We can barrel fluids. We cannot barrel thruster fuel and oxidizer. We should be able to barrel these.
Why? I don't want to create oxidizer and fuel per-ship, I want to barrel it and move it around.
Thank you for your consideration.

I would remove barrel from game :p but who I am ? XD

Someone who offended all my robots ! ( laugh in fluoroketone )
I think there are reasons for the fluids one can't barrel, either because they are not meant to travel into another planet ( like some ressources from Aquilo), or because the quantity in which you are likely to use them would make barrels very annoying, i think thruster fuel & Oxidizer are part of the later. Apart from the early game, you are most likely to have a consumption of fuel in thruster that would require several stacks of barrels per minutes of flight, versus much less logistic for carrying ice iron and carbon.

Nah, think of two platforms in orbit above the same planet. Barrels for transferring fuel and oxidizer between platforms is the idea.
Re: [Suggestion] Barrelling Thruster Fuel & Oxidizer
you can't transfer from platform to platform, and it would be much much more efficient to transfer ice and iron or carbon than the fuel under the form of barrel , where 1 stack of barrel is like 4 second of fuel for the lowest quality engine
