Beavers do not build

[nordstern]

Hi,

i have a problem. If my district growth to wide and is to much buildings it gets extremly inefficient in building new buildings. Do you have any suggestions?

For example i have currently 254 adults and 72 of them are carrier, 12 builder. But my buildings are so slow build. Their are tripple the ressources which are needed for all buildorders in the storages. But the carrier are more likely carrierung production to storage than building materials were they are needed.

This gets currently really critical, because even with highest priority my watertanks are not build and i survived the last dry barly. But i have 6000 wood, 4200 planks, 1900 metal and 1400 gearwheels. But they do not build it instand... they need fpr the greatest watertank 3 days. Also my worker are standing in the building house and wait. They do not carry materials (maybe some, but some not). And so all materials are available, but not transported.

So how many carriers do you use?
I have currently 2 Dynamite, 8 planks, 5 gearwheels, 4 iron, 12 flags, 21 pumps, 16 builder (4 base, 12 workstation), 72 carrier, 28 farmers, 12 research and 34 in different other jobs appreciated. So i have 138 workers who are supplied with 72 carriers.

I have farmland all over my district, but the carriers must carry wood and scrap all over the map. And also the storage is centralized. So beavers, carrier, etc must move to this to drink, eat, gather, etc.

But the carriers do not bring the materials to the construction sites fast and in the number they should be available. Instead its more sporadic. Like in the earlygame, but their you have lesser beavers (no carriers) and lesser material costs.

Can i priorize carriers to go to construction sides priorized? I hate this. I have currently 3 huge construction sides and the materials to build them but nearly nothing happens.

Are my districts to huge? This is no natural "distance" were i would say here makes a border sence. Im plan it to do and i have some areas were districts make sence. But currently i have district on the map flatland (256x256) from the mountains in the west to the sea in the east and from the dirty river in the north to the plateau in the south.


Thanks for help.

Haulers won't bring materials to constructions only builders do. For best results place temporary storage set to obtain near your build site. That will ensure your builders spend more of their time building rather then hauling. And haulers can keep your construction storage topped off.

ok, thanks.

I thought they do, because they carry...
