The '''Unit Module (M)''' is a small-capacity [[:Category:Storage|storage]] for [[:Category:Unit products|unit products]] which automatically unloads [[Cargo Ship]]s. It features storage for 360 units and two output connections for [[Flat Conveyor]]s (or their variants).

Unloading the compartment of a Cargo Ship with this module takes 52 [[time|days]] (104 s) which equates to 103.8 units /60s. This rate can be matched with one [[Flat Conveyor II]] or two Flat Conveyors. It should be noted that the round trip ship transit time (from one undocking to the next docking) is exactly 3 months. At 142 days (284 s) per circuit, this equates to an average throughput of 38.0 units /60s or almost less than half the throughput of one Flat Conveyor.

==Resource selection==
After construction, Cargo Dock modules require the desired cargo to be set in the module's UI window. However, as of {{version|ver=Beta 0.3.10}} there is only one unit product cargo available, {{infoicon|Wood}}, so it is automatically selected for the player once the [[Sawmill]] has been discovered, repaired, and staffed with {{infoicon|Worker|ui=yes|plural=s}}.

The cargo selection of adjacent modules, and even the types of modules themselves, can be mixed-and-matched as desired. It should be noted that modules which share a Cargo Dock are frequently built in identical pairs for ease of [[Cargo Ship]] management. As a Cargo Ship will wait idle for several months before venturing back out if not fully unloaded, mixing of module types can result in a situation where the ship waits for extended periods for the less-utilized cargo type to be empty before departing, causing reduced throughput or shortages of the more-utilized cargo type.

==Module throughput vs resource extraction==
Given the average throughput with the [[Cargo Ship]] round trip time factored in is 38.0 units /60s and the Sawmill produces at a rate of 27 units /60s, the following comparisons can be made:

* One small Cargo Dock module can continuously outpace production from a 1-shift [[outposts|outpost]] (at 71.1% duty cycle)
* Two small Cargo Dock module can continuously outpace production from a 2-shift outpost (at 71.1% duty cycle)
* Three small Cargo Dock modules can continuously outpace production from a 3-shift outpost (at 71.1% duty cycle)
