CRAFTING & INGREDIENTS

Empty Fluid Tank acquisition

Select Empty Fluid Tank in a Constructor and send Tanks to a Packager configured for the intended product. Supply the matching gas or volatile liquid to the Packager.

A Constructor makes Empty Fluid Tanks from Aluminum Ingots. Each batch consumes 1 Ingot and produces 1 Tank. At 100% clock, that is 60 Ingots and 60 Tanks per minute. A Packager uses the Tanks to package gases and volatile liquids. Listed packaged products include Nitric Acid, Rocket Fuel, Ionized Fuel, and Nitrogen Gas. Match the Tank supply to the Packager and provide the correct fluid input and output route.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Before you craft

  • Empty Fluid Tank recipe and Constructor.
  • Aluminum Ingots delivered to the Constructor.
  • Packager, intended packaging recipe, and matching fluid supply.
  1. Build a Constructor and select Empty Fluid Tank.
  2. Connect Aluminum Ingots and clear the Constructor output.
  3. At 100% clock, supply 60 Ingots per minute for 60 Tanks per minute.
  4. Connect the Tank output to a Packager configured for the desired packaged product.
  5. Supply the corresponding gas or liquid and route packaged products out.
  6. Compare Tank and fluid availability if the Packager stops producing.

Crafting tips

  • The batch ratio is 1 Aluminum Ingot to 1 Empty Fluid Tank.
  • Empty Fluid Tanks can also be made manually in the Equipment Workshop.
  • Listed uses include Packaged Nitric Acid, Rocket Fuel, Ionized Fuel, and Nitrogen Gas.

Repeat, collect and use

Match Tank production to Packager consumption and keep the relevant fluid supply available.

Common mistakes

  • Do not look for Empty Fluid Tank deposits; manufacture Tanks from Aluminum Ingots.
  • Do not confuse the container with its contents; the Packager needs the appropriate gas or liquid.

When to stop or switch

Stop increasing Tank production when packaging demand is met and the Packager has steady container and fluid supplies.
