Barrels can be used to store and transport 25 units of Crude Oil. Since they are solid objects, they can be used as an alternative to pipes, once Fluid handling is researched. The barrels themselves are reusable once the oil is drained.


Empty Barrels

Empty Barrels can be crafted. When Crude Oil Barrels are emptied, the (required) Assembling machine will also return an Empty Barrel.

Example of use

Barrels are useful in situations where pipes are not available or a bad option, such as oil production far away from your main factory. Barrels can be transported with a Belt transport system or Railway network, by Logistic robots, via Car or Tank, or in the player's inventory.
