Hauling Post

The  Hauling Post is a  Building that provides haulers. Haulers assist producers in that  District and haul Goods between  Storage and production facilities. This improves the efficiency of production and gathering buildings by ensuring workers spend less time transporting Goods and more time working.

They do not:

• empty  Rubble;
• assist in hauling goods to or from  District Crossings or construction sites; or
• gather raw materials from the map. Example: wood from felled trees not yet transported to  Lumberjack Flags by Lumberjacks.

After constructing a Hauling Post in a District, buildings in that District can be set to be prioritised by haulers.

Some advanced buildings require haulers to function. See the list at Category:Structures requiring haulers.

Out of Haulers' Range

Main article: Status Icons

When a district has no haulers employed, all buildings with tasks that involve haulers will notify about being  Out of Haulers' Range. The affected buildings include:

• all  Storage buildings set to Obtain or Supply
• all workplaces set to Prioritise by Haulers
• all  Buildings that would require only Haulers to operate.

Strategies

• When there are few workers due to a low population, set the workplace priority to low (orange arrow down) and add jobs despite the lack of available workers to fill them. This does not affect your workflow but ensures new  Beavers immediately make themselves useful.
• Place Hauling Posts between areas where many Goods are transported to minimize the walk distance for idle haulers.
• When a District is well-established, have at least one Hauling Post set to high (not highest) work priority, and leave the rest at low priority to ensure efficiency doesn't completely plummet when the population runs low.
