How do I make villagers make Buckets and automatically get them to Water Carriers?

[👁]

I don't know if I'm missing something, but currently I have to MANUALLY manage every work sites and home's supplies because the villagers can't seem to do it themselves.

Actually I have a villager on the Workshop and I don't know how to even get them to produce buckets. They have the planks for it in their workshop chest, and the Bucket is the ONLY blueprint I even unlocked for it, but they seem to just hang out around the work shop all day. What am I missing?

Did you actually assign them to making buckets? Just putting someone at a workstation isn't enough. You need to go to the next tab and assign what you want them to produce.

How do I do that? I've been able to assign people to specific tasks on some of the gathering buildings but I can't see how to on the workshop.

Like I said when you go to the workshop menu, there are multiple tabs. The second one allows you to assign what you want them to produce.

What do I need to do to get resources delivered where they need to be?

Build a Resource Storage first, so you don't have to run around delivering goods. Then make sure the supply of your Planks meets or exceeds the demand of your Crafter.

Oh ok so they'll deliver to resource storage automatically? I didn't even think about think, but now it seems obvious I should have just built a storage building straight away.

All villagers have access to the storage buildings (food storage and resources storage), both for their personal needs (food, drink and firewood) and work needs (tools, materials, ingredients). They will put the things they produce there automatically as well, so you can make a fully self-suficient village that way.

If you don't have them, you are forced to put their work stuff (tools, materials, ingredients) in the chest of the building where they work, and their personal stuff (food, drink and firewood) in the chest of their house.

TYVM, I feel really dumb for not thinking about building the storage buildings first, they really should have been the first buildings I built.

Did you start in The Valley or The Oxbow? In The Valley, there are "Chapter" quests that act as a kind of walkthrough. (Building a Resource Storage is one of the early steps.)

In the Oxbow, you're basically on your own to figure it out. If you're starting there, I highly recommend not skipping any of the "Tutorials" and/or reviewing them from the "Knowledge" Tab.

Nah I decided to play the main story mode.

I just didn't know about resource buildings.

I have an actually kind of mean Story Mode quest ATM to start a farm.

I can't build more buildings until a get a whole lot of seeds and some fertalizer.
