Food factory connected to Warehouse refusing to import and export properly

[Format 67]

I've experienced this issue after making a warehouse connected directly to a food factory in two maps, one blank and other regular one.

The food don't go the the warehouse when the factory export level hits the max, and the grains from the warehouse go on a ridiculous low speed on the other way, like, the import level on the factory is aways on 0.3 or lower.

Also I've experienced some other strange issue, the food level goes down as if moving into the warehouse, but the warehouse displays that theres no food inside, as if simply vanishes into thin air.

I can confirm this. Had the same issue yesterday. The factory and the brewery aren't getting the plants from the warehouse or the farm. I had to transfer them manually with trucks.

Are there any plants in the warehouse on your screen?
In my setup the production overflow to the warehouse started a bit later at the point when more goods were stored inside export area in the factories...
However factory connection is one thing to rework in my eyes as well)

Nope. No plants in the warehouse. When a truck filled with plants from the fields unloads at the farm building, it seems random to me, what goes into export of the farm and into the warehouse. Definitely needs a look into it.

I think.. try check it when the truck going unload plants into farm,
Truck will unload most probably directly to warehouse, because is less filled than farm..
but immediately the buildings around will take crops from warehouse.. so you can have feeling the resources are lost.. but I hope the factory (food and distillery) will start production.. and you should see a production percentage at those when truck unloading crops at farm..

If above is not true.. then please upload save for me to http://sovietrepublic.net/support

UPDATE: I noticed you sent me your save.. I checked .. and it is like I said... if you observe the factories (food and distillery) they working after vehicle come to unload... only one thing is that warehouse cannot take crops from the farm.. due to warehouse is just storage. without manpower.. functionality for warehouses to take or push resources is planned..

I've sent you my save too, as you said, the production on the factories around the warehouse start, but the warehouse do not import any resource made by them.

Another bug I've noticed is when you send a truck with food to store it onto the same warehouse that the food factory is connected (check my save for example) the food simply disappears.

Can you confirm this?

Peter.

I noticed that if I have 2 silos connected between them and to a farm in one and and, for instance, a distillery in the other end, the crops will not be moved between buildings.

Is that intended?

Is any kind of forklift planned?

Anlauf> Yes.. this is intend.... remember storage cannot push or take resources from neighbor buildings.. only factory can.. or any building where vehicle loading / unloading..

Forklift functionality is planned.. so for storages you will able to select from where should storage take resources.. and where it can push..

When factory makes a production.. it fills the storage which is less full.. so one time may be internal storage.. one time the external factory..

Regarding a second issue.. not sure if understand good.. but if any truck come to load the food from warehouse (which is connected to food factory also).. the vehicle can take food from both food factory and warehouse (again according which storage is more filled)... so this is intend ..

Hmn, I see your point, thanks for explaining the actual system!

Also, I hope to see that forklift function, sure it will help with resource management :)

Now I think I finally understood what happens if 2 trains are loaded with goods at the same time. So let´s say first train is being loading while a second arrives. The system loads now the second, empty one) I would say with trains the mechanics should be changed to load the first train fully before switching to next one. If you use slow loadings goods like crops the second train just blocks the station while relaxing ;)
