Metal Storage
Overview
The Metal Storage protects metal resources from raiding. Resources above your storage capacity are unprotected and can be stolen in their entirety. Resources within capacity are protected — attackers can only loot a maximum of 50% of your stored resources (10% on débris fields).

Tips
Build Before Going Offline
Always check your storage before logging off for a long period. Resources overflow storage and become fully lootable.
Match Your Income
A rule of thumb: your storage should hold at least 24–48 hours of mine production. That way a few missed log-ins don't leave half your income exposed.
