Tank
Tanks provide storage for gases, such as oxygen and metreon, and fluids such as water and fuel. They can provide a stable supply of resources for equipment (e.g., fuel for reactors). Crew members will refill tanks from containers using set up Loaders when necessary.
The crew can repair damaged tanks. When a tank is destroyed, all contents are lost and irrecoverable.
Sizes edit
Tanks are available in different sizes. All tanks hold 1,500 units per square, one size is not a more efficient container than the others.
| Name | Holds | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 6,000 | 2x2 |
| Medium | 9,000 | 2x3 |
| Huge | 22,500 | 3x5 |
Since a container only holds 1,000 units, it is more space efficient to load containers into a tank rather than carry more than four containers.
Transfer Rate edit
A tank delivers as many units per second as demanded. It also takes as many units per second as provided. Currently there are no known limits. Contrast this with loaders which max out at 20 units per second.
