Minecolonies version

version 1.11-0.6.3282

Expected behavior

• The miner requests enough oak fence for either 1 mine support beam (4), or enough for 1 depth level balistrade. (16)

alternate

• The miner requests 1 full stack of oak fence, in the same way he requires 1 full stack of cobble, 1 full stack of oak planks, and 1 full stack of torches after the initial shaft is completed, and he begins branching.
• The deliverymen leave behind 1 full stack of oak fences, in the same way they leave 1 full stack of cobble, torches, and planks.

Actual behaviour

• The miner asks "I need 1 Oak Fence" every few moments when he isn't given a stack of them.
• Deliverymen do not leave behind oak fences in the miner chest, and only supply them on request.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Build a colony
2. Build a mine
3. Build a warehouse & deliveryman
4. Have 1 oak fence in the warehouse, as requested.
5. See the miner asking for more oak fence not a moment later once he has received his initial request.

Well it's pretty hard to determine how much he will be needing since he requires a lot of them all the time. So changing the number of fences he's asking for to 4/8/16/32/64 wouldn't help much anyways. It would only make him ask less frequently.

The best option (when he has done building the horizontal shaft) is to always give him a stack of fences, a stack of torches, a stack of planks and make sure he has at least a stack of cobble as well. An extra pick and shovel (if they are vanilla ones) IMO.

The fences sadly aren't in his standard kit the delivery people put in his chest (at level 5), where 1 full stack of torches, 1 full stack of cobblestone, and 1 full stack of oak planks is.

I'll alter my bug report, taking in your comment to account.

So the Deliveryman (level 5) will only give him 1 fence when he asks for 1 fence, etc?
If so, then that is a bug that needs to be fixed to ensure that the Miner always asks for 1 stack when he needs any of these materials.

No. Delivery man will give 1 stack. I mean to say that the delivery men, at level 5, pre-allocate the miner resources. Instead of pulling everything out of the chest, they give 1 stack of oak planks, 1 stack of torches, and leave or give 1 stack of cobblestone. I think 1 stack of fences should be added to that.

Yes, there is an Issue currently addressed to this exact thing: issue #642

No Rays, D-man will remove "everything" from workers chests, even tools that the worker leaves there.

I do not know. I did not test to see if delivery men remove tools as well. I do not think so, as my miner has not complained about picks or other tools. Only fences. Maybe its my fault, as I don't have many in the warehouse.

I fired the D-man a while ago due to that issue and chest issues at warehouse. Was waiting for a general D-man fix w/all workers to hire another one. Too annoying to have to run around doing it myself and then have D-man take things anyways...

And then having a really hard time finding anything in the warehouse.. xD

I have 6 deliverymen, all at level 5. No more waiting. Deliverymen can only carry very little stacks. at level 1, 1, 2 at level 2, 4 at level 3, 8 at level 4, and a full inventory at level 5.

So, level 5 deliveryman are WAY better, and extremely efficient.

Is this still relevant?

I am not sure. I can't test it, because the 1.11 client isn't updated.

closing for now
