Whiteout Survival Research Center, Storehouse and resource building costs, level 1 to 30

The Research Center and the Storehouse take exactly the same time to reach level 30, about 32 days, and give the same 335.17K power, but the Research Center costs 525.94M Meat to the Storehouse's 288.66M. In both, the last five levels take more than two thirds of the time: about 10 days get either building to level 25, and levels 26 to 30 add the other 22.

All times are base build time, before any Construction Speed bonus.

Side by side

Building	Buildings	Meat	Coal	Iron	Time	Time for all	Level 30 time	Power gained	Automation needs
Research Center	1	525.9M	103.4M	26.3M	32d 7h	32d 7h	6d 1h	335.2K	—
Storehouse	1	288.7M	57M	14.4M	32d 7h	32d 7h	6d 1h	335.2K	—
Each resource building	4	117.6M	23.5M	5.9M	8d 14h	34d 10h	1d 15h	30.5K	Furnace FC1

The four resource buildings, the Sawmill, Coal Mine, Iron Mine and Hunters' Hut, share one ladder, so the row is for one of them: 117.62M Meat and about 9 days each, 34 days for all four. That is under a quarter of the Research Center's Meat for the same 30 levels.

No ladder here costs Meat up to level 10. From level 11 each step asks for the same Meat and Wood, Coal at about a fifth of that and Iron at about a twentieth. None of these buildings costs Steel or Fire Crystal, and none goes past level 30.

What opens each building

Building	Opens at
Research Center	Furnace 9
Storehouse	Furnace 9
Sawmill	Furnace 1
Coal Mine	Furnace 3
Iron Mine	Furnace 5
Hunters' Hut	None

The Research Center and the Storehouse open at Furnace 9 and then need the Furnace at the same level from level 10. The resource buildings follow the Furnace level for level from the start, except that the Coal Mine and Iron Mine open later, at Furnace 3 and 5.

The Automation level

Each resource building has one more step after level 30, the Automation level. It costs 6M Meat and 6M Wood with 1.2M Coal and 300K Iron, takes no build time and needs Furnace FC1. The four buildings differ only in what some steps need:

Building	Level	Field	Value	Instead of
Coal Mine	1	requires	Furnace 3	Furnace 1
Coal Mine	2	requires	Furnace 3	Furnace 2
Iron Mine	1	requires	Furnace 5	Furnace 1
Iron Mine	2	requires	Furnace 5	Furnace 2
Iron Mine	3	requires	Furnace 5	Furnace 3
Iron Mine	4	requires	Furnace 5	Furnace 4
Iron Mine	30-1	requires	Furnace 30-1	Furnace FC1
Hunters' Hut	1	requires	—	Furnace 1
Hunters' Hut	30-1	requires	Furnace FC2	Furnace FC1

The rows labelled 30-1 are the Automation level: the Iron Mine's opens at Furnace 30-1, four steps before FC1, and the Hunters' Hut's at FC2. The Automation level is left out of the totals above.

Research Speed rises by 0.1 a level to 3 at level 30. The Research Center's own research trees and what they cost are in research costs.
