V.66 Storage

[Jean Valjean]

Hello everyone, little remark. I find it odd that, at the beginning of the game, your ten oddjobbers are very willing to cross the entirety of the map to forage fruits, but the storage workers that you hire for your warehouse a bit later refuse to go there and pick these fruits up. Oddjobbers can go and uproot vegetables, but won't bring them back, while those who are supposed to bring stuff back won't walk the distance to do so. Seems like an unnecessary (maybe unintended) change to the forage system, making early game quite annoying, especially for races like Dondorians who already have a bit of a hard time growing their food. I wanted to try out the Dondorians for the first time recently and almost every time they starve to death because I can't forage the stuff or plant enough. I'll go back to Amevias I think until this situation is sorted out. Don't need to forage with them.

Oh ? Didn't see it, played last yesterday. Thank you.

If your save is from yesterday it will be auto set to 0% when you load it so you will just have to put it up to cover wherever you want them to travel to.

Is there any reason not to increase the warehouse radius to the maximum possible ?

Only for dedicated storage for your manufacturing/shipping areas, so they can service those industries without running all over town.

That is quite specific. For early to midgame I simply have one giant warehouse, and later on I end up building a few small ones for very specific purposes (like storing ore in a mine on the other side of the map).
