What benefit do they offer, and how can they be utilized?
#What are Fluid Tanks for?
pale girder
acoustic hill
Common consensus is that they are completely useless.
stable cairn
they are there to take up space. That's it
chrome blaze
can be useful in combination with trains over a super long distance, if you want to store more fluid while the trains are away
pale girder
I'd just put more trains
chrome blaze
its a bit cheaper to use fluid tanks instead
but yeah otherwise i havent seen any other purpose
undone dragon
I use them in recycle mixers
glacial ruin
They can be used as a one way pipe
low prism
I believe they're also "low priority", which mean it can be used for "overflow gates" where paint only go one way it the other way is full.
rigid shore
kind of useful if youve built an entirely compact on-demand mixing station with valves and wire signals. since then it can hold some pre-mixed fluids while the mixers are 'spinning up' on the change over ... pretty negligable speed savings though. 🤷♂️
lime current
Shape storage buildings died so we could have paint storage. 🥲
