The main problem with stock storage facilities is not how much they store compared to the base/minimum per empire.

Their problem is that they do not store much compared to how many resources you get from an extractor.
Instead of storing a couple turns worth to spend once, you could replace that storage facility with an extractor and get more resources to spend ALL the time.

In Carrier Battles mod, I increased the storage per facility to 200k. Now it actually has a considerable benefit compared to an extractor... You can have 1000 minerals each and every turn, or you might want 200 turns worth of storage for emergency spending all at once.
