You can also load a ship up and sell them goods manually.įinally, you can always pause buildings if you don’t need them right now. A good trick is to make extra soap and sell to the prison guy. Careful not to sell too much and run out though. The AI ships will periodically buy these goods from you.Īlternatively, you can set up a trade route with the npc shop islands and trade your goods that way.

While viewing your warehouse, right click on the goods you want to sell and a window opens up, you can click the arrow button until it says Sell, and then select a threshold where anything above will be sold. Once you have a healthy supply of items and you’re still maxing out, you can start selling some off. You can only build these on the beach and in the water, but they don’t need a road connection so they can just be placed on a beach you aren’t using or placed in the water ahead of your fishing docks. This building expands the maximum storage for resources on your island, so you’ll want a few of them eventually. In tier 2 buildings, under the small harbor building set, you will find the Depot.

This is OK! Your storage being full means you’re producing more than you use, Your efficiency will drop to 0 because there is no space to deliver the goods, and so no new goods can be produced. This can cause your island’s warehouse storage to fill with logs and then your lumberjack’s hut’s local storage to fill (which triggers the “Output Storage Full” icon) - driving down or even stopping productivity at your lumberjack’s huts. So if you have three lumberjack’s huts but only one sawmill, you’ll be producing logs three times as fast as your sawmill can turn them into boards. The second thing, without any changes to productivity, at base production, one lumberjack’s hut will keep pace with one sawmill. This information can help you balance your resource chains. I’m not totally sure what you mean by “my actual board count for use in building is minimal - nowhere near the same number (like >10.)”, but here’s a couple of thoughts I had while reading your post.įirst thing, if you select a goods-producing building and hover your mouse cursor over the production % wheel/cog, it will tell you in “minutes : seconds” how long it takes for that building to produce one unit of good (note that input resources are consumed at a 1:1 ratio with production). I'm not sure if your teamsters will remove the input-goods from the dock to take them to your other factory.Hey BeefyKat! Welcome to ANNO.

(Not tested: demolishing a factory when its input goods are in demand elsewhere, such as food at canneries or when you have another building of the same type somewhere else. I repeated this with a full Rum Factory (~1000 input goods, ~1000 output goods), and confirmed that the nearest dock's supply jumped up by over 2000 when the factory was demolished. Since Borehole Mines exploit all deposits simultaneously, this meant that a single shift of mine-work was generating 26,000 resources! I demolished the mine when it had ~20,000 resources in it, and the closest dock immediately had ~20,000 more resources stored in it. I played a buggy scenario where, instead of making deposits bigger, the scenario creator layered a large number of small deposits on top of each other. Thanks to SCIENCE!, I can confirm that when a mine or rum factory is destroyed, both the input goods and output goods are immediately teleported to the nearest dock. Since you get credit for exports at the time the resources are loaded onto the ship, they will count towards export tasks. When a building containing resources is destroyed, all of the stored resources (both input and output goods) are teleported to the dock.
