Barrels

This page refers to the blocks, for the structure, see Barrel (Structure).

There are six types of barrels in this mod, all of which are quite dangerous (except for the vitrified nuclear waste barrel). Diesel (red/explosive), Kerosene (pink), & LOX can be used as a stand-in for the new barrels as they count as both a fluid container and a block.

Some can contribute to the Custom Nuke's various stages.

Radioactive Barrel
Radioactive barrels are yellow barrels with a radioactive symbol on it. They will cause 5 chunk radiation wherever they are placed. If removed by an explosion, the barrel itself will explode causing a fallout. This is useful for obtaining schrabidium. It is made by surrounding a steel tank with nuclear waste. It can also be found in loot chests and in Desert Atoms. The radioactive waste can be returned, however, the steel barrel is wasted.

Contributes multiplier 1.2 to the custom nuke's salted stage.

LOX Barrel
The LOX barrel can be made by filling a steel tank with 10 buckets of liquid oxygen. It causes a thermal freeze explosion upon being set on fire or exploded, turning blocks around it into their frozen versions. It currently has a bug where the block is not destroyed when it explodes.

IMP Residue Barrel
The IMP Residue Barrel is currently unobtainable in survival mode. When set on fire or exploded, it explodes releasing a few taint blocks. It is not a good idea to leave these taint blocks there for any time at all if you don't want your world ruined. It currently has a bug where the block is not destroyed when it explodes.

Explosive Barrel
The explosive barrel is just that; an explosive barrel. It will create a regular explosion upon being on fire or being exploded. It can be created by filling a steel tank with 10 buckets of diesel.

Contributes 2.5 to the custom nuke's TNT stage.

Kerosene Barrel
The kerosene barrel acts in the exact same way as the Explosive Barrel. It can be created by filling a steel tank with 10 buckets of (you guessed it!) kerosene.

Contributes 4 to the custom nuke's TNT stage.

Vitrified Nuclear Waste Drum
A bit more expensive than the radioactive barrel, but it is somewhat safer as a means of waste disposal. It increments the chunk radiation by 5 when placed. The waste cannot be extracted afterward unlike the regular waste barrel.
