coal mine storage limit

[Sexy Dudeldag Man]

hey guys, my coal mine always has the warning storage limit reached. its kinda weird because in my UI says i do have enough storage limit and also i build some ressources depot. im kinda confused.

There might be a red icon floating above it, make sure to click on the depot and set it so that it is storing coal. it will not store anything by default.

The coal mine produces coal and dumps it in a large pile right behind/next to the coal mine. You can see little black mounds of coal (1 - 3 of them) on the ground by it. These piles of freshly mined coal then have to be gathered by other workers in the same way random coal piles are mined. If no workers are gathering the piles, then the piles reach maximum capacxity. When this happens, the coal mines has "reached its storage limit" and stops working.

It took me awhile to work this one out too.
