I've been going back and forth trying to decide whether building storage facilities is a good thing or a bad thing and I'm still not sure of the correct ratio of mineral vs organics vs radioactive.

I can see that having 'money-in-the-bank' is a good thing if you need to build a fleet or two relatively quickly and need the resources but if you never allow your resources to drop into the 'red' (minus) - is storage still useful?

Then - where do you build them? I've been putting them on small/tiny non-breathable worlds and on moons, hardly ever on breathables. Secondly - when do you start building them and how soon do you upgrade same?

Which brings up the third question: does mothballing use storage space on a planet?
