Feature Overview

An overflowing warehouse is one of the most common causes of manufacturing bottlenecks on your factory floor. When your main storage stacks hit maximum capacity, your automated forklifts will stop moving, causing your milling machines to back up and freeze production entirely. Keeping your inventory flowing smoothly is essential to maintaining a steady cash flow and avoiding costly factory downtime.

How to Access

You can monitor your inventory volume directly via the Storage Yard located in the center of your sawmill, or by checking the status meters on your Order Board and the Flash Sale prompt area on the upper-right corner of your interface.

 
 

Core Mechanics & Inventory Management

When your warehouse fills up with cants and processed rough lumber, you must use active delivery and sales channels to purge your excess inventory immediately. Utilize the following three main methods to clear your stacks:

  • Increase Order Frequency: Open your primary Order Board or step into the Workshop to accept delivery contracts more frequently. Manually loading up delivery trucks directly drains your warehouse inventory and converts stockpiled wood into liquid capital or Reputation Points.

  • Trigger a Flash Sale: When your inventory levels begin to push dangerous maximum boundaries, a specialized Flash Sale button will dynamically appear on the top-right corner of your screen. Activating this time-limited event triggers an aggressive buying frenzy from customers, rapidly depleting your full storage in exchange for high-speed profits.

  • Leverage Samuel’s Automation: To prevent your warehouse from filling up while you are away, rely on your dedicated sales manager, Samuel. Activating Samuel’s recurring order function allows him to automatically accept and fulfill delivery contracts on your behalf. Upgrading Samuel increases your overall automated storage capacity thresholds and accelerates the rate at which he ships out stored materials.

Tips and Strategies

  • The Strategic Warehouse Fill: If you see the Flash Sale cooldown is almost up, purposefully let your warehouse fill up slightly. Activating a Flash Sale with a completely packed inventory maximizes your return on investment and guarantees your machinery stays active.

  • Prioritize Samuel's Card Packs: Make Samuel one of your highest priority targets when opening BizChests. Levelling him up ensures your factory can run autonomously for hours without getting blocked by a full inventory error.
