Resource Transfer Station

DIRECT ANSWER

Resource Transfer Station: current answer

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.

Quick facts

  • ST-24 calls the building Resource Transport Station; ST-11 uses Resource Transfer Station.
  • Workers distribute across production buildings with full storage.
  • Interrupted hauling returns goods to Warehouse instead of dropping them.

Practical workflow — editorial guidance

Identify the production building holding the goods, then watch one station worker from pickup to destination.

Check Warehouse receipt separately from the production building's output counter. A task interruption should not be treated as normal ground-drop behavior after ST-24.

Compare the installed update with ST-24 before using older advice that says Warehouse delivery needs Level 2.

Evidence limits

Exact range, staffing cap, unlock cost and transfer throughput are not established by these patch notes.

Related systems and next steps

System

Hauling

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.

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

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.

Update

Directive ST-24: State Maintenance

Directive ST-24: State Maintenance was published on 2026-09-24. Special soldiers including IntelliExplorer A20 and Miralisse Novarin no longer randomly receive negative general or combat traits.

Update

Directive ST-11: State Maintenance

Directive ST-11: State Maintenance was published on 2026-09-11. Loading and startup stability improved. Level 2 Resource Transfer Stations gained hauling drones; Ore Refinery and Wood Processing Plant outputs joined resource transfer.
