## Setup

**How do I change the language?**

Set `Config.Locale` to the desired locale code:

**shared/config.lua**

```lua
Config.Locale = 'en'
```

**How do I disable the 3D circle UI above tanks?**

**shared/config.lua**

```lua
Config.ENABLE_DUI = false
```

Tank interactions remain available via target/TextUI, but the animated fill indicator is hidden.

## Mechanics

**Why do my tanks keep disappearing?**

`Config.DELETE_OLD_DAYS` auto-deletes inactive tanks after a set number of days. Set to `false` to disable. Use `Config.DELETE_OPTIONS` to only delete empty or broken tanks:

**shared/config.lua**

```lua
Config.DELETE_OLD_DAYS = false -- disable auto-deletion
```

**How does rain filling work?**

Tanks with a liquid type listed in `Config.RainyFillableTypes` accumulate liquid during rain. The amount per cycle is set by `rainFillAmount` on each container type. Disable globally with:

**shared/config.lua**

```lua
Config.EnableRainCollection = false
```

**How does tank durability work?**

Tanks lose health based on `decayRate` every 60 seconds. At 0 health the tank is broken and cannot be used until repaired. Configure `repairItems` on each container type to define which items restore durability.

**Can players pick up placed tanks?**

Yes. The owner can dismantle a tank to get the item back, but all liquid inside is lost. Fixed tanks defined in `Config.FixedTanks` cannot be dismantled.

## Jerry Cans

**How do jerry cans work?**

Jerry cans store dynamic fluid amounts via item metadata. Define accepted liquid types and capacity per item in `Config.JerryCans`. The inventory system must support item metadata for this feature.

## Updates

**How do I update the script?**

1. Download latest from CFX Portal
2. Backup `shared/config.lua` and `server/config_server.lua`
3. Replace all files except config
4. Restart the resource

Database migrations run automatically on startup. Tank data (position, health, liquid level) is preserved.
