Introduction

Do you:

  • See barrels as the enemy?
  • See piping liquids as the enemy?
  • Wish to push barrels to greater heights?
  • Achieve bliss in barrels made perfectly suited to you?

-

If you answered "Yes!" to any of the above, this mod is for you!

What This Does

This mod provides a short list of settings to modify barrel logistics behavior.

Empty barrels can have different stack sizes than filled barrels. If you have trains moving around barrels, you can set a high stack size and require fewer trains to move the empties around. Bigger Barrel Stack does this as well.

You can make the barreling recipes not actually use barrels, which removes the barrel logistics puzzle. Inspired by the unique mod No Empty Barrels.

You can also change the amount of fluid barrels can hold, as that is a popular tweak for barrel adjustment mods. (e.g. Barrel Tweaks and Barrel Size)

Until you change the mod startup settings, nothing will be changed from vanilla.

Why Bother?

I made this mod so that I would not need three separate mods to change how barrels work, and also to keep the mod settings concise.

Other Barrel-Related Mod Recommendations
