Can we get small and large water tanks please?

[chaotic phoenix]

Hello, i'm going to keep this sort and simple.

I think having water tanks in the game would give the game some quality of life.

Small water tank could be 2x2

large water tank could be 2x4 or 3x3

how much water it holds, ill leave that up to the dev's to decide 

I think water tanks would work really nicely in the game with pressurized switch's and valves.

thanks for taking the time to read my post dev's and too any one else that happens to as well.

cheers.

Weren't the only to suggest this CBA to find the post. Look before posting

Liquids do not pressurize. This is the fundamental physics behind how hydraulics function, as it takes immense amounts of pressure to get them to compress even slightly.

As much as I can appreciate the idea of nice, compact liquid storage, I hope Klei does NOT implement this, as it is both unneeded and physically unrealistic.

I believe that liquid tanks exists in ONI since early conceptual models, but for some reason developers didn`t added them yet.

True, but by this logic storage compactors shouldn't exist either.

It doesn't sounds too unrealistic for a 4-6 tiles building to hold 2-3 t of liquid. I'd love to see them as in-obstructive water dispensers for kitchens and labs. Potentially, if Klei ever decide so, for dupes consumption. It always felt weird to me that dupes don't drink.

I wouldn't even need it to compress. Let it be a 2x2 tank that holds 2x2 tiles of water (hell, even half of that and I'd still be happy). As long as I can suck out of the tank and into the tank without power I'm a happy camper. Hell, even if it required power that would still save you 8 outer tiles (6 if the tank needed to rest on tiles) even more if you count the fact that you'd need a vent to let liquid into it.

• So many of my plumbing designs require a long snake of pipes just as a holding cell before it hits the next portion. If I could replace that with just a big reserve I didn't need to build a pump and vent out of oh my god that would make things look less like spaghetti.
• Think about how much easier it would be to transfer heat to and from liquids if you could put a tank of liquid inside another liquid.
• It would actually keep polluted water liquid, because it's still under pressure. It wouldn't gas off.
• Just look at this photo. https://imgur.com/a/gmZuLZY Imagine how much space you could save if you had buildings that just held liquid. Not even compress, just hold.
