Jump to next warehouse?

[pat]

In previous version(s) of Anno, there was a hot key assigned to "jump to next warehouse". It might have been 'w'. It was handy, especially if you were short on something, you could rotate through all of your warehouses checking to see if it was in long supply somewhere. I'm not seeing that here. Is it called something different?

In every warehouse you see the same things all over the island, also tou can put a bakery for instance, next to a warehouse, even if there are no grain farms or flour mills in sight, you just need flour in the warehouse

That's just for one island. That's not what I'm talking about.

Let's say that I need to build something that requires 50 steel. I'm manufacturing steel on this island, but I only have 4 in stock, and I really don't want to wait. Do I have a large stockpile on other islands that I can get and bring back here?

Yes sure, different islands have different mines for instance and different fertility, so you will need to ship a lot, like beer if you don't have the fertility for hops, or cannons if you don't have an iron mine... And if you do have an iron mine and steelworks but in bad need for steel, you can get it from another island

You're still not understanding what I'm asking. I understand the basics of the game. All I'm looking for, and nothing else, is a way to quickly jump from island to island, looking at the contents of their warehouses. As it is now, the only way I see to do it is to click on the island on the minimap, and find a warehouse.

I do mis that function too

I understand

You can bind camera positions with ctrl+f5, f6 and so on. Use that to quickly hop between islands.

EDIT: I use the minimap to relocate a lot too. My issue is that it always feels like the camera ends up one screen away from where I clicked so I often get confused as to where that boat is that I clicked on on the map.

Yes, I do use F5... But the old "jump to next warehouse" was very slick. In less than 5 seconds, I could see the quantity of the stored bread in my entire kingdom.

Yeah, the minimap alignment is way out of wack. That's probably my single biggest QoL issue with the game, because it makes jumping around to different islands so much more cumbersome than it needs to be.

For anyone still searching... open a warehouse and then click TAB to cycle through! This seems to work for other building types as well.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
