Storage tanks stores commodities for later use. It can be configured to fetch a single commodity type from all connected buildings. Storage tanks store commodities that would typically exist in liquid or gas state.
Commodities stored in storage tanks are made available to all other connected buildings that need them. For example factory buildings will fetch commodities from a storage tank to run their manufacturing lines, and brokers will sell wares and fill shipments with commodities stored in storage tanks.
A storage tank cannot be set to fetch solid and dry commodities, those are only handled by warehouses.
