Dry-bulk Storage

Dry-bulk storages are storages for storing raw materials/dry-bulks useful for the production of semi-finished products in Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.

Background

Dry-bulk storage refers to the storage of goods that do not require refrigeration or temperature control, such as grains, ores and coal. These materials are typically stored in large quantities in specialized facilities like silos, warehouses, or storage tanks. Dry-bulk storage plays a crucial role in various industries, including agriculture, mining, construction, and manufacturing. It allows for efficient handling, transportation, and distribution of bulk goods. Proper storage conditions are essential to prevent spoilage, contamination, or degradation of the stored materials. Advanced technology, such as automated handling systems and moisture control, is often employed to optimize dry-bulk storage operations.

Gameplay

Dry-bulk storages are placed by the player near plants with dry-bulk in- or output, dry-bulk storages and/or near road/rail loading/unloading stations. Each Dry-bulk storage can only store one kind of dry-bulk which has to be assigned by the player. Dry-bulk can be delivered to the dry-bulk storage by using dry-bulk tank trucks or by using conveyor belts.

Dry-bulks

The following dry-bulk resources can be stored in dry-bulk storage:

• Cement
• Aluminium oxide

Transportation

Dry-bulk must be transported by using dry-bulk tank trucks, train cement tanks and via conveyor belts.
