transfer and combine lamp oil
AFAIK condition of lamp oil Neither change nor relevant to the Performace.

so why we cannot combine them, transfer them?

also why we have to dismantle any lantern to get the fuel out?

please make this quality of life improvements in the next update.

Because the devs didn't think it would be necessary? I would suspect that since the initial lantern fuel was kerosene, an irreplaceable fuel, that the devs didn't think it would be necessary to transfer fuel between containers, so no provision was made for it.

Then they changed lantern fuel to lamp oil and provided a way to get more. Since Story mode, even with lamp oil, was not going to provide the character with large amounts to justify transferring from container to container or even emptying extra lanterns for the fuel (they probably assumed it would be harvested) they didn't see a need to revisit fuel transfers.

I and many others would like to be able to move lamp oil around, I like the nice big 4 liter jerry cans, but that issue has not been revisited by the devs and (imo) unlikely to be revisited until story mode concludes.

thanks for the great explanation, I hope devs could do something about it. because there are a lot of people love to see it implemented. besides it's not a big deal to make it so programming wise.

At least add 'lamp fuel' to the list of items you get when harvesting the lamp, because the first time I did it, I had no idea I'd also harvest the oil (though yeah, it makes sense realistically, but realism isn't always respected in videogames, not even in TLD).
