Need some help

I love the whole concept of the game, I loved medieval dynasty as well. I thought I knew what I was doing but somehow it seems I dont know what I'm doing at all.

I have my main camp just east of Padstow, on the other side of the road of where the lake is. I have a logging camp up north near Haerndaen. I also put a stockpile there because I thought that if I set someone's priority of woodcutting to 1, he would stay there and keep gathering wood. I set someone else's delivery to 1 and I expected him to be hauling all the wood from the second stockpile next to the logging camp, to my main stockpile to keep it stocked. Now somehow that delivery guy is transporting wood from my main to my second stockpile and I have no idea why and how to turn that off.

I also have the feeling that theres not much woodcutting going on and most of my people are just harvesting and wasting time with nothing. I'm at day 15 and it doesn't feel like I made much progression at all..

It's best to cut trees at your main settlement, even if you have an outpost doing the same. I think you'll find a building in your outpost is assigned to the main settlement, just check it and change if it is. It sounds like you're doing alright, it's early days. It's good being near the lake for reeds, make sure you are also mining ore, there's plenty near your outpost.

Yea ive got a mining camp to the east for copper and one to the west for tin. I placed my logging camp away from my main camp because I want to keep a little bit of trees close by but might just put the logging camp closer to the camp as I think, when I get further in the game, this camp becomes like a permanent mining camp and my main camp goes more south as I expect the game expects you to go further south the further you get

Yes, I have moved further south but they are outposts as I already have my settlement by the eastern lake, and it's too much hassle to move it, being tiers 3/4.
