Whiskerwood Conveyor Belt Guide

Quick Answer

How to set up and optimize conveyor belt systems in Whiskerwood: warehouse integration, input hopper placement, whitelist configuration, and fixing clogged routes.

What This Guide Covers

• Conveyor Belt Setup
• Warehouse Integration
• Hopper Configuration
• Clog Prevention

Detailed Notes

• Setup Requirements

  Research tier 1 conveyor belt in research menu. Requires warehouse with input hopper. Warehouse needs 'assign drop off only' configured for industry use.
• Warehouse Placement

  Warehouse on 1st floor = 2 logs for belt. Warehouse elevated to higher floor = 3 logs + 1 plank. Each floor elevation adds cost.
• Whitelist Configuration

  Click whitelist button on hopper. Select specific resources (e.g., berries, logs, flax, cotton). Without whitelisting, workers won't deposit anything.
• At Warehouse

  Set warehouse to 'reject all' or 'allow all' for nearby workers. Configure input/output settings for industry use.
• Hopper Placement

  Not too far, not too close to workers. Deposit triggers at 3 berries (automatic). Use logistics 'set destination' to force industry delivery to hopper.
• Multi-hopper Setup

  Build circular conveyor belt routes. Place hoppers at key locations. Sacrifice trees if needed (they block placement). Don't place hoppers at edges.
• Elevator Integration

  Elevator entrance must face conveyor belt direction. Rotate elevator entrance toward belt. Elevator shaft goes above entrance. Place hoppers at elevator exits.
• Clog Prevention

  No splitter exists (requested feature from devs). When warehouse fills, everything clogs. Solution: Build additional warehouses, set to high priority.
• Troubleshooting

  Can remove whitelist to 'reject all' to stop clogs temporarily. Use 'set destination' logistics to direct workers to specific hoppers.
• Cost Structure

  Each floor elevation adds to belt cost. Plan elevation carefully to minimize cost while maximizing efficiency.
