Liquid & Gas Storage Tanks.

I think it would be great to be able to build storage tanks for both liquids and gas to store and sort acquired gasses and liquids for later use. Im aware that you can "build" storage areas by making a sealed room with an input and output pipe, but there seems to be a loss from this method and it takes a ton of space. Gasses are also hard to store with this method due to having to pump all gasses out of a storage room first (which is nye impossible) and then because saturation limits quickly prevent vents from pumping into the room. Compressed gas canisters would be great for compact storage of gasses, and there could be a mobile oxygen tank that duplicants could carry/wear into hazardous environments refillable at one of these tanks. To help balance the ability to store liquids and gasses in small spaces there could be a compressor it has to be piped through requiring power.

I love this idea.  mostly for the sake of not having to have my dupes run across my entire colony to get water. they could instead just head to a storage tank, ideally placed right next to where the water needs to go, and they are done!

gas tanks could also be helpful into order to store things like hydrogen, for a generator.  which isn't easy to get a large enough amount in an area to keep the generator going.

So if you look at some of the game screenshots on the steam store page you can see liquid and gas storage containers and I am assuming that the are still working out the kinks and the storage will be patched in eventually. In the meantime i have found an great way to store gas. A normal gas chamber can store 1.5 kg of gas per space until vents overpressurize. But when the vent is OP then the gas backs up in the pipe at 10kg per pipe section. So i snaked the pipes leading to the vent essentially increasing each block of space in the tank from 1.5kg to 11.5kg of storage. making the tank in the attached image worth 6-7x its size.
