Staging ground

[Klaynes]

They ignore the food cellar right next to it and go grab from the raw ingredient barn further away. And they don't always fill up. 50% of them took 3 items, others took 1.
It's a step in the right direction, but needs some tweaks.
The food bag is awesome.

Build the staging area T2 then army or squad will go there.

There in a slider on squad tab starts ar 1 food think it goes to 7? Turn slider up and they will take more. You can also hit E and click on a silo the will go get food from there.

unfortunately it still does not stop some of them from grabbing mushrooms,, berries etc.. I wish we could dictate what food they grab.. I have over 400 cooked food ready to go and these clowns will grab absolute rubbish.. drives me crazy..

Or they will grab 3 of the same food for their bag which means even when their food does run out they won;'t eat again because all the three or whatever they grabbed as reserve is the same.

I found it better to assign the staging area to its own outpost. The when its fighting time, I a switch my cooked food barn to the same outpost as the staging area. Havent had any issue with them not doing exactly what I want them to do. They then grab starting at top left and I havent seen any of them grab duplicates as long as I have enough unqiue foods

Have a storehouse close to your staging ground that only have the food types you want them to use. Then tell them to loadup from that building.
