Suggestion: Gas Storage Tanker

[DarkD]

I was playing a cycle 200 game and I found I had pretty much created a stable economy, but my bloody gas vents are STUFFED with chlorine gas everywhere.  And I'm using so little of it that all I can do is wait 100 cycles for it to go down.  So I thought, it would be REALLY nice if klei would add a gas storage tanker in the next update.

Been suggested before. But I would like to see pressurized gas tanks. Holding up to 20k g.

Provided that high pressure vents can already support 18kg per tile, i dont see what good 20kg would do.

Point taken.

Then increase it to 100kg. In a 2x2 pressurized tank. Sorry wasn't really thinking. Oops. I just liked the Idea as I end up having huge areas for gas.

Think of this further: Gas tanks could share some of the mechanics of pitcher pumps and bottle emptiers so you could create/transfer gas bottles. Right now the only option when a bottle is created is to empty it in place. I'am totally in favor of gas tanks if they would allow duplicants to transport gas bottles. I wouldn't mind a reasonably high material cost such as plastic or refined metal and even a steady power cost.

I agree, refined metal and plastic to create a gas tank that hold 100kg gas in a 2x2 area. (or more). You can dupes can use this to put bottles into or pull bottles out of them. Then we would need a manual gas pump and bottle emptier to allow gas bottles be emptied.

This is a cool idea but this kind of steals from the game. At the moment you can build a gas tank by yourself with abbysalite isolated tiles + some pumps inside. If KLEI make it so that building a gas tank so easy it kind of steals from the game in one area and add less in another. You understand what i mean? Overall don't know how to feel about it. On one hand it would be a cool idea on the other i would want people to be creative with parts they already have to create some systems on their own.
