Who's job is it to deliver logs/sticks to the carpenter?

[Axelay]

The warehouse guy isn't bringing logs/sticks
The workers at the carpentry shop just sit in the main section until I manually drag a log over, then they stand up and process it.

The woodcutter isn't bringing them either. Workers aren't bringing them.

I'm in the process of building a cart to see if the carpenters will pull from the cart (and not the warehouse 10 ft away) but I haven't tested that yet.

If I have to drag the logs and sticks, I might as well just process them myself and assign guard duty to the carpenters.

I had mt carpenters all stocked up with full logs to go, and the warehouse guy took them all to the warehouse. I play with only one worker as they are always making life harder with their silly little dropping, and removing of everything, and even one is a pain at times! He also emptied my workshop of sticks and bark i had stashed there. Feeding her to the bear!

My warehouseman is annoying as hell. I made some hardwood stick the smaller ones so I can make the shield with 10 stick on it. My inventory is full, so I put that to the carpenter house inventory beside the crafting table. Everytime, I'm going to make one, he stole every one of them put them on the warehouse. I was like, what the hell. The crafting table inventory materials should have an option to restrict the npc's not to get them.

Put your woodcutter on one side of the carpenter and a warehouse on the other side. It is the carpenter's job to pull the supplies to use, so have things nearby to make it quicker.

how big of a radius would you say the carpenter will "look" for stored logs? I ask because my warehouse is literally 10ft away, and they just sit in the middle part all day long unless I go grab a log for them.

I had my first one go about 30-40ft away. Try assigning more than one villager to the carpenter area, and see if they're more productive. Sadly, carpentry isn't very fast when villagers do it. Occasionally, I will deliver a cart of hardwood logs or long sticks when passing by to assist with getting carpentry production higher.

Hey folks we've had a couple of reports of Warehouse workers being a bit TOO organised, I've raised this up. Thanks for continuing to flag!

Yeah, I have 2 carpenters, and I have removed ALL other tasks from the work order queue except for the 4 types of planks/poles/slabs/beams.

They go to the central hub area and sit on the ground. They stand up and sit down every 5 seconds. (I have 2 assigned)

If I drag a log and put it in the carpentry log slot, they stand up, grab the log and work it.
But they won't go to the warehouse 10ft away and grab a log on their own. Or pick them up off the ground, or get them from the woodcutter next door. (I haven't tried the cart yet)
