Empty Canister

Empty Canisters are parts used to package Fluids, which allows them to be carried in inventories or transported using Conveyor Belts and Vehicles. They are used in the packaging process and are returned during unpackaging, making them reusable. Each Canister can hold 1 m of fluid.

Tips

 * Some packaged fluids are far more useful than others. Packaged Water, for example, is necessary for Diluted Packaged Fuel.

Trivia

 * Canisters appear to change form depending on what fluid is packaged. They retain their original shape when packaging Fuel, Turbofuel, or Liquid Biofuel, but when packaging Oil or Water, they change to a metal barrel or gallon container, respectively.
 * Every packaged fluid except for Water can be used as vehicle fuel.
 * Sulfuric Acid and Alumina Solution cannot be packaged.
 * Alumina Solution probably has an exceptionally high melting point that is not suitable to be contained in a plastic canister.
 * Sulfuric Acid is highly corrosive and could burn through the plastic canister.

History

 * Patch 0.3.6: Two alternate recipes introduced (Steel Canister and Coated Iron Canister)
 * Patch 0.3.3.4: Unpackaging Heavy Oil Residue now gives back the right amount of Canisters
 * Patch 0.3: Introduced
