| — In-game description |
The Liquid Transfer Station (abbreviated as LTS) is a player-built facility designed to store large quantities of liquid resources.
Storage
The Liquid Transfer Station has a stockpile that only accepts liquid resources. It can hold up to 500 items of one type at a time.
You can check the content of a Transfer Station stockpile by putting your cursor on its icon on the map, but only if it is not reserved by a squad. There are also four lightbulbs on one of the drum which light up depending on how full the stockpile is: all bulbs off means empty, one bulb means between 1% and 25% full, two bulbs means between 25% and 50%, etc...
Pipelines
The Liquid Transfer Station has one inlet and one outlet to connect Pipelines to it to automatically transfer liquid resources in or out of the stockpile. Two painted arrows above each attachment point indicate which is the inlet and outlet. The inlet is on the tank closest to the loading area.
Construction
The Liquid Transfer Station must be built on Foundations with a Construction Vehicle and costs Construction Materials.
You can check the content of a Transfer Station stockpile by putting your cursor on its icon on the map, but only if it is not reserved by a squad.
Interactions
- You can access its interface when on foot or in a logistics vehicle by pressing
E. - You can place a Liquid Container on the loading area with a crane to directly transfer items in or out.
- The original builder can instantly demolish it
if it was built less than 28 days ago (materials refunded). - It can be reserved for a Squad
to prevent non-members from modifying it.
- Reserving it will not allow stockpile contents to be visible from the map (icon are still shown)
- Non-members can still access the stockpile.
- It is immune to Friendly Fire but it can be flagged for "Disruptive Structure Placement"
to remove the immunity (5 "votes" needed). - You can view the Stockpile Actions Log
to check what was added and retrieved from the stockpile. - You can view the Action Logs to check the modifications done to it.
Trivia
- When the Liquid Transfer Station was introduced in 1.50 Inferno, it used the basic facility map icon. This was changed in Update 1.52, when it was given its own map icon.
- Along with the change, the contents of the Liquid Transfer Station could be seen from the map, as long as the Resource Transfer Station is not squadlocked.
