− | + | '''Barrels''' are storage units that, like [[bins]] and [[bags]], conserve stockpile space by containing 10 items of the same type (for exceptions, see the ''Mix Food'' and ''Storage Quirk'' sections). They can be made out of [[wood]] or [[metal]]. Making a barrel from wood requires one [[log]], and making a barrel from metal requires three [[bar|bars]] of the same type. | |

A [[stack]] of items does not take up any less space than unstacked individual items, but a [[bag]] counts as only a single item - thus, a single barrel can hold up to 1,000 seeds distributed evenly between 10 bags, but a single stack of 5 plump helmets takes up just as much room as 5 individual, unstacked plump helmets. If a stack contains more than 10 items, it will not be placed into a barrel. While different types of food can be placed in the same barrel (if "Mix food" is enabled), a barrel containing a liquid (other than booze) will only be used to store additional quantities of the same liquid. |
