Automation and Logistics

Diagnose warehouses, roads and delivery bottlenecks.

Direct answer

Mandate Order automation is logistics: short routes, correctly placed storage, enough carriers and balanced demand. Solve distance and routing before adding more workers.

Route

Do this in order

  1. 1

    Follow one missing item from consumer back to its source.

  2. 2

    Check output storage, road connection and delivery range at every link.

  3. 3

    Move or specialize storage to shorten the busiest route.

  4. 4

    Add transport capacity only after the route itself is sound.

If it does not work

A full source beside an empty consumer means the production rate is not the problem. Look for range, filters, road access or carrier overload.

Completion signal

Goods move from source to consumer for several cycles without player intervention.
