So after the recent barreling debuff, this is a thing, now, in my base.

I keep trying to figure out if I accidentally deconstructed a storage chest or something. No, just using them for stuff, it seems.

Yup, now that they hold 1/5th as much, they need to be moved around 5x as often. Glad I never bothered barreling anything.

Remove all your belts and replace them with bots. Now you see ? You have more bots carrying non barrels than you have bots carrying barrels :)

When can we start carrying electricity using bots?

First thing I plan on doing once I switch to 0.16 is downloading mod that fixes barrels. I have tried using pipes, fluid wagon and fluid tanks in 0.15, but it was just an exercise in futility. Barrels are simply way better than the alternative.
