Better Barrel

The Better Barrel is a block added by JABBA. It's used to store a large amount of a single item; up to 64 stacks. The capacity can be expanded by the use of Storage upgrades. Other upgrades can also give the barrel different abilities. Structural upgrades add slots for the other upgrades to fit into. Note that the number of "Slots Provided" marked in the tooltip is the total. Other upgrades improve storage and usability and use 1 or more slots.

The barrel can be locked. This sets an item template to prevent any other items from entering even when the barrel is empty. If an empty barrel is locked, it will not accept automatic input until an item is input manually. The barrel can also be moved around, whilst still retaining its inventory, through use of a Dolly.

For automation purposes the barrel can be accessed from any side, though facades (for use with upgrades) can only be applied to sides besides the face.
