Overview

Warehouses are used throughout the game for purposes such as:

• Collecting resources from multiple mining facilities
• Load and unload storage for trucks and trains
• Supplying and receiving product via conveyor belts for production lines

There are two types of warehouses:

• Warehouse
  • Small
    • Storage Capacity = 58
  • Large
    • Storage Capacity = 115
  • Loading time = 0.58s (1.7 p/s) (103.4 p/m)
• Warehouse II
  • Small
    • Storage Capacity = 86
  • Large
    • Storage Capacity = 172
  • Loading time = 0.43s (2.3 p/s) (139.5 p/m)

Placement / Connections

• A warehouses connects to surrounding buildings that are logistically connected, such as mines and freight stations
• These logistic connections are automatically created and require no additional physical infrastructure for them to be connected, they just need to be within the allowed range of each other
• In the screenshot above you can see the warehouse is able to connect to all four mines and the two freight stations

• In the screenshot above you can see that the warehouse can connect to ALL coal mines and freight stations
  • In the previous screenshot you can also see that Tenterfield Transfer does NOT have a logistics connection to the furthermost coal mine
  • This is one of the strengths of warehouses, they can collect cargo that is out of reach of the freight stations and supply it to them

What A Warehouse CANNOT Do

• Warehouses CANNOT supply goods to businesses via logistic connections, these MUST be supplied via transport
  • This can be confusing initially when using trains, use the train to transport goods to a warehouse and then vehicles / smaller trains to transport the goods to the businesses
