# OIL Tank & MRE Storage

<figure><img src="/files/VyQCov0LAG2cxxEkKxQi" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

All factions except Empire require $OIL or $MRE in the initial processing phase. This $OIL or $MRE must be stored in each faction's OIL Tank and MRE Storage, not in the user's wallet, before it can be used in the process.

The OIL Tank and MRE Storage have a limited capacity and can be expanded using $VALOR in five stages. The costs to expand Tank and Storage are as follows.

Because Tank and Storage exist independently for each faction, upgrades are not shared. When expanding Tank and Storage, be thoughtful about faction selection and deck composition.

| Tank/Storage Grade | Expanding cost ($VALOR) |
| ------------------ | ----------------------- |
| 1                  | -                       |

| 3                  | 30,000                  |
| 4                  | 60,000                  |
