Reinforced Liquid Tank

Reinforced Liquid Tank is a large-capacity liquid storage and distribution block introduced in Build 136 and exclusive to the Erekir tileset. It stores a significant volume of fluids and pushes them outward in all directions in the same manner as Reinforced Liquid Router, functioning as both a buffer and an active distributor in liquid networks. The block is classified among Erekir Liquid Blocks and Liquid Transport structures.

Adjacent Reinforced Liquid Tanks will equalize their liquid contents automatically; this equalization behavior also applies between Reinforced Liquid Tank and Reinforced Liquid Container when placed next to each other. Because it actively outputs to all cardinal directions, a Reinforced Liquid Tank is useful as a hub for feeding multiple pumps, routers, or other consumers while still providing local storage.

Reinforced Liquid Tank can be placed on deep-liquid tiles (for example Slag, Tar floor, Arkycite, and Cryofluid) provided placement conditions are met that ensure at least partial contact with non-deep-liquid terrain. Specifically, when placed on deep-liquid terrain the tank requires one of the following:

• at least one tile of its interior footprint sits on a shallow-liquid tile or a non-liquid, non-empty ground tile; or
• at least one cardinally adjacent tile (not counting corners) around the tank is a shallow-liquid tile or a non-liquid, non-empty ground tile.

Because of this placement rule, two Reinforced Liquid Tanks placed in sequence can bridge gaps of deep liquid: two tanks together are capable of bridging a six-tile deep-liquid gap, which exceeds the bridging span of the Reinforced Bridge Duct (which bridges five tiles in comparable arrangements).

Practical notes and numbers:

• Build history: added in Build 136; health increased in Build 147 from 860 to 900.
• Use tanks as distribution hubs near production chains where several outputs require buffered supply, or to smooth out intermittent pump output.
• Place tanks with at least one edge adjacent to land or shallow liquid if you need them on deep-liquid bodies; plan foundations so that each tank satisfies the interior or cardinal adjacency rule.
• Combine multiple tanks to create long, stable crossings across deep-liquid areas while maintaining liquid access for consumers.

Reinforced Liquid Tank is best deployed as part of a planned liquid network where both storage capacity and multi-directional output are needed, especially on Erekir maps with extensive deep-liquid tiles.
