Train Oil and Gas cars

Post by theradman221 »

So i have gotten pretty far into the game and i have been annoyed by two things mainly.
First there is no in game way to transport oil unless it is in barrels or in a huge pipe line.
Second the barrels do not work with heavy oil or light oil or petroleum gas.
I think that what the game needs to fix this is the ability to put more liquids into barrels, and another one or two train cars that can be used to transport liquids long distances.
What do you think, what other things could be added to help improve the oil industries/ railways?

Oil extension (boiler for oil, oil wagon etc).
In the mean time, there are barrel mods which allow you to store the other oils in barrels. :)

I think that this thing is annoying a lot of people and personally I can't wait for it.

Thankfully all those problems can already be solved with mods. For liquid transportation wagons there is the Rail Tanker liquid transportation mod: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... ail#p53494
Or if you want to store the liquids in barrels theres Fluid Barrel mod: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... rel#p62260
And if you want more advanced circuit stuff theres Smart Circuit Systems mod: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... art#p49230
