How does the warehouses/granaries push/pull work?

[spharv2]

I'm assuming they pull items from the suppliers...do they then push them out to places that need them or are they simply storage for other workers to pull from? Can they pull items from other warehouses? Trying to set up some kind of supply network once you grow bigger is tough when the ways these things work is so obtuse.

Foundation works on a fetch economy, everyone gets the resources they need for their job. Only exception are builders who deliver resources to building sites.

Yes warehouses/granaries can pull resources from other warehouses/granaries in two cases:
1. You have set the stock max setting for a resources
2. You have set the accept setting for a resource, but the local demand is too high to be satisfied by the local production buildings alone

Anything more complex in a supply chain management sense doesn't work in Foundation and will only lead you to frustration dealing with a logistics chaos.

I think they only pull to storage then workers who use that resource come to get them.

Does anyone know if Markets will pull from warehouses and granaries?

Yep, Transporters only pull material in and never send it out (unfortunately).

Yes, Market Tenders will pull stock from a Granary or Warehouse.
