Nightwater Storage Guide

Use storage to make Nightwater's production flow easier to inspect. A buffer before a processor reveals supply behavior; a destination after it can reveal blocked output. Choose each unit's upstream and downstream job before connecting it. The store confirms storage as an automation role, but does not publish capacities or priority rules. Read those from your current game, and treat a buffer as a diagnostic choice rather than a mandatory stage in every chain.

Buffer the uncertain handoff

Place storage where it tells you whether gathering keeps up or processed output moves away. More storage everywhere can hide where the interruption begins.

Production flow →

Interpret stock with its neighbors

An empty buffer may mean weak supply or strong consumption. A filling buffer may mean healthy production or a blocked consumer. Check the adjacent stage before changing capacity.

Recheck after a move

The store says moving or deconstructing preserves items. It does not promise that old connections stay functional. Inspect both receiving and sending handoffs after a layout change.

Moving buildings →

Put the plan to work

Create source, building and storage nodes, connect the flow, record observed rates and find disconnected stages.
