Sim Settlements - IDEK's Logistics Station IDEK

How to use: This module adds a new industrial land building - logistics station, and in order to prevent duplication, it cannot be randomly selected by residents.

Construction method: Build an ordinary industrial plot → Select the plot plan → Select the IDEK logistics site → Start construction

Each stronghold can only have one logistics site building

After that, you will automatically get the basic functions of this mod and can no longer touch this building. However, if you want to use the advanced functions of this mod, you need to enable further functions through this building.

Supply line planning:

-When a resident builds or is assigned to a logistics station, he will automatically be assigned to the caravan heading to the nearest base with a logistics station building. As you unlock more and more strongholds and build more and more logistics stations, your supply points will maintain optimal paths without requiring your manual intervention.

-Technically, your supply line network will be arranged as a minimum spanning tree, but if you have any normal non-ILS managed suppliers, this network may appear slightly different. This process is completely dynamic and supports up to 128 logistics sites.

resource:

• Want your farm to be a farm and the city to stay a city? Now you can do it! Strongholds in the logistics network will automatically allocate excess resources, which is more efficient than standard supply lines. All you have to worry about is the total network food and water production (which can be quickly viewed in any logistics terminal) to effectively support the population across the network, and your residents will be happy no matter where your resources are produced - plus, they won't try to prioritize your scarce food resources.

-Similar to the standard supply line, you still need to make the output of resource-producing strongholds slightly surplus to support resource-consuming strongholds. However, this penalty will gradually decrease as the level of the logistics station building increases.

-Distribution statistics are automatically updated once a day, or you can update manually through any logistics terminal.

-Under the hood, redistribution is achieved directly by moving the content of resource-rich strongholds to loss-making strongholds, which will meet the dynamic needs of the SimCity stronghold system and the basic food/water source needs of the original version, and in addition puts less pressure on the game script engine than the standard supply lines of the original version.

Logistics warehouse:

-To provide players with convenience, all stations include a logistics lock box. To set it up, just activate the Logistics Lockbox at any site and get the Logistics Warehouse indicator. Next, place the device into any safe container - ideally a workshop bench in your stronghold, or another container that you manually placed somewhere in your stronghold - and you're done. You can now use this container through any logistics lockbox at any site. Long periods of fast travel can be avoided - which will take even longer if you're using survival mode - now you just have to return to your favorite stronghold and drop off your loot.

-Logistics Lockbox also includes the option to store all your trash with one click.

Automatic collection:

-Once you have set up your logistics warehouse according to the previous instructions, you will be able to use ILS's automatic collection of surplus materials. This function is disabled by default, you only need to simply enable it through the logistics terminal. After activation, the output content of the material output base will be transferred from the workbench of the logistics network to your logistics warehouse container. This process will run automatically once a day, in line with the standard workshop update cycle.

-You can also configure the categories of items you want to collect, either in a specific stronghold or globally.
