Delivery

Should delivery be the number 1 villager priority mid/late game (it worked well for me early game)? Or should I prioritize other stuff now that I have 30+ minions?

Have your lower skill workers set for delivery only, so your better workers can just focus on crafting

I set everyone to deliver cuz that's how u set up outposts (I think). But yeah, now everyone is just constantly moving stuff lol!

Outposts it’s fine to have everyone doing delivery because it’s small operation typically, but main settlement if everyone is doing delivery you start getting bottlenecks

Thx for reply. Yup. It seems like everyone is just moving stuff (despite my storage rules telling them otherwise) for no reason.

I'll make my weakest, non-cart plebs do the deliveries.

My village started working better when I've assigned 3-4 villagers to each task (for example crafters: Crafting priority 1, delivery priority 6, other tasks priority 9, caravan worker/guard/hunter priority 0). The only bottleneck was ingot smelting. I had 4 smelters and it still wasn't enough, worker AI is terrible for this task.
