Reinforced Liquid Container

Reinforced Liquid Container is a large-capacity fluid storage block that also functions like a liquid router by outputting fluid in all directions. It is used to hold substantial quantities of liquids for logistics, defenses, or offensive interactions with the environment and enemies.

Placement and terrain interaction follow specific constraints. When placed in Deep Water terrain, the Reinforced Liquid Container requires at least one of the following:

• at least one inner tile (a tile within the container’s footprint) that is either shallow water or a non-empty, non-liquid terrain; or
• at least one non-corner surrounding tile that is either shallow water or a non-empty, non-liquid terrain.

The same requirements apply when placing the block on Slag, Tar (floor), Arkycite, or Cryofluid (floor) tiles: the container must have at least one inner tile that is shallow water or non-empty non-liquid, or at least one non-corner surrounding tile that is shallow water or non-empty non-liquid. These placement rules prevent certain terrain-only placements and ensure the block can interact with neighboring non-liquid tiles or shallow water.

Practical usage and interactions:

• Because it behaves like a liquid router, the Reinforced Liquid Container will push out stored fluids in all directions, making it useful as a centralized distribution node in complex piping networks.
• The large internal capacity is suitable for buffering large flows, staging liquids for production chains, or storing volatile fluids safely away from sensitive structures.
• The block can be picked up by core units as a payload. This enables an offensive tactic commonly called “Ozone bombing”: fill a Reinforced Liquid Container with Ozone, load it onto a core unit, and place it adjacent to enemy structures or units. Enemy turrets and units will target and destroy the container, triggering an explosion from the Ozone that deals heavy damage to nearby blocks and units.
• Be aware that carrying any payload disables a core unit’s stealth ability; a core unit transporting a Reinforced Liquid Container becomes vulnerable to enemy detection and damage.
• Use placement constraints to your advantage when building near hazardous floors or deep water; ensure at least one required adjacent or interior tile condition is met to successfully construct the container.

These characteristics make the Reinforced Liquid Container a versatile component for both logistics and creative combat strategies, but its terrain-dependent placement and the risks of payload transport should be considered when integrating it into base layouts or attack plans.
