Combine multiple fluid containers

[crisp tiger]

Would be a great QOL improvement for inventory/storage management to give the ability to combine multiple fluid containers (that have the same fluid in them) all at once. For Example, say you have a storage for your alcohols (beer, gin, vodka, whiskey, wine) but all of the bottles have varying amounts. Instead of one by one combining each one, allow for combining like fluids into each other at once and any extra empty bottles are left over

but what if some of them are dirty or putrid, are you auto combining all those? Not saying this is a bad suggestion, but it would have to keep in mind "just the good stuff"

my game crashes when I try to drag detergent onto another detergent bottle recently. I'd love for this to be an option, just be mindful of the smell/examine before you do it.

yea I agree with you on that and didn't think of that. Could be something along the lines of only combine like liquids of like cleanliness. I also think you should be able to fill multiple liquid containers from a sink or other source. Like I had some of the large barrels that were empty and moved them near the sink in my house and ended up having to fill buckets in my inventory and then fill up the barrels so that I had water stored up for when it shuts off

next time use a keg or a gas tank to transfer, it is faster. I get what you are saying though. I collect a lot of cooking oil for frying meat and have like 20 partially full bottles.

That’s why your mother taught you to be neat and organized from the very beginning 😂

i like the idea of using the "beer keg" to hold other fluids, but it would be nice if it would label the "keg" with what was actually inside ( Water Keg, Gin Keg, Cooking Oil Keg).

[crisp tiger]

You should be able to label it like you can for the other buckets/tubs/basins

[crisp tiger]

If I end up filling a container with something I always use the label button to male sure I know what is in it. Currently have like 3 metal basins full of cooking oil and some extra beer kegs full of different liquids

[lament sequoia]

ok good to know, i hadn't looked at that yet. Also a "keg rack" would be nice to store those kegs on their sides stacked up and being able to refill individual containers from the kegs.

[crisp tiger]

There are fluid barrels you can build that hold 6.6k fl oz but you can’t move them to your inventory to fill easily and you can’t label them in any way unless you place a storage box on top of it and label that but yea a much larger fluid storage for centralized rain water storage/fuel storage would be nice

[lament sequoia]

maybe with the "investigate" option and a high enough crafting/construction skill we could craft those large square fluid storage containers to provide water for a base with a pump

[crisp tiger]

YESS I have seen those and always wished I could move them onto a truck or something to have for the storage

[lament sequoia]

but i was just envisioning a rack of kegs in the kitchen holding cooking oil, different types of broth, water of corse and then you just fill up a fluid container of which ever you need for the current recipe and place it into the stove for use.
