An ore tank is a unique class of tanks that are empty by default in editor as used to store ore mined from a planetary body using a resource harvester, instead of propellant for the engines. The ore has no serious financial value of the ore, but can be used to produce fuel with converter and vast amount of electricity. These tanks store the ore temporally from exploitation till conversion. Ore tanks were introduced in version 1.0. As of version 1.0.5 there are three Ore Tanks, the Large Holding Tank, the Small Holding Tank and the Radial Holding Tank.
