The Packager is a building used to package and unpackage fluids in and out of  Empty Canisters or  Empty Fluid Tanks. Both Canisters and Fluid Tanks are returned when fluid is unpackaged from them, allowing them to be reused. Packaged liquids can be transported with Conveyor Belts and is somewhat more efficient when transporting them with Conveyor Lifts due to the power usage of Pipeline Pumps.

Overclocking

Main article: Clock speed

The Packager can be overclocked using Power Shards. Overclocking increases the input/output speed of the Packager at the cost of greatly increased power demand proportional to output.

Clock speed	25%	50%	75%	100%	150%	200%	250%
Consumption (MW)	1.09	3.3	6.31	10	19.13	30.31	43.32

Head lift

Main article: Head lift

The Packager has a recommended head lift of 10 meters, measured from the center of its pipe outlet.

Trivia

• "PAC-IT MK1" is written on the machine, suggesting that higher marks would be available, though it has been denied by developers.
• Before the introduction of the Packager, Refineries were given the job of packaging and unpackaging liquids. Refineries that were constructed after the update lost this ability.
• To calculate the energy spent to package / unpackage a certain fluid:
  • Energy = 600 MJ / (rate of un/packaging in X/min) . The multiplier for the item recipe can be ignored as only the rate is concerned.
