Overview
The Wagon shop is a tier 2 storage building and the place of work for your Wainwrights. When assigned to a Wagon Shop their first activity will be to use planks to build themselves a Wagon for transporting goods. They will use this to transport resources from your remote work locations such as Work Camps, Clay pits, Mines and Sand pits. They also provide temporary shelters with food and firewood.
Basic strategy
The player's Wainwrights are instructed to perform 2 or 3 tasks, depending on your storage settings:
- Pick up resources from Work camps, pits and mines and transport them to the nearest storage location;
- Provide food and firewood to temporary shelters;
- (If applicable) transport resources between stockyards depending on minimum and maximum storage settings.
To save the most time in carrying goods between locations, the optimal way to use the wagon is to place the stockyards as close to your industry buildings as possible. This reduces the travel time of sawyers, smelters and other craftsmen to a minimum while using wagons to carry goods long range. If the player were to place the stockyard near the remote work location, it would not be an effective use of the wagon as it would only carry the goods for a short trip.
Remember that the Wainwrights won't provide temporary shelters with water. Alongside every remote work location, both a temporary shelter and a well needs to be built to provide the workers with all of their basic needs.
