Can't export Raw Materials

[a profile name]

So I do things like start an export trade route for iron or sugar but it always goes straight to being processed and I can't finish the trade routes, is there a way to stop this from happening?

You can't change how the teamster prioritize so the only thing to do is to produce more raw goods by increasing the budget, build more mines, edicts, upgrades, buildings like the childhood museum can give off a bonus to your mines/plantations etc.

If you close all job positions in your distillery the teamster will fill it up with sugar and then the rest will go to the docks, but then you'll be without rum. You can also demolish the road to the distillery to prevent the teamster from delivering sugar.

You can also cancel the trade contract and take the diplomatic hit (-5 I beleive, it's in the trade menu).

Well, it's not the answer I was hoping for, but thanks. I guess I'll just have to live with it. They really need an option to stop it from all going to processing though :C

Well, what irks me about trade is those quests involving exporting of X, but you can't during the year. So here you are with a mandate running out from the Crown and that 18 months deadline extension could make or break you. This has happened for exporting planks on several game restarts and I'm sick of it. Then there's the limited population at start, one teamster building, and a whole crapload of product that's being transported. I really wish you could order Teamsters to do go transport something first option - if that means bribing, threatening, killing their families, whatever. You're El Presidente.

Still, it's a fun game, even with the little annoying sh*t that hasn't changed since forever in the series.

How did they fix this? I have the latest update and it’s still a problem. I thought The warehouse was suppose to be the solution but when I mark the good for no processing or no dock, it Doesn’t even respect that. The logistics of the warehouse is broken. Sugar for example, will Always go to rum facility no matter what mode I have the warehouse set to

Well I don’t know about the warehouse, but the game lets me export unprocessed resources even when I’m able to process them

Would you kindly tell us how?

The only way I can get this to work is to pause the buildings consuming the resource I'm trying to export or if it's say milk then specify that it's not for local consumption.

Still sometimes it takes eons to export goods while others fill very quickly.

I wish there was a better way to see how the teamsters move goods.

Just try to use warehouse and you can manage your style.
Also you can let your teamsters pick up priority resources or stuff..or use your budget..
if you really dont need coal they dont pick up them so often..and also you need enough teamsters, each section min. once. depands how big is your industrial area..never give up of this game..everzbody expect no. 7 pls..

The warehouse really works, BUT...

After the raw materials are transported from the warehouse to the port, teamsters transport the raw from the port to the factory. Rave.
