Large Liquid Tank

A big passive tank holding 1,000 t of one liquid. Like a Liquid Tank it sticks to the first fluid piped in and only lets go once it has drained completely.

Stats: Type Fluids · Storage: any liquid, 1,000 t

How to obtain: Requires the Large Liquid Tank research (Plants 900,000). Buy from the Shop for 15,000 cr.

Access: get_component(id) · Like every component, exposes .id and .name.

Methods

Identical API to Liquid Tank, at 10× the capacity.

.outpost

The outpost where this building is deployed, as an OutpostRef.

.fluid()

The latched liquid id, or "" while empty. Possible values: "", "water", "oil", "frozen_essence", "coastal_essence", "geothermal_essence", "volcanic_essence", "deep_essence", "brine", "raw_cryofluid", "cryofluid", "raw_quicksilver", "quicksilver".

Returns: String

.level() / .capacity() / .fill_pct()

Current tons stored (0 to capacity; at 0 the tank unlatches), maximum tons, and the 0-1 fill fraction shortcut.

Returns: Number

.inflow_rate() / .outflow_rate()

Liquid arriving / leaving in t/h. 0 inflow = no upstream flow; 0 outflow = no downstream consumer drawing.

Returns: Number (t/h)

.is_full() / .is_empty()

Full: upstream source is backpressured. Empty: unlatched, downstream consumers starved.

Returns: Boolean

.liquid_in / .liquid_out

Generic FluidPort input and output; neutral while empty, latched to the reservoir’s exact liquid once filled.

.water_in / .water_out

Exact-fluid FluidPort properties that exist only while fluid() is "water" (the pattern generalizes to the latched fluid).
