Space Station Requester Warehouse

The Space Station Requester Warehouse is a logistics building used for moving goods between the colony and the Space Station, especially Firmarlite Bars. Its main limitation is that Transport Ships will not take a mission to service it unless there is enough free space inside the warehouse. Because of this, the building can become a bottleneck if it is allowed to fill up.

To keep it operating at maximum efficiency, the warehouse should be emptied as quickly as possible. If it stays too full, incoming Transport Ships will wait idle instead of continuing to deliver or collect cargo. In practice, placing 8 or 12 unloaders around the Space Station Requester Warehouse helps prevent those idle periods and keeps ship traffic moving.

• Transport Ships only undertake a mission to serve the warehouse when there is sufficient free storage space available.
• A full warehouse slows throughput, because ships cannot begin the next delivery cycle until space has been cleared.
• Using 8 or 12 unloaders around the building helps it empty faster and reduces the chance of ship idling.
• Maximum throughput depends on a 2-second cycle, with ships split between bringing items up to the Space Station for sale and bringing Firmarlite Bars back down.

Because the warehouse depends on available space to trigger new transport missions, it should be treated as a high-priority output point rather than a passive storage container. If the surrounding logistics network cannot clear it quickly enough, the entire shipping chain loses efficiency. Keeping the output side clear is therefore the key to maintaining steady traffic and avoiding interruptions in Firmarlite Bar production and delivery.
