Overview

  • Storages/Stack: a stack is the basic element to store items.
  • Storages/Chests: the most obvious storage.
    • smart chest
    • logistic chests
      • usage of the storage chest
  • Vehicle: vehicles can store a significant amount of items
  • Transport belts/Use as storage: The amount of items on a transport belt can be astonishing high, calculate with 7 items per tile! Especially at train stations and in production streets this must be taken into account. Splitters and underground belts can be also used as storage. Splitters have a special behavior, which makes them well useable as storage at train stations (fast in, slow out), while underground belts don't take away space.
