The exact factory-to-warehouse checks supported by current developer replies.
Route factory goods to a warehouse first, then let the warehouse supply stores. In the current system, factories and warehouses have different roles.
Fix order
- Confirm the factory has actually produced the item.
- Open the factory's logistics configuration—not the warehouse's store-delivery screen.
- Confirm a logistics manager is assigned to the factory.
- Confirm a driver and compatible vehicle occupy the factory delivery slot.
- Choose the intended warehouse as the destination.
- Enter a target greater than zero for every product you want moved.
- Confirm the destination warehouse has free pallet capacity.
- Advance through the delivery cycle and inspect both locations again.
In one current developer-assisted case, screenshots showed the factory was pointed at the correct warehouse but every product target was 0. Nothing moved until a non-zero amount was requested.
Why “send 1” often looks broken
Delivery targets are item quantities, not boxes. A value of 1 asks the system to maintain one item. If the destination already contains at least that amount, no new shipment is needed. Set the desired stock level, not the number of packages you expect to see.
Factory, warehouse, and pier destinations
| Destination | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Warehouse | Feed your own distribution network and stores |
| Importer/export pier | Sell eligible factory output back through the supported destination |
| Store | Use warehouse logistics for normal retail restocking in the current model |
If the configuration is correct
Capture the factory stock, destination, target values, assigned manager, driver, vehicle, time/day, and warehouse free capacity. Then submit an F2 report. “Factory does not work” is difficult to reproduce; the full chain reveals whether the failure is production, routing, capacity, scheduling, or an actual bug.

Why is my Big Ambitions factory not delivering goods?
A factory sends output to a warehouse, so verify a staffed production line, a linked destination, and a delivery target above zero before treating it as a bug.
