Barrel

The engineer begins with this item, but others can find one or craft one with 2x Lead Ingot and 3x Stick.

Uses
When thrown a barrel will deal 1/3 of someone's health as damage.

A barrel can hold 3 coal or 30 gunpowder.

In a pinch a barrel can be used as fuel for warmth structures or the boiler.

A barrel's weight is set no matter if it is empty or full, so if you are carrying one always place your coal or gunpowder into it.

A barrel full of coal can added to the boiler to add all the coal inside plus the barrels power. This does consume the barrel however.

A barrel full of even a single gunpowder creates a barrel bomb.

Barrel Bomb
When dropped on the ground, a barrel with gunpowder can be lit by interacting with lid then the cracked square icon.


 * This will begin a 10 second timer before the barrel bomb blows.

A barrel bomb can be defused by taking a single piece of gunpowder out of each slot that has gunpowder in it.

A barrel bomb opens holes in the ship equal to the number of gunpowder in the barrel.

The barrel can hold 30 pieces of powder but the ship can only have 20 holes.

The barrel bomb, once lit, can be instantly exploded by damaging it, such as throwing an item at it.

The barrel bomb with any number of powder can be used to destroy small ice bergs, and with 40 powder can destroy the large iceberg in place of nitroglycerin.

The damage a barrel bomb deals is proportional to the amount of powder in it, however the area of damage is very small and likely only going to hit someone trying to defuse it.


 * Because of this, it is not recommended to use as a weapon, unless used to slow or blow up chasing crew through correct timing.

Damage
When standing next to a Barrel Bomb explosion,


 * 9 Gunpowder will down someone with full health.
 * 16 Gunpowder will instantly kill someone with full health.
