Crystal Storage is a facitily that stores unprocessed crystals from your mines.

Once the capacity is used up, no more crystal may be harvested by the crystal mines. The storage capacity can be seen by clicking the resources-page, viewing the detailed description by clicking on the name in the buildings page, or it can be calculated with the following formula:

$StorageCapacity = 100,000 + 50,000 * ( RoundUp(1.6^{Level}) -1 )$

Note: New universes have changed the rules a lot. On those universes, initial resource limit is 10,000. The first storage costs 1,000 Metal and 500 Crystal and enchances the limit to 20,000, the second to 40,000 and so on. The formula for storage capacity there is

$StorageCapacity=5,000*Int(2.5*e^{\frac {20*Level}{33}})$

The formula for cost (Redesigned) is:

$Metal=500*2^{NewLevel}$

$Crystal=250*2^{NewLevel}$

There is no known maximum in Redesigned Universes. Resource caps are for production purposes, and trading with Dark Matter.
