Steel Liquid Tank

WorldObject

A storage tank for liquids allowing for a more reliable buffer.

Notes

A Steel Liquid Tank is a large, grid-aligned placed storage container for liquids, providing a reliable buffer for fluid handling in industrial setups. It occupies a 5x6x5 footprint. Stocking or having access to one can help manage the flow of liquids like water or oil in your production chain, especially before upgrading to pipe systems.
