+It is important to distinguish between these, otherwise it's easy for errors to occur when trying to transfer or set resource rules. A good way to look at the resource rules is to look at spaceships and stations as big storage facilities, capable of holding a lot of resources and moving them between themselves. And these big storage facilities have smaller storages in them, which in turn are capable of moving resources between themselves.
 '''NOTE!''' It is not recommended to use resource rules with the aim to move resources to a specific ship. Use transfer instead. Resource rules should only be used to try to create specific goals for the crew, like bringing water to a specific ship in the player fleet.

		+	The player now wants to have water be prioritized to that ship, and furthermore they want a specific storage in that spaceship to get most of the water, since it is placed very close to the grow beds section of the ship.
		+
		+	This need can be easily solved using the resource rules system, in the following way:
		+
		+	# The player selects their farming ship, and opens up the resource rules tab. Here they specify a "bring here" rule for water, this will give their crew the command to prioritize bringing water to this ship.
		+	# The player then navigates to the storage placed closely to the grow beds section of the farming ship, selects the storage and opens up the resource rules tab. Here they yet again specify a bring here rule for water.
		+	# Crew members will start bringing and filling the storage with the water resource.
		+
		+	This is a simple example of how easy it is to link the resource rules together and specify where some resource should go.

		+
		+	[[File:Storage resource rules 960x500.jpg]]
		+
		+	Storage Resource Rules only apply within a spaceship or station, it is not possible to transfer to other ships or stations directly from a storage. Due to the intuitive nature of the storage facility the transfer tab will direct the player to transfer resources between ships. However, if the player wants to transfer resources from one storage to another within a ship or station, the storage rules should be used.
		+
		+	The Storage Resource Rules has the same system as the ship level resource rules system.
		+
		+	===Available rules===
		+
		+	# No rule - The is no special resource rule set for this resource on a storage level within a spaceship or station.
		+	# Empty rule - Here empty refers to unloading. This rule will give the crew the command to move this resource to other storages within the selected spaceship or station. This automatically toggles also the "no more" rule.
		+	# No more rule - This rule specifies that the player does not want their crew to bring more resources of this type from other storages within the ship to the selected storage.
		+	# Bring here rule - This rule allows the player to give the command to have their crew aim to bring more of this resource type from other storages within the ship to the selected storage.
		+	# Minimum rule - This rule allows the player to give their crew a goal to try to keep a minimum amount of resources of this type on the selected storage.
		+
		+	Examples could be:
		+
		+	* The player builds a small storage close to their grow beds, and wants to have their crew members bring water to that storage. The player uses the "bring here" rule for the storage and gives the crew the command to aim to bring water from other storages from within the ship.

 The numbers above will help you see which ship really needs some resource, and which do not. A ship #1 might be completely out of water, showing 0.
