Once it is done sending trucks (or drones) to buildings that need the resource it will then try to find a warehouse to send the resource to.Building will send an orange truck (or drone) from it's garage to the building most in need.Resources that are on the way are considered part of the building's inventory for the purpose of this calculation. For each resource it will determine the best building to send the resource to based primarily on how many months of inventory the destination building has on hand.Twice a month a building will examine its existing inventory.This ties up construction guys to build all the teamster offices, money in the form of construction costs and budget costs, real estate, and a lot of labor that could be used elsewhere. The typical solution is to litter the map with so many teamster's offices that it makes up for poor decision making. It used half of them up to move the 'right' resource. A Teamster's Office will have 8 workers with 6 of them on duty. The third teamster will finally end up picking up the coal. If the plantation is closer to the Teamster's Office then the next teamster will still pick up more corn and bring it to the dock. Inventory vs Capacity is a draw so now it's a matter of distance. The base carry amount for teamsters is 1000 so now the plantation is at 2000 / 4000 corn and the mine is still at 2000 / 4000. First teamster will pick up the corn and send it to the dock. Lets go back to the first example with the corn and the coal. Both examples illustrate the problem with using inventory vs capacity to decide. The Steel mill had enough steel to produce for 4 months (uses 100 coal per month). The Power Plant had enough coal on hand to keep producing power for 6.67 months (uses 150 coal per month). Another Example: A teamster will bring coal from a mine to a Power Plant sitting with 1000 / 3000 coal instead of a Steel Mill sitting at 400 / 1000. Because the Corn Plantation is 'more full' the teamster will elect to go pick up corn at the plantation and bring it to the dock instead of coal at the mine and bring it to your power plant. Example: You have a Corn Plantation sitting at 3000 / 4000 inventory vs capacity and you have a Coal Mine sitting at 2000 / 4000. Having inventory vs capacity as the primary determining factor does not prioritize the Teamsters in a way that maintains production. Teamster brings the resource to the chosen destination building.If no building is chosen then the closest dock is chosen. The further the building is from its capacity the more likely it will be chosen. Also factored are the building's budget level and the distance from the source building.
