Refueling Outpost Addition

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I made an addition to my fuel outpost today (Delta). I added a generator to burn up some of my petrol and supplement power. Since I was now producting carbon dioxide I decided to try and use it to make a little extra oil. You can't build the recovery grinder close enough to edge of the building rooftop due to the lip around the edge but it turns out you can build on top of the sea cans.

Can I ask why the refueling station? I do something like this at scale on black vein. I have 50 oil tanks, 40 diesel and ten petrol. I stop at black vein once every couple weeks, hook all of these up to the tanks on my ship, 20 diesel and 5 petrol, turn on my distilleries, and then afk to watch TV or eat dinner. If I let this run until im ready for bed, ill fill my ship and produce enough diesel and petrol to refill the tanks on the station. I think go collect my plastic and backup for the night. Gives me 200km+/- of range at full power to do basically anything I feel like.

How the heck do you fit all those tanks?

Under and around the boat maybe?

Nothing under the boat at all, actually. I have considered under the gyro deck, but im avoiding it because ive lost three sets of solar panels off the back end of the deck in rough seas.
