Metal warehouse
Determines how much metal your planet can hold. Once it's full, your blast furnace stops.

Without a warehouse a planet holds 100,000 metal, and every level of your Metal warehouse doubles that. When it's full, your Blast furnace produces nothing more – particularly annoying for the most important building material in the game.
Metal is needed in huge amounts: for the Development center, the Microsystem accelerator and large fleets. For example, level 2 of the Microsystem accelerator already costs one million metal – to fit that into storage you need at least level 4. Size your warehouse for your next big projects.
Background
The metal warehouse allows the storage of large amounts of metal. Each level doubles the storage capacity. If the storage capacity is reached, the production will idle.
