Wild West Pioneers: workshops, Food Store links and warehouse supply

The November 6 patch cuts the Bank's money bonus from 60,000% to 300%. If your income plan relied on the old Bank bonus, expect much less money from it after updating. The Stonemine no longer overlaps nearby buildings. These are the developer's notes; Kingy has not tested them.

If a building showed a Warehouse connection it did not really have, or links did not refresh after another building took over, the October 30 notes list those as fixed. The Warehouse screen now shows more than 14 connected buildings. Carpenters no longer stop in larger settlements, Woodkeeper Workers no longer duplicate, and the Food Shop no longer gives away food when you skip nights. Fields and pastures can be dragged out as a grid. Kingy has not tested these fixes.

The patch increases all building ranges and main-road range bonuses, adds the road bonus to the Saloon and speeds up refugee arrivals in larger groups. It temporarily removes the bad-soil modifiers that could stop farms producing; the developer plans to restore them later with clearer UI. No new numeric ranges or arrival rates are supplied.

The developer reports that upgrading a Food Store could disconnect some linked buildings. That is a specific upgrade bug; the note does not promise that installing the hotfix reconnects every affected save, extends the Food Store radius, or repairs any unrelated shortage. The range increase in this patch is for the Barber Shop.

1. Record the installed build and whether the failure began immediately after upgrading the Food Store.
2. Select the Food Store and inspect the buildings currently linked to it. Save that state before changing the layout.
3. Check for build 0.1.0_19496_20260926_Steam or a later applicable update, then inspect the links and food supply again.
4. If buildings remain disconnected, report the upgrade level, affected buildings and connection view with the build number.

A motionless worker is not enough evidence to diagnose a missing input. Check the recipe and stock first, then watch whether the resident is travelling, waiting or repeatedly spinning. September 27 adds several resident-movement fixes; the note gives no universal reset or confirmed repair for an already affected save. Record the worker, building, route and build if the problem remains.

The September 27 note explained why Farm and Ranch Move buttons were unavailable. The September 30 patch supersedes that for Farms and Cattle breeders: it says they can be moved when no connected fields or pastures are built, and that destroying one removes its fields or pastures. Check the current layout and save before changing it. The notes do not establish demolition refunds or a safe rebuild route for every settlement.

A June 1 demo reply from the Steam account rd_toplitz describes a warehouse near hunters and a butcher, plus another warehouse near the Food Shop and tents. It says the warehouses connect through roads to the Town Hall, allowing the housing cluster to be farther from the hunting area. The account’s developer role was not established by the retrieved page, and the reply predates Early Access. Treat it as a layout to check, not a verified release rule.

The official February logistics journal separately explains that long trips between production and storage can delay supplies even when goods exist. It does not establish current warehouse range, staffing ratios or inter-warehouse delivery time.

1. In an existing settlement, inspect the production-side warehouse and the housing-side warehouse before relocating buildings.
2. Check each warehouse’s road connection to the Town Hall and the displayed local links.
3. Watch whether the needed goods reach the Food Shop and the affected homes. Record the path, stock and elapsed in-game time.
4. If they do not, keep the supply and connection evidence together; an old demo layout alone cannot prove a release bug.

This is a diagnostic checklist based on documented changes, not a tested launch build order. No worker ratios, production timings or exact early-game budget have been verified here.

1. Identify the product you need for the active objective and the building expected to supply it.
2. Check that the building is unlocked, then read its displayed construction and production requirements separately.
3. Inspect its production status and stored inputs. Hotfix 0.1.0_19496 says workshops now wait until all inputs for a full cycle are available before collecting them; it also fixes recipe changes made at night. The installed behavior has not yet been tested here.
4. Check the building’s road connection in building view. The playtest added a highlight for roads disconnected from the wider network.
5. Watch for the expected output or an advancing objective before deciding that another building is needed.

The developer singled out the logger-to-kitchen chain as a source of long waits. Its September 18 response promises cheaper buildings available in the opening hours and adjusted progression costs. The announcement provides no numeric table, so use the values in your build when planning the next unlock.

September 9 says roads can be trimmed at any point. September 18 describes that change as still under investigation. Those statements conflict. Kingy has not verified middle-segment deletion in the release build; avoid making an important layout depend on it until you have checked a disposable segment.

Vintage’s September 27 developer reply suggests consumption may outpace icon refresh, explicitly as a guess. Players report both white markers clearing after opening a house and red needs despite stock and Saloon range.

No repair is confirmed. Clicking the house or upgrading the Saloon is not a proven cure.

1. Open the affected house; compare its need state with the overhead marker.
2. Check finished moonshine stock and displayed Saloon coverage. Observe delivery and consumption instead of assuming that production buildings supply enough.
3. If the need remains unmet, preserve the save and capture stock, household state, coverage, time and installed build.
