Barrel

A metal barrel for carrying liquids.

Notes

The Barrel is a solid metal block designed for carrying liquids, making it essential for transporting fluids across the map or storing them in bulk. It is produced by multiple recipes and serves as an ingredient in creating Biodiesel and Petroleum. Because it can be carried on the back and stacks to ten, barrels offer a compact way to move large volumes of liquid between locations.
