My shipment wont turn into resources?

[Kierilla]

I need help, whenever i transfer it to my workshop, it does not turn into resources. Does anyone know how to fix these?

That's not how they work. Shipments are simply reserve parts. Let's say you buy a shipment of 25 screws. Until you run out of all screw sources (toy cars, trucks, etc) the shipment will remain intact. But once you need them you'll automatically have access to the 25 screws. The shipment itself is basically just to show you have them available.

Shipments will convert to scrap most the time they are transferred into your workshop.

However sometimes they will remain as a shipment in the workshop. Not sure what causes them to remain as a shipment though. Could be transferring them as a stack or the workshop already has plenty in it. Hard to tell with the game as glitchy as it is.

You can always drop a shipment on the ground and scrap it as well.

If the shipment is in your inventory, and your workshops run out, it will convert it while it is still in your inventory.

Me three, a year later.

I have a total of 350 steel available for construction, but when i scrap a shipment of 250 steel, it doesn't add to the globally available steel of 350. Instead it just adds it to the local workbench.

And then, if I build something that costs say 10 steel, it subtracts 10 from the global supply, AND 10 from my local workbench. Am I missing something? Cuz it seems to me, that it should then at least only subtract 10 steel from my workbench, if it wont add the shipment it to the global amount?

Edit: I figured it out. Shipments immediately adds to ones "global" resources.

You dont need to scrap shipments they just get used as and when needed, but they weigh nothing so handy if always in your inventory, especially in survival when you need to use a remote armour/weapon workbench
