Barrels are kind of a pain in the ass unless you control the number with a circuit network. Otherwise you get shit happening like all your empty barrels end up sitting at one oil outpost that doesn't have a lot of units/sec., and there aren't enough for all the other outposts. Either that or have separate trains and unbarreling stops for each outpost, which is wasteful.
Wat?
Yeah but only if you unload more than you need. If you unload them directly into the assembler that fills them there's no buffer for them to pile up in. With 4 assembler 3 + speed mod 3 you can load 250 oil a second.
Throughput depends on which order they were built in. If you build the pipes from the source to the destination it will flow a bit faster because they update in the right order. Not a huge deal but you notice it on long pipes.
Early February :^)
Yeah, but if there is no buffer then you're wasting barreling time whenever the train isn't there. I suppose it's less important if you have that level of throughput, but it just feels better when outposts are functioning even when I'm not there.
B-but it's mid-March…
Is the new update out yet? I'm tired of waiting. I want my nukes. I'm gonna Fukushima the entire alien planet.
