Transport Fever 3 warehouses: catchment and storage

Quick facts

Documented answer

Warehouses transfer cargo through a station's catchment and do not require road access. Town buildings and factories cannot directly consume their stock; you must provide the onward transport. ↗

Procedure

Place the warehouse within the relevant station catchment and configure its modules. Inspect Stocks to confirm which cargo is accepted and stored. Connect an onward line to the actual town or industry consumer and watch one completed transfer before expanding storage.

Diagnose the result

If stock grows without deliveries, inspect the onward service and destination. If cargo cannot enter, inspect catchment and module configuration. Adding road access alone does not repair a missing station transfer or create direct factory access.

Common mistake

Expecting a nearby factory or town to collect warehouse stock without a transport line.
