Empty Barrels

[Ampoliros 43]

This is a suggestion to add a multi-use storage/utility item: An Empty Barrel.

They would need to be heavy and take up multiple slots in inv, if not your backpack or primary slot.

Uses:

General Storage: Acts like a Tent, with fewer spaces for some items and more for others.

Fill it with Wood: longer lasting fireplace that doesn't give off as much light. Same amount of smoke. Would be safer to use in permanent campsites.

Fill it with Water: Acts like a temporary well. If coding allows, Rain will fill it (slowly)

Fill it with Fuel: Holds more fuel than a Jerry Can and can be used to refill them. Perhaps combine with Fuel tank parts to increase fuel tank size on vehicles at cost of storage. Tends to explode when shot.

Fill it with sand and use it to block doorways or make roadblocks.

Filled barrels would need to be emptied or perhaps require a vehicle to move.

I think I've seen it mentioned elsewhere on occasion, but a search brought up no dedicated thread.

I like the idea, but oil barrels are pretty heavy with nothing in them, filled with sand or water would make them pretty much immobile.

Very nice idea, i love it.

You must use a vehicle to move them. Its a great idea for the camps.
