[[File:Storage2.jpg|left|frameless]][[File:StorageFacilitiy.png‎|right|Storage Facility Window]]A Storage Facility is a relatively cheap way to make a buffer to hold resources or product prior to being converted or shipped to orbit. However, unless you really have substantial logistical needs on your planet, you might be better off relying on your Command Center or a Launchpad. Storage facilities originally held 5000 m3 (as in the picture) but that was increased to 12,000 m3 in the Crucible 1.1 patch making Storage Facilities more useful.

Instead of routing straight from your Extractors to Processors (at a potential risk of waste) you can first route to Storage, then route from Storage to Processor. One issue is that you cannot use routes to transfer between ~~different~~ Storage - so if ~~your goal is~~ to export a commodity, you'll want to route it straight to the Command Center or a Launchpad.

One issue is that you cannot use routes to transfer between a Storage Facility and a building that is not a Processor - so if you want to export a commodity, you'll want to route it straight to the Command Center or a Launchpad.

If you do end up needing to move something between Storage, you can use the "Expedited Transfer" option under the Storage icon on either Storage Facilities, Launchpads, or Command Centers. Simply move the goods you want to be part of the transfer to the center panel. ~~Note that while~~ this option costs no ISK, it does have a cooldown!<br style="clear: both" />
