Example for usability

Barrels could be very handy in situations where pipes are not available or a bad option; such as oil production far away from your main factory for example. (Remote pump station). With Barrels Crude Oil could be transported with Transport belts, with Logistic robots, by the Railway network or in the avatars inventory.
