A mine or farm only helps production when its output reaches a suitable consumer. Clear storage and transport links make it easier to see whether a shortage comes from production or delivery.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
The roads, storage buildings and machines that link mine or farm output to its downstream consumer.
Connect producers, storage and consumers with routes each building and vehicle can use. Before expanding a production line, check whether the current destination accepts the material, has capacity and is reachable by the assigned transport.
A producer with an output that a downstream machine or storage accepts.
A reachable road or transport connection between the buildings.
Storage or a consumer with room for incoming material.
Identify the producer’s output and the intended consumer’s accepted input.
Place or select a storage point that both the producer’s delivery vehicles and consumer can reach.
Connect the relevant transport route between producer, storage and consumer.
Enable truck import or other required logistics behavior where the building supports it.
Check that the receiving storage is not full and that the consumer is able to accept the material.
Inspect idle vehicle and machine states to find missing routes, assignments or inputs.
Only add production or transport capacity after the existing path is moving material as intended.
Farming tips
A full destination can stop deliveries even when a mine or farm still has work available.
Use distinct storage for materials that feed different consumers or recipes.
Repeat, collect and use
Review and extend the route whenever production, storage or consumer demand changes. The logistics setup is reusable; resource extraction and crop production themselves may have limits or input requirements.
Common mistakes
Adding more producers when the real blockage is full storage: clear or expand the destination first.
Connecting a material to a machine that does not accept it: verify the consumer’s input before laying out the route.
Treating idle vehicles as proof of a vehicle shortage: check routes, assignments, designations and capacity.
When to stop or switch
Stop expanding logistics once the intended output reaches its consumer reliably and buffers remain manageable; revisit the route when a new demand or bottleneck appears.
