Best way to store energy long-term? : r/Oxygennotincluded

Solids are easier to store than liquids and gasses. A storage bin takes 2 tiles (3 if you include the floor) and stores 20 tons (6,666 kg per tile if you include the floor). So coal and wood storage is vastly simpler and denser than the alternative. Coal and Wood power is also significantly simpler. Dupes can simply carry the fuel, no need for
