Resources need to be shared between Bases

[Necrowarrior#66]

this should be part of the game. i made myself an Ore Mining Base as my second base and i have to carry everything by hand. either share the resources between the bases or have a "carrier pal " between bases maybe but we need this. VOTE UP please.

Flying pals acting as carrier pigeons would be cool.

OP is right though. Especially in the higher levels when you need hundreds if not thousands of ingots. I've only leveled health and weight, but even still lugging around ore back to my main base is a nightmare, especially because each fast travel increases the chances of the respawn getting one of my pals randomnly incapacitated because they were forced through a terrain or tree.

As someone who also has a dedicated mining base, yes this would be very much appreciated. Anything is better than having to go back and forth between bases to manually haul ore for refining.

Maybe some base upgrade for a future update which can store items inside the palbox, it would make its gigantic tile placement make more sense if they give it a decent platform and a more accurate representation for its size.

Put a storage box next to your Palbox, And Fast travel to ur other base.. takes 2-10s depending on pc.

The game explicitly forbids placement of objects near where the player spawns when teleporting to a Palbox, so you're always going to be limited to carrying enough that you can still walk. It's not a difficult problem to solve, but it's still unnecessarily tedious.

It would be nice to have a pal with a new "caravan" role or add in extra depth by having a caravan/guard assigned to making resources immediately shareable between bases.

Hauling ore is inefficient, it's better to set up the furnace at the mining base, and carry coal/ingots instead because they weigh less.

Best thing rn if you dont wanna move ingots from base to base is todo this. Put a Box next to your mining base's palbox and one right next to your main base's palbox. Then when you have enough ore at your mining base just throw all of it into your inventory and then just move your cursor over to the palbox and fast travel back home and place it into the box thats next to your Main base's palbox. You can still fast travel atm even if your encumbered so you dont have to make multiple trips.

There's a minimum distance, but it's not so far that you can't grapple-gun your way. If there's any limit at all as to how over-capacity you can be while grappling, it's at least 2000 pounds AFAICT.

The caravan idea is pretty cool, actually. It'd be neat to have them roaming from base to base.

Currently the easiest way that I've found is to have everything you need for mining, refining and item making at the mining base and everything else somewhere else for food production. I actually have it all in one place right now, but I'm seeing that food production is fairly limited since a lot of pals are either moving things or bashing them.
