Drawer Tanks
by chaevsfe
Drawer Tanks adds fluid storage tanks that plug into Storage Drawers, letting players hold buckets of liquid in a compact block.
What it does
Tanks come in twelve vanilla wood types and hold 8 buckets by default. Each tank accepts seven Storage Drawers upgrades, while other upgrades are rejected. A tank run through a Storage Drawers Framing Table becomes a Framed Tank, and only the side material is required, with trim optional. The front face shows the fluid it holds in that fluid's own color.
Filling works from either hand: right-clicking with a fluid container inserts its contents, and shift-right-clicking with an empty hand takes the fluid back out. Opening the tank's interface shows the exact amount stored and its upgrades. Multiplying capacity uses the same tiers and multipliers as the Storage Drawers drawers. Linked Drawers items are a separate set of channels, where each channel holds one item type, and one quarry can be paired with one base so items arrive at it.

Use cases
Fluid storage in a base
Tanks keep larger volumes of fluid in one block, with the stored amount visible in the interface.
Who it’s for: Players who already use Storage Drawers and want fluid storage that matches its upgrade system, and server owners who want the same storage behavior on both sides.
