Export only surplus (set reserves)

[Prisoner 76561197992841073]

Can't seem to find the option to export only what I deem surplus by setting a limit to keep in my warehouses but this was an option a few versions ago, has it been removed or put elsewhere?

[junkmail4mjd]

it has been removed for some reason.

Mostly because just exporting surplus whitout stating from which warehouse to take or which warehouse is actually important could result in same warehouse be constantly empty, while productions stops becouse intake warehouse are full.

Ultimately you want to export stuff from the warehouse that collects it's from production, to minimalize effort put on moving resource, and always have space for collecting product in that particular warehouse from industry (to prevent it stopping) regardless of how full warehouse on other side of city is.

Otherwise you do a useless daisy chain where multiple workers are engaged to move stuff from one warehouse to another just for it to be exported anyway at the same time burdening your transport flow with export quantity and limiting your production to the flow of goods between warehouses.

It got removed entirely rather than adding additional options.

IT IS STILL IN THE GAME!

You have to set it on the "PULL SOURCE" button.

Now you can set an export limit on each warehouse, so you can have your required items where you need them.
