Cargo ordering watertanks: Is this a joke 2?

[Aphelion]

Ok

So, as a roboticist, sometimes there is a bounty for a whopping 2000 credits if I can pull off producing three farmbots.

Farmbots require watertanks, of which there are few of on the station unless I decide to scrounge through maint. The sensible solution here is to order the watertanks from cargo valued at about 45 credits each.

For some reason Watertanks are listed under engineering items, instead of hydroponics; what's more, for some reason watertanks come in a lockbox. Presumably because it's listed under engineering, you need engineering access to unlock the water-tank box.

Is water contraband?

What does engineering use the water for?

Is Nanotrasen anti-hydration?

Are you sure?
 

Code-wise it seems to be assigned to the hydroponics listy. And it isn't contraband.

 

/datum/supply_packs/watertank
    name = "Water tank crate"
    contains = list(/obj/structure/reagent_dispensers/watertank)
    cost = 8
    containertype = /obj/structure/largecrate
    containername = "water tank crate"
    group = "Hydroponics"

I will look again. But I'm fairly certain. Will update once I've looked.

Cargo stuff is handled by an external database, I will take a look on removing watertank access.

To clarify those two things, they used to be used for fire extinguishers as foam didn't exist.
