puzzling schnapps

[clif9710]

When I place a schnapps brewery I get the green lines that indicate the range of coverage for a production point. However, it doesn't seem to matter where I place these distilleries, the whole population gets the benefit regardless of how far away a distillery may be. In fact, I can place a bunch of distilleries right next to each other and all is well all over the city, just like, for example, breweries. Then why is the range shown when I place a distillery?

The range you are referencing is the range a warehouse must be. As long as there is a warehouse within range, the production building works. Warehouses are magic. You put a brick in one warehouse, and it becomes instantly available in any warehouse on that island.

Same concept for production chains. Potatoes can be delivered directly to schnapps distillery with no warehouse in between. The warehouse would just be needed to deliver the schnapps to after its produced.

Thanks! I just discovered more warehouse magic - when I go on an expedition, I'm not limited to taking items from the nearest warehouse, but can choose any island warehouse to grab one.

I love the game but the magical warehouses are kind of amusing sometimes. When I first started I though similar production buildings needed to be near each other lol.

They don't need to be nearby, but it's a good idea to avoid overburdening warehouses
until you have electricity. At that point loading and unloading at a warehouse is much faster, so a warehouse can serve many more electrified factories. Instead of putting factories near related farms, the ideal becomes to concentrate factories within range of a power plant.
