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


The Warehouse is a Covenant structure used for collecting/processing resources. It can be built onto any unused Covenant or Neutral plot for 100 resources. It brings down supplies from orbit to Covenant bases via gravity lift. 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 '''Halowars.com''' - ''Game Info'']</ref>
==Overview==
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, construct buildings and research technology upgrades. It is ideal for the most efficient bases to be equipped with six warehouses to boost available resources. Of course, the number of warehouses you can build is limited to the number of base pads you have available. 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, it 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 (or 4 per second) to 330 resources per minute (or 5.5 per second). It seems obvious that both variants are made by repurposed Forerunner technology, as the buildings demonstrate Forerunner-like architecture.

A render of a Covenant warehouse.
Two warehouses; the normal warehouse variant and the Blessed warehouse variant.

The warehouse is a structure that can be built on a Covenant Citadel.[1]

Overview[edit]

The Warehouse is a Covenant structure where resources are brought down from starships and space stations 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.[1]

The Warehouse serves as the Covenant's alternative to the supply elevator, Supply Pad, and Harvester structures used by the Forerunners, United Nations Space Command, and Banished, respectively.

In-game information[edit]

Halo Wars[edit]

— In-game description

In Halo Wars, the Warehouse costs Resources 100 to be built. It produces Resources resources. They perform the same function as the Forerunner Supply Elevator, and the UNSC Supply Pad. They can upgraded after the Temple is built, increasing the resource gathering rate from Resources 240 resources per minute (or 4 per second) to Resources 330 resources per minute (or 5.5 per second).
