📦 Warehouse
Stores raw resources and crafted components.
Strategic role
Increase storage before saving for an expensive upgrade or leaving production unattended. Capacity does not generate resources, so balance storage investment against productive fields and spending your reserves.
Requirements and progression
To establish this building, you need 🏛️ Main Building level 1.
For later upgrades, the Main Building must also reach the target level. The level table shows the resource and time investment before bonuses.
Direct building dependencies: 🏭 Fabricator (level 2 required here); 🏪 Trade Hub (level 3 required here).
Power planning
The building definition has no direct structural or active power upkeep. Check the powered extractors, crafting and recruitment that support its use when planning the wider grid.
📸 Screenshot wanted: the Warehouse detail panel in a colony (level, upgrade cost and its main controls visible). If the building has a Race name, one shot per Race is ideal.
