Open Storage

Open storages are storages for storing intermediate resources for the production of products in Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.

Background

Open storage refers to a designated area, typically outdoors, utilized for the temporary or long-term storage of various resources such as steel, prefabricated panels, bricks, and other construction materials. These areas are often organized and accessible for easy retrieval and transportation. Open storage facilities play a crucial role in logistics and construction industries, providing ample space for stockpiling materials while allowing for efficient inventory management and distribution. They are essential for accommodating large quantities of goods, facilitating construction projects, and ensuring smooth supply chain operations.

Gameplay

Open storages are placed by the player near production sites. Each open storage can store several kinds of resources. Open storage resources can be delivered to the open storage by using open hull trucks or by using Forklifts via Factory connections.

Open storage resources

The following resources can be stored in open storage:

• Steel
• Prefab panels
• Bricks
• Wood
• Boards
• Aluminium
• Uranium oxide
• Plastic waste

Transportation

Open storage resources can be transported in open hull trucks, railway open cars and with Forklifts via Factory connections.
