What we know

Modular warehouses can specialize in the four cargo categories. ↗

They allow central freight hubs with player-controlled distribution. ↗

Cargo still needs onward delivery; storage does not fulfill town demand by itself. ↗

A hub can absorb uneven arrivals. A persistent surplus still fills storage.
From information to action

How to approach the decision

Editorial planning advice based on the confirmed systems above.

  1. Compare inbound and outbound rates over the same period.
  2. Keep a buffer for uneven arrivals and inspect onward compatibility.
  3. Use overflow time to decide whether storage or outbound service needs attention.

A mistake to avoid

Adding storage only delays overflow when inbound flow permanently exceeds outbound flow.
