How to Store Multiple Liquids in Multi-Fluid Storage Tanks

Instead of building separate fluid tanks for every liquid in your factory, you can consolidate liquids using multi-fluid storage.

Building Multi-Fluid Storage

1. Place a Multi-Fluid Storage tank block in your factory. A single tank block can hold up to eight different types of liquids at once, cutting down footprint requirements.

2. Choose between standard vertical tank orientations or horizontal versions to suit tighter factory corridors and lower ceilings.

3. Run pipes to and from the tank faces to pipe liquids into storage.

4. Use the Hand Pointer tool to inspect and change how adjacent mechanical components and pipes connect to your tank structure.

Managing Flow with Access Ports

1. Attach an access port block directly to your multi-fluid tank network.

2. The access port is equipped with three integrated tanks designed to handle complex routing. Use it to push and pull multiple distinct liquids simultaneously through connected pipe networks without cross-contaminating your supplies.

3. Monitor your fluid levels regularly to ensure none of the eight fluid allocations overflow during active factory operation.
