Resource Points Storage Capacity
Artifact Points are not Artifacts. You earn Artifact Points every hour from the production of your Planets. When you have Artifact Points available, you can click 'Receive Artifact Shipment' and those Artifact Points will be transformed into actual Artifacts
Artifact Points Storage
Artifact Points Storage capacity increases by 1000 per planet owned. This capacity can be increased by building Resource Storage Structures on your Planets.
Mining Points Storage
Mining Points Storage increases by 500 per planet owned. This capacity can be increased by building Resource Storage Structures on your Planets.
Research Points Storage
Research Points Storage increases by 150 
RP for every rank gained.
This capacity can be increased by building Resource Storage Structures on your Planets.
Your total Research Points Storage capacity starts at 150 per rank. You can increase this by building additional Resource Storage Structures on your planets.
If you hover over your available Research Points in the top right corner of the GL Interface Header, you will see your total Research Points Storage capacity based solely on rank.
If you hover over your hourly Research Points production, a tooltip will appear, indicating:
- Research can be increased by hiring more scientists, building research structures on your planets, or redeeming Galaxy Points.
- Rank Capacity: xx
- (XX Research Storage Received from Planet Structures)
- Total Research Done: xx
The Rank Capacity displays your overall Research Points Storage capacity, including both 150 per Rank as well as the Research Points Storage capacity from planet structures (which is broken out on the tooltip).
In the early game you are likely to focus quite heavily on research and this will be reflected in your choice of Planets. As a result, Research is likely to be the first of the 3 resources to routinely overflow its storage capacity while you are away or asleep.
Resource Storage Structures
Storage for Research, Artifacts, and Mining production can be further increased by purchasing storage towers from the Artifact Market using GP. As these artifacts are sendable, they can also be traded with other players for CTP, Kurenite, or other artifacts. As of April 2014 storage structures change hands for approximately 750 CTP each; however some players have been know to offer them for as little as 650 or less, while short-term auctions have seen players offering over 800.
