Setting Up Automated Freight Deliveries to a Colony

Instead of relying on instant item teleportation, you can deliver factory materials to your builders using realistic train shipments.

Establishing the Freight Depot

Before running trains, make sure your MineColonies settlement has an active Town Hall and Warehouse. Once these structures are operational, construct a Freight Depot within your colony borders. Access the depot interface to hire your essential logistics staff: at least one Logistics Coordinator and your Packer Agents.

Linking Storage and Laying Tracks

1. Lay a railway line connecting your main factory storage vaults directly to the depot stop inside your colony.

2. Equip the linking tool in your hand.

3. Use the linking tool to establish a connection between your Freight Depot and your storage stock ticker at your factory.

4. When local colony builders make construction requests, the Logistics Coordinator identifies the need during daily checks and orders raw materials from factory storage.

5. When the train pulls into the Freight Depot stop, hired Packer Agents will physically walk up to the train cars, unpack the cardboard supply boxes, and haul the goods directly into local circulation.
