Storage

Mines and the blast furnace only have a small storage of their own. When it is full and no storage building has room, they stop. That makes storage a must as soon as your production is running.

Three slots per building

Every storage building has 3 slots of 2,000 t each. You choose which resource goes into a slot as long as it is empty. A new storage building is completely empty. Plan the slots around your production: pig iron and metal fill up the fastest.

• No power and no running costs.
• Special finds such as rubies and artifacts are not kept in storage but in your vault, which has no limit.
• Research in the research lab makes every slot bigger.

Selling surplus

You sell surplus straight from storage via the highway. The prices are deliberately below the production costs: 1 t of pig iron only brings 18 $, 1 t of plasma steel 11,802 $. So selling is not a business, but it keeps your mines running while you hope for rare finds.
