Territory Flags
I don't understand how to move or build Territory Flags. The furniture one has run out, so I need to move it or build a new one. If I delete the flag, there is no option under build to make a new one. I don't seem to be able to move it either.

No idea what to do with this. There doesn't seem to be any info anywhere on how to make new flags or how to move one if the resource has run out?

The resource *shouldn't* ever run out, as far as I'm aware. If it has, that may be a bug.

According to resources tab, I'm not taking in any furniture. I checked the flag, and all that is shown is deterrence required. (and I'm in the green for that). I can show screenshots if that helps.

I can get furniture in other ways, but I thought you could move the flags or something to also steal it like you do when you first unlock them.
IIRC sheltered humans should eventually reach capacity for furniture are you sure that's not what happened?

No, as far as I can see, the flag simply isn't generating anymore resource. I ran out of furniture completely. I have built more houses to see what happens, but I had to buy furniture from a warehouse. The other flag shows resource taking in per turn, (the daily Necessities flag), but this one no longer does. (and it def did at one point). I also note the other furniture sites have 500-900 next to the name. When the game introduced this mech, I thought the game was indicating that furniture ran out after you pillaged it all.

Also if you delete the flag, there doesn't appear to be any way to put another one down. This is confusing, as the game tells you "you can scrap flags you no longer need" when you turn the flag to inactive. I tried this one one save thinking well I guess if it isn't working...but then was like how do I move it now? Deleting it made it disappear, but I have no build option to make another one.

All said in good spirits btw. :) I appreciate the response! Really love this game.

The flag never puts any furniture into your own resources stockpile. It just allows your sheltered humans to go and grab what they need, which they do on an ongoing basis. It does actually say this, somewhere, but I was also very surprised when I first ran across it to know that this really is how it works, rather than flavour text. ;)

The other furniture sites are showing 500-900 via the wall-ripping route, rather than the territory control route.

If all the apartments are furnished, then the humans won't go grab furniture anymore, yep. They are taking them directly back to their houses. They don't know where your storage bunker is, don't work for you, and wouldn't have any reason to move furniture from the warehouse to your bunker.

Next time some humans need furniture in housing you provide, though, that flag being active will cause them to grab what they need and furnish those apartments.
