Chemical Barrels

Description
Allows you to store chemfuel and toxic waste in barrels. These barrels will not decay on their own, however they may explode if damaged, spreading pollution or fire. You can deconstruct these barrels to retrieve the contents stored inside. Each barrel contains a stack of the chemical stored inside.

These barrels are not completely fireproof, so be careful with your placement of them. Keeping all your pollution stored away stable in a cave somewhere is all fun and games until an infestation destroys them all.

Known Issues:
Minified objects do not explode when destroyed, meaning you can remove pollution from your map by uninstalling barrels and destroying them. This seems to be the default behavior for minified items but I am looking for a work around.

I intend to add more features, like adding barrels to the ruins that may spawn on a map tile, but for now it is functional.

give that a wall costs 5 stuff and these barrels don't actually solve the problem of the waste, i've reduced the stuff cost of them down to 5 in my runs. if you end up updating for 1.5, you might consider stuffing the barrels as well for better protection or just swag (gold toxic waste barrels)

i believe there is a imbalance issue. explode create a 29 tile pollution when pumped this will only yield 4 waste bag resulting in 1 net waste bag lost. you are basically paying 40 steel to get ride off 1 waste bag.

@Erop "I considered making them non-minifiable but I like having the option to build them near your stockpiles and then moving them to where they need to be. I figure if people want to use it to cheat, they could have done that in dev mode anyway, so until I discover a workaround I don't mind that bug so much." - Vent

@Vent You can easily avoid your only issue, by making barrels impossible to uninstall.

@AdeptofSlaanesh and @Ether I am not very knowledgeable of modding beyond XML but I'll see if I can implement those changes.

@Holgast Feel free to use my textures, they are just recolors of the empty barrels from the base game that you can find in ruins and such.

Could I use your texture in another mod? Sometime I'd like to make a toxic waste pipe system

Can you add a configurable quantity of materials used for constructing the barrels?
