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	Cargo Docks
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.
