📦 24 — Stockroom
The stockroom is the inventory buffer between deliveries/farm production and the store floor. Managing stockroom capacity is a key mid-game challenge.
🏪 Store Stockroom
Capacity
| Tier | Slots | Unlock | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 30 slots | Lv.1 | Free |
| Expanded | 60 slots | Lv.10 | 2,000 coins |
| Large | 100 slots | Lv.25 | 8,000 coins |

Stockroom Mechanics:
- Items are grouped by category
- Each item type occupies 1 slot regardless of quantity
- Quantity per slot: unlimited (stacked)
- When stockroom is full, no new deliveries can be accepted and farm supply lane is blocked
- Visual indicator: percentage bar on stockroom icon in HUD
🌾 Farm Stockroom (Barn)
The farm has its own storage system (the Barn):
| Barn Tier | Slots | Unlock | Cost |

| Farm Warehouse | 200 slots | Lv.30 | 2,000 FT |
| Grand Barn | 500 slots | Lv.60 | 10,000 FT |
