Here, unprocessed minerals are stored. If the storage is full, the extraction of this resource stops. Minerals stored on the planet improperly are lost (deteriorate, stolen) at a rate of 2% per day when the overflow is up to 5%, and thereafter at a rate equal to the overflow percentage per day, with a maximum of 10% per day.
Storage capacity can be increased by hiring the Officer Storekeeper, as well as by the capacity of the Colony Ship.
