Like "how am I gonna store it all".
But seriously, though. On normal settings, that is a looooot of oil. Not much copper, though, but I've been managing so far.
Dunno about you, but I reckon I'm going to have oil problems

Re: Dunno about you, but I reckon I'm going to have oil problems
Use barrels ! A single steel chest full of barrels is equal to 4.8 storage tanks but is 9 times smaller. You could use a setup like the following.
Can take a bit more than 60 oil per second and output the same. Should be more than enough even for your map.
It can output about 60 oil per second which is enough to feed 30 oil refineries. Which should be enough to feed just about any type of factory I imagine.
It will only create new barrels if and when they are needed. Otherwise it will recycle the same barrels.
Left chests are for empty barrels and right chests are for filled barrels. 20 chests offer a storage equivalent to 96 storage tanks (+4 actual tanks for 100). But it is infinitely expandable upward and sideways should that not be enough. For example, expending just 1 chests line upward and sideways would increase the storage to a total of 144 storage tanks (+4 actual tanks for 148).
If that isn't enough storage for you, then I don't know what is.
PS: I know the smart chest for empty barrels on the left doesn't look connected, but I assure you that it is.

I'm going to assume that you are talking about the opening post. For some strange reason he put the image in a text spoiler block. Just click the gray bar near the bottom of his post.666JTK666 wrote:I cant see the image, would you double check that it is visible , I really want to see this setup you have described.
