	Space is the volume a single item occupies in storage. If you have 50 items with a space of 0.10 each, the group would occupy 5 slots. ~~Notice that aircraft~~, personnel and live aliens ~~are not listed. These things~~ require specialized storage facilities ([[Hangar]], [[Living Quarters]] and [[Alien Containment]]) and do not use space in the General Stores.		'''Space''' is the volume a single item occupies in storage. If you have 50 items with a space of 0.10 each, the group would occupy 5 slots. Aircraft, personnel and live aliens require specialized storage facilities ([[Hangar]], [[Living Quarters]] and [[Alien Containment]]) and do not use space in the General Stores.

	~~General Store facilities stack~~. ~~Multiple modules act as a single cohesive storage unit, not as separate facilities. This~~ is ~~an important point to consider as~~ you ~~may be able to~~ store ~~more items~~ in ~~100 units~~ of ~~space than 2 facilities with 50~~. ~~For example~~, ~~one General Store can contain 62 Stingray Launchers. If General Stores were not stackable~~, ~~then two should hold 124~~. ~~In actuality, two modules can hold a~~ total of ~~125 Stingray Launchers.~~		The '''Multiplier''' (Mult.) column is used for determining the quantity of items you can store in a module. It is always the reciprocal of the "Space" column. However, as is common in X-COM, integer rounding plays a role. The equation linking total storage space to the number of items is:

	The "Multiplier" column is used for determining the quantity of items you can store in a module (It is simply the inverse of the Space column). As usual, integer rounding plays a role. The equation linking total storage space to the number of items is
	'''Total Items = INT(Total Storage Space * Multiplier)'''		'''Total Items = INT(Total Storage Space * Multiplier)'''

	To illustrate,. assume we want to know how many UFO Power Sources can be contained in 2 General Stores. 2 General Stores have a total space of 100, while the UFO Power Source multiplier is 10/7.		To illustrate,. assume we want to know how many UFO Power Sources can be contained in 2 General Stores. 2 General Stores have a total space of 100, while the UFO Power Source multiplier is 10/7.

	Total Items = INT(100 * 10 / 7)		Total Items = INT(100 * 10 / 7)
	= INT(1000 / 7)		= INT(1000 / 7)
	= INT(142.857...)		= INT(142.857...)
	= 142		= 142

	These calculations only apply to items being transferred into a base. Items purchased are a little different. As long as your current General Store space is < total space, you can still purchase items. (Your current space level is found by multiplying the quantity of an item by its Space and then adding all those numbers together). When dealing with only a specific purchasable item, the equation for the maximum number of items possible is found using an IF-THEN statement.

			Multiple General Store modules act as a single cohesive storage unit, not as separate facilities. For example, one General Store can contain 62 Stingray Launchers, but two modules, with their combined space, can hold a total of 125 Stingray Launchers.

-However when purchasing items, the game will 'round' to the nearest 10. Essentially so long as the space does not go over 509. For instance: there can actually be 63 Stingray Launchers in one module (63 * 8 = 504 < 509).
