Warehouse and Storage Tank Tweak

[Rockinsince87]

You would just need to make sure that one warehouse can link to multiple buildings of the same type throughout the star system, and to brokers (otherwise you would be making some of their key conveniences less useful).

Not sure the idea about having warehouses link to other workshops outside of a city is a good idea. Logistic management is really a key component of the strategy game play for Hazeron. In the end the shipyard or hub and spoke manufacturing center strategy would greatly befit from this. 

Intra-System warehouse connections don't make sense later on in the game. Also back in the day, you were able to control the imports in system using the brokers. The "levels" (jobs now) was the % imported per cycle. It caused all kinds of havoc if you built too many colonies and did not plan this out. Example, it was possible to import too much on your "main" colony in that system and rob them of vital things like air and food. Best to leave the intra-system alone. Perhaps it's not prefect but right now Haxus has it running smoothly.

However, I do like the idea of having the broker exploit warehouses. Right now you can ship goods to a city and that's it. So, why not make it so you can link brokers to warehouses too; assign a single broker to a single warehouse 1:1. All shipments leaving the remote colony pull form the warehouse and on the receiving end, if that broker has any assigned warehouses then goods are stored across all warehouses, then dispersed across the city/system. If no warehouse is assigned then it uses the current logic meaning any excess materials that cannot be stored are lost. Include a serious time penalty on workshops/brokers trying to pull goods from a warehouse by requiring an SUV or multiple SUVs (or something). This makes vehicle infrastructure vital in your colonies, (just like in real life)


Please feel free to pick this apart, I feel like I went a bit too far with this one.
