{{About|the armored combat vehicle|the liquid storage container|Storage tank}}
{{:Tank/infobox}}

The '''Tank''' is a heavy armored fighting vehicle added to the game in Alpha 0.11. It is a mid-game weapon with two guns; an integrated [[Submachine gun]] and a powerful cannon that uses [[cannon shells]]. It, along with the [[car]], are the two vehicles in Factorio.

Since Engine units can only be built in Assembling machines, Tanks (like [[Car]]s) may not be built from by hand from their raw materials.

== Achievements ==
{{Main|Achievements}}
The tank is directly connected to the following achievement:
; Steamrolled
: Destroy 10 [[Enemies|spawners]] by impact.

==Combat==
The tank is a strong fighting vehicle due to its large health pool and the very high damage of its main weapon, the cannon. Additionally, due to the ability to employ drones from within the vehicle, it can be used as a form of drone or capsule transport vehicle, with the player simply using capsules to fight their battles. The tank particularly shines in battle against [[Enemies|Worms]], as their unavoidable projectiles are much less of a problem for an entity with a high health pool.

The tank lags behind in speed, however, compared to the player and the car. As a result, it may not perform as well in combat against melee enemies or enemies with shorter range than the player, as it has more difficulty dodging enemies. This may result in the tank being destroyed quickly, leaving the player in a tight spot.

It is possible to use throwable items such as grenades, poisons, and follower robots while riding in the tank. This makes it possible to perform drive-by attacks on large bases with a reasonable area of effect. Since grenades and tank are available fairly early in the game this enables an effective means of early game expansion before the better known turret creep strategy becomes viable.

==Movement==

The tank is very robust, and unlike the car can move through and destroy [[Tree|trees]] with near impunity, even when not moving, simply driving into an entity is enough to damage it. This can also be employed as a weapon against [[Enemies]], although certain enemies and structures (nests in particular) will deal high damage to the tank in the process; requiring repair after skirmishes.

The tank is slower than the car, but the freedom of being able to traverse tree-filled areas easily makes it a preferred vehicle among many players for exploring lands abroad. The tank can also rotate in place while standing still, which is useful for getting out of tight spots.

==Capsules and Bots integration==

[[Player#Capsules|Capsules]] can be used while inside the tank, including combat robots. [[Construction robot]]s, including those from a [[personal roboport]] within range of the tank will repair damage if [[repair pack]]s are available. Also, [[Logistic robot]]s can still refill the player's inventory. This can be very useful for reloading as new ammo dropped off to a player driving the tank will first be loaded into the tank if space is available.

Sulfuric acid

{{:Sulfuric acid/infobox}}

'''Sulfuric Acid''' is a [[Liquid]] that is used to create [[Batteries]] and [[Processing unit]]s. It is converted, by the [[Chemical plant]], from [[Sulfur]], [[Water]], and [[Iron plate]]s.
From 0.15 it's used in the mining of [[Uranium ore]].

==Optimal Ratio==
The optimal ratio for Sulfuric Acid production is two Sulfuric acid Chemical plants for every five Sulfur Chemical plants.

Two Sulfuric acid Chemical plants produce enough Sulfuric acid for 25 Battery Chemical plants, or for 300 Processing unit assemblers (if Assembler 3 is used).
