Warehouses Not Sending Out Trucks

[Mr. Monday]

I built a couple warehouse zones to absorb locally produced goods, yet none of them are sending out any trucks. Not even for export. One is built near a postal sorting facility, and the other zone was built in a bad location traffic-wise (it was fairly bad until I made a second exit in the area), so I know vehicles are able to get in & out of those areas. I also haven't found any spots with service issues so I'm kind of ruling out a broken road network at the moment. If anyone knows what could be causing the problem I'd appreciate the help.

I concur it doesn't seem to be a road problem. If I change the resource, it sends out 20/20 trucks and empties out successfully.

So that means it's a priority problem in matching, or something. (I think that's what's different between changing resources and just being on Empty, at least.)

I'm using the Transfer Broker mod (was featured in a Biffa video a while back). I turned it off to see what would happen and the warehouses eventually started operating normally. I thought I was using the bare-minimum mode for that mode, but it looks like I'll have to play around with it a bit more to see if it's something I'm doing wrong or something wrong with the mod.

When you made this thread, had you just placed the warehouses only 1-2 minutes earlier?


In my experience... let's say I have an Ore Industry area and I build a new Ore Industry Storage building to collect the raw material. As soon as you build it, the game seems to immediately try to fill the warehouse all at once (instead of waiting for your nearby extractor buildings to send shipments over the next few minutes).

Immediately after placing the warehouse, the game seems to spawn its trucks at the outside edge of the map, and if you sit there and watch the warehouse long enough (it takes like 3-4 minutes) a HUGE influx of "importing" trucks will eventually show up. And they will drop a ton of cargo into the warehouse to push it up to like 70% balanced all at once. And during these 3-4 minutes while you are waiting, the warehouse actually says that 0 trucks are in use so it's rather confusing... It looks like it's doing nothing, but you just have to wait.

And basically from this point forward, once the warehouse has reached its "equilibrium" point so to speak, it should start behaving as intended and sending out a couple trucks at a time to make deliveries, etc.

When I first noticed this yes, however I've advanced the game long enough that they should have been exporting by now.

When I loaded the savegame the warehouse was completely full despite being on Empty, so it had clearly been there for a while.
