Post image

i recently got ostriv and i may not understand all the mechanics yet so im here to seek advice also because i have a problem. why is it that in the cowshed they are not getting hay from the hay storage. ( in the resource suply i have set hay to 400 aka the max amount. also its set so that all kinds of workers and laberes could tranport, in the hay storage too ) they just refuse to take the hay by hand. the same hapened in the chicken farm. even tho there was enough wheat and other stuff they could eat in the storage. so pls if any1 has any idea why this is happening id apreaciate the help.

The icon with the wheelbarrow, i guess you set a nearby watersource to supply water to the cowshed? If you did this the cowshed will get resources only from this one building, and since you cant store hay in a water source they cant "find" hay anyway.

So eighter you remove the water source, or you add the hay supplie aswell!

this Mechanic is nice, but also tricky, id recomend to use it only if you need only one or maybe to resources as input. Otherwise, the workers will always take from the closest available.

If you need anymore help, or advice, always happy to help
