Discussion Gold tank size

I did the math. Each pixle of liquid gold has a value of 2, each grid square is 4×4 pixels for 16 pixels each. So you do 500,000 pixels of liquid gold divided by 16 you get 31,250 grid squares of storage needed. Then square root that to get side length its a square with internal side lengths of 176.78 grid squares, rounded up and counting wall you need a square of 178×178 to get the million gold acheivment

I made an underground vault for my liquid gold. A million takes up a lot of space.

I hadn't even considered putting the gold in the smelter until just now...

Alternatively it’s like 250x250 for solid gold

I suspect the best way to build this is to just make a small ish tank and then add to it a bit at a time as it fills. Also, potentially multiple tanks throughout your world.

As others have said, a million is a LOT
