Instead of, or in addition to, increasing cargo, allow the merchant profession to increase production storage capacity by 30% for all production types.

This would make them actually useable/good. +1.

I could actually see myself using this. +1

I like the idea, but for Dan maybe 30% is too much. Might see tweaking in numbers here
+1 anyway

I think 30%is not OP. If that's your main benefit then so be it. Totally doesn't outweigh extra arti, huge leaps of extra def, etc.

Would be a good choice for those who hold on to Caches. 2 race changes (1 to and 1 away) for opening day.

I would go excavator for that and just buy or rent storage.

lol at the rent part
I imagine there will be storage rent business in the future

I was being serious. I've seen it done; people send you some storage towers for like a day and then you send them back.

+1

I like this idea. Merchant is a totally useless profession but a lot of players struggle with storage capacity. Save up smugglers caches, switch to merchant, use caches, switch back to excavator. Alternatively makes people make a decision between more production but losing it during the night/work/whatever and producing less but being able to store more.
