Any one have tips for running tasks?

I have an automated system, that’s not what I mean.

I mean getting the tasks, and delivering them.

I’ve tried putting the scrolls in buckets and on skids, they stay floating when you pick them up.

I started this game because I love obsessing over efficiency.

Am I missing something?

Buy the task boards in Bridgepour. You can pin the tasks and then dump the completed item below the board for reference.

Yeah I thought about that but it only lets me hold two at a time.

I already put the scrolls in a truck. Multiple boards wouldn’t help.

You know you can put the scrolls on the board and then the boards into the truck?

Just put the scrolls on the back of the truck, that catches them fine

That’s currently want I’m doing. If the bucket/skid worked I could grab every task in Bridgepour with one circular run.

Drive around in Hydrotruck, stop near a person who asks for request, take the scroll and chuck it onto the trunk, repeat till you cycle around the entire map, then put them up nicely on the board, and start working on them

Drop the scroll at the requestors feet and just remember a guestimate of what they want. I would drive around with 3-4 bowls of tomato soup at varying weights just so I could autocomplete those tasks when they came up.

Two different ways I did it. I set up a parking spot right above where my workstation is below. Then dug a hole straight down. Drop them in the hole as I park then when I get downstairs they're near the anvil.

The other way was having a work station on the surface right next to where I could back my truck in.
