BerbCorp Barrel Capacity

Changes fluid barrel fill and empty recipes so each filled barrel represents a configurable amount of fluid.

What it changes

Adds a startup setting for fluid amount per barrel.
Defaults to 10,000 fluid per barrel.
Updates generated fill-barrel and empty-barrel recipes for vanilla and modded fluids.
Keeps recipe statistics ignore amounts aligned with the configured capacity when those fields exist.
Runs the patch in data-final-fixes.lua.

Why

Vanilla barrels hold 50 fluid, which makes barrel logistics noisy and item-heavy when you want compact fluid transport or storage. This keeps the same barrel mechanics, but lets each filled barrel represent more fluid.

Performance

This mod is data-only.

It has no control.lua, no tick handler, no hidden entities, no entity scanning, and no runtime fluid simulation. It changes recipe prototypes during startup and then does no work while the game is running.

Compatibility

Requires Factorio 2.1.

The mod uses Factorio's generated barrel recipe names first, then also checks recipes in the fill-barrel and empty-barrel subgroups. This helps it work with modded fluids and most modded barrel recipes.

Balance

This is a strong logistics/balance tweak. A stack of filled barrels can represent far more fluid than vanilla, especially with the default value of 10,000.

Safe for existing saves

Safe to add to existing saves.

Existing filled barrel items will empty into the configured amount after the mod is enabled. Changing the setting later also changes how much fluid stored filled barrels represent.

License and BerbCorp Assets

BerbCorp-created visuals, thumbnails, icons, badges, logos, and promotional images remain BerbCorp assets. After the 18-month MIT fallback applies, those assets may be reused only together with this mod or a fork/continuation where BerbCorp remains first in the mod name and the BerbCorp logo/badge remains visible on the thumbnail.
