The '''warehouse''' is a structure that can be built on a [[Covenant]] [[Covenant Citadel|Citadel]].{{Ref/Site|Id=hwsite|URL=http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Citadel.aspx#Warehouse|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Warehouse|D=18|M=11|Y=2010|LocalArchive=Archive:Halowars.com/Covenant#Warehouse}}

The '''Warehouse''' is a [[Covenant]] structure featured only in [[Halo Wars]].


==Overview==
The Warehouse is a Covenant building used for collecting/processing resources. It can be built onto any unused [[Covenant]] or Neutral plot, for 100 resources where it brings down supplies from orbit to Covenant bases via gravity lift, from which workers move the supplies to the proper area for further use by the Covenant commander. At tech level 1 it can be upgraded to a Blessed Warehouse for 225 resources to allow for faster collection of resources.  It is the Covenant equivalent of the UNSC [[Supply Pad]].  <ref>http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Citadel.aspx#Warehouse</ref>
The Warehouse is a Covenant structure where resources are brought down from [[Covenant starship|starships]] and [[space station]]s in orbit to Covenant bases via [[gravity lift]] in a manner akin to a [[space elevator]]. Workers then move the supplies to the proper area for further use by the Covenant commander at the base. A Warehouse can be upgraded to '''Blessed Warehouse'''; superficially, the "blessed" variant looks more intricate than the standard warehouse—it has a larger sliding section and four additional storage tanks.{{Ref/Reuse|hwsite}}
In order for a Warehouse to be upgraded, a Temple must be built.The Warehouse's resources are used to train units, build buildings and buy technology upgrades.  It is ideal for the most efficient bases to be equipped with six warehouses to boost available resources.The best combinations of warehouses are five to seven normal warehouses, or three blessed and two normal warehouses.


The Warehouse serves as the Covenant's alternative to the [[Forerunner supply elevator|supply elevator]], [[UNSC Supply Pad|Supply Pad]], and [[Banished Harvester|Harvester]] structures used by the [[Forerunner]]s, [[United Nations Space Command]], and [[Banished]], respectively.
The difference between the normal and "blessed" variant seems to be that the blessed variant is more advanced than the normal one, and looks more intricate, has a larger sliding section and four more storage tanks. Obviously, this contributes to the increase of the resource gathering rate from 240 resources per minute to 330 resources per minute. It seems obvious that both variants are made repurposed by Forerunner technology, as seen by the forerunner-like structure. It can be believed that the Covenant modified this technology to become a "warehouse".

{{Quote|The Covenant Warehouse produces the resources needed to train units, building buildings, and buy technology upgrades. Bases that have great economic production might have 6 Warehouses.|In-game description}}
In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the Warehouse costs {{HWResources|100}} to be built. It produces {{HWResources|[[resources]]}}. They perform the same function as the [[Forerunner Supply Elevator]], and the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Supply Pad|Supply Pad]]. They can upgraded after the [[Covenant Temple|Temple]] is built, increasing the resource gathering rate from {{HWResources|240}} resources per minute (or 4 per second) to {{HWResources|330}} resources per minute (or 5.5 per second).
