I have a Loose Storage to empty with priority 15 and assigned 5 Haul Trucks, and "Accept assigned only" is unchecked.
But Trucks keeps ignoring higher priority jobs across the island and insists on emptying this storage:
v0.7.8a (b486)
Windows
Dragon.save
This is unfortunately hard to fix and is related to Trucks are incorrectly prioritizing dump requests from loose storage III
The logistics zones are making the situation worse. Anytime there is a a pair of high prio jobs for "Rock", it will move rock pairing higher in the priority queue even though such priority comes from a different logistics zone.
Why is it hard to fix?. Make assigned trucks superceed the rest of the logistics system.
I had my suspicions a while back that the logistics system is poorly designed and needs to be rewritten. All you need is a queue of requests and an agent assigning trucks in turn to each request in the queue order. The order of the queue set by building priority (set on trigger, not changeable after placed in queue), and placement in the queue set by the materials reaching a threshold as set by the user. Or in the case of non storage buildings by the amount reaching truck size (in the case of full trucks only) or simply by the end product being present (in the case of partially filled trucks).
Sounds simple and logically sound, why can't it be done?
