Ore Warehouse
The Ore Warehouse allows you to keep larger amounts of ore on a planet. When the amount of ore on a planet exceeds your storage capacity, your mines will no longer produce ore. By upgrading the Ore Warehouse facility you can keep your mines producing even longer.
Note: There is no limit to how much ore you can have on a planet, but once the storage capacity of the Ore Warehouse is exceeded no more ore is produced by mining. Additional ore can be transported/deployed/raided/harvested and added to the ore already present, with no limits.
Costs and Capacities
The cost for storage tanks double with each level.
The formula for capacity is as follows:
Capacity = 50,000 * [(RoundUp(1.6Level))+1]
Table
| Level | Ore Cost | Capacity | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start | N/A | 100,000 | N/A |
| 1 | 2,000 | 150,000 | 50,000 |
| 2 | 4,000 | 200,000 | 50,000 |
| 3 | 8,000 | 300,000 | 100,000 |
| 4 | 16,000 | 400,000 | 100,000 |
| 5 | 32,000 | 600,000 | 200,000 |
| 6 | 64,000 | 900,000 | 300,000 |
| 7 | 128,000 | 1,400,000 | 500,000 |
| 8 | 256,000 | 2,200,000 | 800,000 |
| 9 | 512,000 | 3,500,000 | 1,300,000 |
| 10 | 1,024,000 | 5,500,000 | 2,000,000 |
There is no maximum level of storage tanks. Capacities and costs increase as per the formula above. Note that, while storage capacity grows exponentially (~60% per level), the cost of expending your warehouse doubles (100% per level); cost of expansion exceeds the increase in size at level 14, and exceeds overall capacity at level 18.
