Oil barrel for storing stuff and various liquids in large volumes. Used to catch water or craft things over time. In-game description
The Oil Barrel is a large, persistent storage container which usually spawns in industrial areas and sheds. Due to its size and weight, it can only be carried with your hands and has a lid which you can open or close.
Current Uses[ | ]
- As a container to store items.
- As a container to store gasoline or water.
- Liquids can be stored additionally, no matter if items are stored inside. But beware: when storing items together with liquids, they will instantly get wet.
- If left open in the outside, it will slowly start storing rainwater.
- Liquids can be poured into and drained out of the barrel using another container (e.g. Plastic Bottle, Canteen, etc.)
- As cooking place when converted into a fire barrel (see for details).

NOTE: Once a barrel has been converted to a Barrel with Holes, it cannot be reverted back into a normal barrel and loses its functionality in terms of crafting and liquid storage.
