— In-game description |
The Liquid Transfer Station (abbreviated as LTS) is a player-built facility structure designed to store large quantities of liquid resources in its stockpile.
Construction
The Liquid Transfer Station must be built on Foundations with a Construction Vehicle and costs 35 Construction Materials.
Modifications
Pipelines can be connected to its inlet and outlet to automatically transfer liquids.
Demolition
The original builder, and squad members if reserved, can instantly demolish it if it was built less than 28 days ago. The materials used in the construction are refunded and dropped under the player.
Reservation
The original builder can reserve it for a Squad for 52 hours in the menu to prevent non-members from modifying it, however the stockpile access is not restricted. The reservation can be refreshed by any squad member. If the reservation expires, the structure can never be reserved again.
Destruction
It is immune to Friendly Fire but it can be flagged for "Disruptive Structure Placement" to remove the immunity (10 "votes" needed).
Reconstruction
When destroyed, it leaves behind a "husk" that can be rebuilt. Reconstruction uses the same tool and materials as the construction. Rebuilding it restore its stockpile.
Use
You can access its interface when on foot or in a logistics vehicle by pressing E
.
Storage
Its stockpile only accepts liquid resources. It can hold up to 500 items but they must all be of the same type.
There are four lightbulbs on one of the drum that light up depending on how full the stockpile is: all off = empty, one = 1-25% full, two = 25-50%, three = 50-75%; four = 75-100%.
In the interface you can view the Stockpile Actions Log to check what was added and retrieved from the stockpile.
You can check the content of a Transfer Station stockpile remotely by putting your cursor on its icon on the map.
Loading Area
You can place a Liquid Container on the loading area with a crane to directly transfer items in or out.
Pipelines
It 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.
The pipelines can be used so the Liquid Transfer Station automatically refuels various nearby facilities that require liquids for their production.
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.
