Hauling

DIRECT ANSWER

Hauling: current answer

For hauling that appears stuck, check the Resource Transfer Station worker's origin and destination. ST-24 changes distribution among full production buildings and redirects interrupted loads to Warehouse, so pre-ST-24 ground-drop behavior is historical.

Quick facts

  • Hauling selection and interruption behavior changed in ST-24.
  • ST-11 connected Ore Refinery and Wood Processing Plant to resource transfer.

Practical workflow — editorial guidance

Confirm the producing building has items waiting rather than assuming idle time means a broken route.

Observe whether all workers choose one full building or spread across eligible buildings.

Check Warehouse receipts after interruption. Keep a save backup before reproducing repeated losses.

Evidence limits

These are diagnosis steps, not a guarantee that every hauling defect is fixed.

Related systems and next steps

Building

Warehouse

Warehouse is the intended destination for interrupted Resource Transfer Station deliveries after ST-24. The update also removes the Level 2 prerequisite for hauling goods there; drones are a separate Level 2 feature.

Building

Resource Transfer Station

The Resource Transfer Station moves colony goods. ST-24 improves worker distribution and sends interrupted loads to Warehouse; hauling to Warehouse no longer requires a Level 2 station. Level 2 hauling drones were introduced in ST-11.

System

Hauling Drones

Resource Transfer Station Level 2 gained hauling drones in ST-11. Do not confuse this upgrade with basic Warehouse delivery: ST-24 removed the Level 2 requirement for hauling to Warehouse.

Building

Ore Refinery

Ore Refinery was added to Resource Transfer Station handling in ST-11. If refined output stays at the building, investigate the transfer connection and worker route before treating the refinery's production rate as the cause.

Building

Wood Processing Plant

Wood Processing Plant joins Resource Transfer Station handling in ST-11. Diagnose logs arriving, processing finishing and output being collected as separate stages; an output backlog can be a hauling issue.

Tool

Resource Hauling Checklist

Trace a shipment from its source through transfer work to the Warehouse. Mark a step only after checking your current save; completion is not a guarantee of a fix.
