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: You can exceed your storage capacity by transporting resources to the planet.
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.
