reaches it through a pipe junction.
- Breaking a full large tank loses what it holds.
Right-click a block to place it, facing you. Broken, it comes back whole.
