warehouse change

[404SkillNotFound]

hey guys, do you know if I purchase a 2-slot warehouse and then sell my 1-slot one, will all the stuff be moved to the new warehouse? or will i need to make this manually, driving my van back and forth? or do you suggest not to sell my old warehouse and why?

If you sell the warehouse with inventory in it, all the inventory will be sold at half price.

But instead - you are able to set the new warehouse as a destination in your logistics Manager from the old warehouse and transfer all your inventory over there. Then after it's all transferred, you can shut down the old warehouse.

Thank you! <3

One untried tip though (just a thought) -depends on the ifs- but if warehouses have stock limits and your business is big and the warehouses not impacting you much financially (or/and) they are close to certain sites of your businesses there could be reasons for keeping the old one too, if it benefits you in any way, but if not you can get rid.

BEWARE the 2-slot Warehouses - They are pointless!

With 2 Vans in them and Two drivers at the warehouse, all seems fine. Then you go to your HQ and you can set any 1 Logistics Manager (with over 80% Training qualification) to be able to handle max. 6 shop destinations with one van and driver.

So you then try to get your second Logistics manager to pick up the second driver and 6 more shop destinations ... but the system won't let you allocate the second Log manager to the same Warehouse . . . so 2 slot big warehouses remain pointless until the Devs fix this.

My logistics manager is handling 7 locations with a van and a truck...

2 Slot Warehouses are amazing. You don't need a second logistics Manager, though. The same manager can handle both vehicles. So one double warehouse can handle 16 locations total!

Exactly, and once your Logistics Manager hits 100% skill, you'll be able to do 8 locations!

It literally doubles the destinations though? Like 1 slot warehouse maxes at 8, 2 slot at 16. Less overhead.

Train up your logistics manager and drivers. With 1 logistics manager and 2 drivers able to drive the 60 capacity trucks you can do 16 locations per 2 slot warehouse.

Don't forget that you can also have an HR manager slowly train any employee except themselves up to 100%. I have another HR manager train them. Full trained HR staff can handle 25 people.

My Logistics Managers and Drivers have all got 90+ % training - that is not the problem. The problem seems to be the game does not allow TWO Logistics Managers to manage from the same warehouse. So My 1st perfectly trained (bar 1 or 2 % ) LM gets to their max quota for a Truck (not just the van) and I have tonnes of capacity in this cave of a warehouse, but the system will not permit LM #2 to work the other loading bay.

You do not need TWO logistics Managers, though. Just put a second vehicle with a driver in the warehouse and that ONE Logistics Manager can handle both vehicles!
