⚙️ 1. Dynamic Mechanical Systems & Realistic Fluid Physics

Every storage tank is a living industrial machine with tick-synchronized animations reactive to fluid volume, state of matter, flow rate, temperature, and electrical power:

💧 Incompressible Liquids vs Pressurized Gases

The engine features decoupled realistic physical rendering tailored specifically to the fluid's state of matter:

• Liquid Mechanics (Water, Crude Oil, Acids, Lubricant):
• Pixel-Calibrated Meniscus: Liquid level perfectly aligned pixel-by-pixel with the 0%–100% stamped stencil marks.
• Dynamic Surface Wave Dynamics: Multi-frame oscillating surface waves with fluid-specific opacity and viscosity.
• Active Transfer Stream & Impact Splash: A falling inlet jet stream and an authentic fluid splash crown at the point of impact.
• Thermal Bubble Ebullition: Real-time rising bubbles scaling in frequency and velocity with liquid temperature.
• Gas & Steam Mechanics (Petroleum Gas, High-Temp Steam, Fluoroketone):
• Volumetric Pressure Chamber: Dense pressurized vapor chamber filling the tank interior without a liquid meniscus.
• Continuous Gas Flow Stream: Gaseous transfer streams and condensation dynamics during active pumping.
• Smart Mechanical Pump: Wall-mounted animated pump that rotates in real-time (16 FPS) while fluid level is changing.
• Extensible Roof Hose: The hose automatically extends and docks to the roof when fluid arrives, featuring a pulsing yellow hydraulic bellows dampener, and retracts back to rest if the tank stays empty for 2 seconds.
• Structural Concrete Foundation & Corner Night Lights: Heavy reinforced concrete pad (15x15 tiles for 1M, 5x5 tiles for 100k) with integrated electrical distribution and 4 perimeter corner lights for automatic night illumination without external wiring.
• Roof Safety Relief Valve: Mechanical hammer-action pressure vent with manual red isolation handle and dynamic escape plume.

🛠️ 2. Realistic Triple-Axis Cumulative Wear & Aging Engine

Tanks feature an authentic industrial lifecycle where operational fatigue, environmental exposure, and enemy combat damage are tracked on three completely independent visual axes:

🔹 Axis A: Pumping Fatigue & Operational Wear

Measured strictly by total pumped volume (capped at 50,000,000 L for the 15x15 Big Tank / 5,000,000 L for the 5x5 Large Tank):

• Stage 0 (0 to 4M L — Grace Period): Pristine factory operation. Filling and emptying the tank twice produces zero wear.
• Stage 1 (4M to 18M L — Heat Fatigue): Early thermal discolorations and subtle exhaust soot around the top vents.
• Stage 2 (18M to 34M L — Heavy Grease): Sustained industrial workload producing dark lubricant streaks and seam grime.
• Stage 3 (34M to 50M L — Baked Carbon): Permanent baked carbon soot. Locks at maximum Stage 3 until serviced.

🔹 Axis B: Abandonment & Environmental Weathering

Measured in game day/night cycles (1 day = 25,000 ticks). Halts and resets as soon as fluid flows:

• Stage 0 (Days 0 to 30 — Grace Period): Heavy industrial enamel provides 30 full days of zero environmental degradation.
• Stage 1 (Days 30 to 60 — Specular Loss): Moisture exposure dulls the metallic gloss and introduces light surface oxidation.
• Stage 2 (Days 60 to 80 — Dense Rust): Evident neglect with flaking paint, oxide streaks, and atmospheric patina.
• Stage 3 (Day 90+ — Severe Corrosion): Deep industrial corrosion, pitting, and stagnant organic weathering.

🔹 Axis C: Combat Damage & Biter Attacks

Directly tracks entity health (HP), strictly decoupled from pumping wear:

• 100% to 85% HP (Intact Armor): Heavy ballistic alloy absorbs early impacts with no surface deformation.
• 85% to 55% HP (Stage 1): Deep physical gouges from biter claws and jaw strike indentations.
• 55% to 25% HP (Stage 2): Chemical erosion from spitter acid splashes combined with ripped hull plating.
• < 25% HP (Stage 3 — Critical Failure): Severe structural breaches, deformed braces, and pressurized vapor leaks.
• 0% HP (Collapse & Remnants): Permanent tank wreckage remains on the concrete foundation pad.

🧼 3. Realistic Industrial Maintenance & Cleaning Engine

Real factory maintenance brings realistic engineering solutions:

• Thermal Steam Purge (Steam >= 150 °C):
• Connecting pressurized steam from standard boilers (165 °C) or nuclear reactors (500 °C) activates ultra-fast thermal degreasing at 2,000,000 L/s (500x cleaning speed).
• Completely dissolves baked carbon soot, grease, and exhaust grime, restoring the tank to a factory-mirror shine in seconds.
• Hydraulic Water Flush & Water Barrels:
• Pumping circulating water washes away surface dirt (30x multiplier).
• Cursor Quick-Clean: Simply left-click any tank while holding a water barrel (water-barrel) in your cursor to immediately scrub away environmental rust and dust.
• Armor Repair:
• Standard repair packs and construction robots restore structural HP without wiping away the proud industrial patina of hard-working tanks.

🚨 4. Realistic BLEVE Explosion Physics & Catastrophic Hazards

Industrial reservoirs storing volatile hydrocarbons carry extreme physical hazards:

• Pressurized Gas & Hydrocarbon Classification:
• Automatically detects flammable hydrocarbons and gases (Petroleum Gas, Light Oil, Heavy Oil, Crude Oil, or flammable modded fluids).
• Kinetic BLEVE Shockwave (0.5s Delay):
• If a tank containing flammable fluids is destroyed by biters, artillery, or high-speed train impacts, it triggers a delayed BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) at 30 ticks (0.5s).
• Deals 8,000 lethal damage in a massive radius, incinerates the terrain into an irradiated scorched crater (nuclear-ground), and triggers missile-grade detonation audio.
• Refinery Chain Reactions:
• Deals 50% max HP collateral damage to adjacent tanks. Without proper firewalls or safety spacing, a single breach can trigger a spectacular domino explosion across an entire tank farm!

🎛️ 5. Circuit Network Telemetry & Management GUI

• Circuit Network & Direct Percentage Output:
• 4 circuit connection points (at corners) supporting Red and Green wires cleanly without cables draping across the dome.
• In addition to volume and temperature, it directly emits virtual signal [signal-P] with the exact fill percentage (0% to 100%) without needing any combinators!
• Embedded Native GUI & Relief Valve Control:
• Clean control window anchored to the bottom of the tank interface with live green/red status indicator lights.
• Operating Modes:
  • Disabled (Default): Hermetically sealed for standard high-volume storage.
  • Auto-Relief (Overfill Protection): Automatically vents excess fluid when reaching 99% capacity to avoid line jams.
  • Circuit Controlled: Opens and vents automatically whenever the circuit network emits signal D > 0.
  • Manual Purge: One-click emergency drain button.
  • Built-in Operations Manual: Instant in-game reference guide via the blue manual button.

🪐 6. Space Age & Planetary Adaptation

❄️ Cryogenic Planet Aquilo & Thermal Heating Operations

Both 15×15 (1M) and 5×5 (100k) tanks operating on sub-zero planet Aquilo with heat pipe connections, calibrated liquid levels at 45%, and high-contrast Alt-mode indicators:

• Thermal Heating on Aquilo: Built-in heating support (300 kW for 5x5, 1000 kW / 1 MW for 15x15) to prevent freezing on frozen planets.
• Frosty Frozen Pipe Covers: Automatically renders official frozen pipe covers (pipe_covers_frozen) when unheated on cryogenic worlds.
• Extreme Fluids: Full native compatibility with Vulcanus lava, molten iron, molten copper, fluoroketone, and all Space Age fluid temperatures.
• Space Exploration (SE) Integration: Calibrated cargo rocket weights (weight = 100,000 for 5x5, 1,000,000 for 15x15) matching orbital logistics.
