Resource Dens
Resource Dens increases finite metal, crystal and deuterium storage across your empire.
Quick stats
| Effect at level 1 | Bonus |
|---|---|
| Resource storage capacity | +5% |
This is an active storage technology in 3.0, not a retired no-effect entry. It multiplies storage after the ordinary building and Industry Technology calculation. Commerce storage upgrades apply separately afterward. It does not generate resources or protect extra raid loot.
Cost and access
Available from level 0 without a lab or research prerequisite. Level 1 costs 16 base RP; later levels grow exponentially before any other-domain tier surcharge. The Research screen shows the current quote and saved funding.
Purchase a completed level immediately with RP, or use automatic investment. Metal, crystal and deuterium are not research payments in 3.0. Physical Research Labs increase RP income, not purchase speed.
Each fifth level adds another initial amount before compounding the bonus itself by 1%. See tier progression.
When to invest
Research it when capacity is limiting several stations. Upgrade the appropriate storage building for a larger local increase; use Defense Technology when your goal is raid protection.
