Industrialization Warehouse
Industrialization transformed commerce into a logistical science. The goods depot is a purpose-built distribution hub organized around the railway siding and the steam crane: goods arrive in standardized crates, are catalogued by manifest, sorted by destination, and dispatched with precision that earlier warehouses never achieved. The great goods sheds of Manchester, Hamburg, and Chicago — some covering entire city blocks — were the physical infrastructure of the industrial economy, the point where raw production met organized distribution. In the game the goods depot provides the largest storage capacity of the industrial era, boosts production output at adjacent workshops, and generates steady transit income. Build it centrally — a depot at the hub of your road and rail network feeds every workshop it serves; one isolated at the frontier serves only the enemy who captures it.
