Loose Module (L)

Loose Module (L)

T3

Cargo depot module for transferring loose materials (such as Bauxite). It can be built in any empty slot of a cargo depot. Unloads cargo 120% faster comparing to the basic module.

Construction	120
Workers	5
Electricity	250 KW
Maintenance	4.0 / 60
Footprint	10x5
Cargo	Sulfur or Quartz or Uranium Ore
Storage	720
Required Research	Cargo Depot III
Designation	Logistics
Variants	Loose Module (S) Loose Module (M)

The Loose Module (M) is a medium-capacity storage for loose products which automatically unloads Cargo Ships. It features storage for 720 units and two output connections for U-shape Conveyors (or their variants).

The throughput of unloading the compartment of a Cargo Ship with this module is 360 / 60 . This rate can be matched with one U-shape Conveyor III or two U-shape Conveyor II. It should be noted that ship transit and docking also take time:

• 180 (3.0 months) for round trip if "Reduce ship speed & save fuel" is disabled
• 360 (6.0 months) for round trip if "Reduce ship speed & save fuel" is enabled

("Reduce ship speed & save fuel" is a setting in Cargo Depot)

• 10 (5 days) for docking and undocking

The summarized information is shown in the below table.
