Colossal Redstone Reservoirs Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start building a custom-sized fluid tank?
Place fluid tank blocks in any shape and size you want—the mod removes the standard three-by-three limit. The tank will form automatically as long as the blocks are connected, and you can make it as large as your base needs.
What's the maximum boiler level I can build now?
The mod raises the boiler level cap from 18 to 100, letting you generate much more steam pressure for heavy machinery. You can push even higher with server-side configuration settings if needed.
How do I change the window size on my tank?
Right-click the tank with a wrench to adjust the glass window layout. This lets you customize how much of the tank's interior you can see without rebuilding the whole structure.
Can I connect pipes to tanks and boilers that are bigger than three-by-three?
Yes—pipes connect to oversized tanks and boilers the same way they connect to normal ones. Just attach them to any face of the structure and fluid will flow normally.
Do I need to do anything special to heat a large boiler?
Place heat sources (like lava or burners) beneath the boiler structure just as you would with a normal one. Larger boilers need more heat input to reach higher levels, but the mechanics work the same way.
Will building huge tanks and boilers lag my game?
Large fluid structures do use more resources, but the mod is designed to handle custom sizes efficiently. If you experience lag, check your server settings and consider whether your machine can handle the scale you're building.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, the mod works on servers and includes server-side settings to configure boiler capacity caps and other limits for all players.
What happens if I try to connect a tank that's too big to my factory pipes?
There's no size limit for pipe connections—oversized tanks work with standard piping. If flow seems slow, make sure your pipes are the right type and diameter for the fluid volume you're moving.
Can I make a tank or boiler with an irregular shape?
Yes—as long as the blocks are connected, they'll form a valid tank or boiler regardless of shape. You're not limited to rectangular structures anymore.
Do I need to rebuild my existing tanks to use this mod?
No—existing tanks and boilers will continue to work. You only need to rebuild if you want to take advantage of the larger sizes this mod allows.
