Large Resource Depot is one of the Buildings in Frostpunk.
Acquisition[ | ]
Large Resource Depot is available after finishing research Large Resource Depot (Technology), then it can be built from Resources tab.
Description[ | ]
Large Resource Depots is a upgrade of the Resource Depot that vastly increase storage capacity of all resources apart from Steam Cores and Prosthetics. Only one type of resource may be stored in each depot. However, while one Large Storage Depot does increase the amount stored, they are also significantly larger. A Large Resource Depot is 4x as large as a regular Resource Depot, costs 3.75x as much, and stores 4x[notes 1] as many of the chosen resource. This makes it essentially a non-upgrade over the regular Resource Depot, as despite costing slightly less, it stores the same number of resources per grid footprint (taking up 4x as much space and storing 4x as many resources). It is also less flexible in placement, as the equivalent 4 regular Resource Depots can be placed in other arrangements than 2x2 square. The Large Resource Depot is also less flexible in resource distribution due to the entire depot containing only a single resource, versus the up to 4 different resources that 4 regular Resource Depots occupying the same grid footprint could contain.
Depots are not manned and suffer no penalty from being unheated, regardless of stored contents. The storage designation of depots may be changed at will. Should the current resources stockpile exceed the newly reduced storage limit, the resources will be retained in excess of the limit, but no new resources of that type may be generated until the current total is below the new lower limit.
Each Large Resource Depot can be chosen to store one of 5400 Coal, 1800 Wood, 1800 Steel, 1800 Raw Food or 1800 Food Rations.

none
Upgrades[ | ]
none - the Large Resource Depot is not affected by the Resource Depot Upgrade (Technology)
Notes[ | ]
- ↑ The storage of the Large Resource Depot is 6x the base size of the regular Resource Depot, but a pre-requisite of researching the Large Resource Depot is the Resource Depot Upgrade (Technology), which does not benefit the Large Resource Depot, making the effective gain only 4x.
