Long distance gathering hubs?

[Gate Keeper]

One thing that is, IMHO, mandatory, but as far as I can see, just doesn't work:

## Long distance gathering ##

Sure you have your mines, and the cart. But if I want some tallow for baskets, and it's miles away, I can plop a temp shelter there, maybe one halfway house too. But the cart won't go there. There's no way to make a pick-up point that is a temporary storage for wagons.

Unless I'm wrong, idk.

Nope. Wagons will only collect from pits, mines and work camps. They also stock temporary shelters, but won't pick up anything from them.

So there is legit no way of doing the ANNO thing of having "colonies". Heck, even banished had better solutions for far away stuff If I remember correctly.

There really needs to be a transporter class of citizen. You're forced to have one main village with the current modeling in this game.

With v0.8.0 villagers will now favour homes near to their work places so you can build smaller communities out by resources. Slap down some houses, a well, market place, compost yard, storage, etc.

Have you tried to add stockyards or storage in the area?

Then how do I transfer resources to my main city?

Wagons will take them if you have unticked storage facilities near those communities to start with. Same for other goods; untick them from nearby storage so they don't get stored there.

Okay, so they see "large transport requests", like me unticking 30+ baskets from a flung off town and they'll send a cart to pick them up. That's good to know. I just assumed they sent 10 villagers on a month's long trek.

Again, wagons will only collect from pits, mines and work camps. Anything else will be moved by your villagers running back and forth.

So, literally not a solution to my question then? I need to move the yellow plant thing for baskets from a very very far away place.

yes but it takes a bit of micro...

If you untick the main storage and tick the far storage, they will also start emptying the main storage to fill the far one...

althou once full you can keep the far one ticked and re-tick the close one... as the far one becomes to need more again, untick the close one ... rinse and repeat

yes in that sense having that hub so far away is actually pointless as it just will refuse to work the chain
