When you have mining, log or other far from town

[Reitak]

Hey, what is best to do, when you have really far from your town and villagers must walk fast. Example i have mining camp far , she go there, get 1 copper and go back to town, is that because of food or there can be another problem? And if yes, what is best to do my villagers will work full time on that far place and then go back to town sleep.

Try fiddle around with the "keep top off" option. This means that whenever the amount of a resource go below the amount you set, they will farm or craft more. I would recommend never to use the default unless its equipment or other stuff that you need a low amount of

not sure if understand, i set 2000 copper on mining camp, villager go back after hit 1 copper, i think its because of food as is far from base, spend lot food on walking. and i will try disable all other and let only harvest (if that harvest is mining too)

2000 Copper? thats 4000 storage space..... they can only carry around 12 or 15 with a bag equipped. set it to 50 and select ''top up'' much easier.

The games still in early development and to be honest i dont bother with relying on my workers to do that, what i do is find the resources and build fast travel points on the closest road next to it, and i mine copper, iron and logs myself with the simple pickaxe or t2 pickaxe, (after day 80 my guys cant find trees for logs, those trees dont regrow yet) and i simply fast travel back to my main Town, it takes 30 minutes to an hr depending on how much i want to stock up.
Hope this helps much easier than building outposts especially when workers dont function properly right now.

no matter if i set 100, 500 or 2000, problem is read again he hit only once to that copper, get 1 copper ore and go back to town

mine the copper yourself its easier than relying on workers
When you build buildings away from main town it is an outpost.
you make outposts for resources to supply your main town when your town no longer can get those resources in its area.

you probably have her home at your base. Make her a home at the site as well as a small food chest for her to grab food from, and then make sure she has pickaxes at the site. i place 2 stockpiles there also 1 is for the copper and the other for crude stone. She'll fill up that crude stone fast if her harvesting is low so make sure to check it often. Once you have all of that make sure you set her role and her priorities to just mining. if that doesn't work you got a bugged npc. It happens sometimes.

I have the same issue , and although i built stockpile , and house for the worker, she still doesnt do the job.
