Resource Depot Upgrade is one of the Technologies in Frostpunk.
Summary[]
Having +50% capacity essentially means you can build 2 Depots instead of each 3, so allows you to save 1/3 of the resources and, more importantly, also 1/3 of the space needed for storage. While large depots by themselves aren't usually worth researching and building, this research arguably is. For some unknown reason, be it bug or conscious developer decision, this tech always takes 8h to research, instead of e.g. 6 on Easy and 14 on Extreme (in The Last Autumn this is not the case, it has the regular research time).
While the difference in obviously unimportant as a penalty on Easy anyway, it's quite noticable as a big bonus on Extreme/Survivor, making this one of the go-to techs there, since the amount of time required for researching it is negligible in comparison with other Extreme techs, and the resource cost is easily offset on even a single Depot standing (note that a Depot costs 40/20, so 50% of its capacity costs 20/10, the same as cost of this research).
