Massive money in Build Storage.

Thought I'd just give a heads up to those that don't realise how much volume can be collected in Build Stores over time.

Since the beginning of the X4, I've been tailoring my stations to suit the supply and demand of the economy. So, when a station's selling heaps of one thing I've added modules to cope, and vice-versa, reduced other modules when supply of product has been sitting in store for long periods (would be nice to just be able to switch on or off a module like in X3, or was it X2). I've also gone through many phases of having massive stations to lots of smaller stations and back and forwards over time.

I hadn't noticed until recently, the incredibly massive volumes of wares in Build Storage collected, I'm not just talking about a few thousand cubic metres of this and that, but TENS OF MILLIONS of cubic metres. Over some weeks, I've spent a lot of time having large Incarcaturas' transfer mega volumes to saleable facilities, and it really seems inexhaustible. I've had to add a lot of storage capacity to stations to hold this stuff until it sells.

I'm on my last facility now, the Head Quarters. At one stage it was truly massive (imo) with a Hull around 70,000kMJ or so, and now relatively small. After considerable time with goods transfers I've got the build storage down to around 7 million cubic metres.

I'd recommend anyone that hasn't kept tabs on the volumes in these stores to check it out.

tired of waiting for modules to build I often check the storage of my build storage, you can check by going to your station build screen and from the menu on the right you can view the resources that have been stored.
