I have noticed Farmers using the Foragers Hut for storage of farmed goods, if the Hut is closer than a Root Cellar.
Hundreds of units of veggies stored there, where the Shelter Stocking items for the Forager’s food and firewood are kept.
While it may initially cut down on the Forager’s Shelter Stocking, it also exposes a large quantity of a time sensitive item to less than optimal storage conditions, resulting in excess loss to rot.
And I am not sure if the Forager is programmed to move this kind of item (farmed goods) to proper storage, like their roots, herbs and berries.
If they are, it takes away from their harvest time to do work that should be done by farmers.
Medicinal Root and Willow are far more important than being a mule for lazy Farmers.
Farmers that have a carrying capacity far greater than the Forager, so a one trip dump by a Farmer can be five trips for a Forager to the Root Cellar.
If the Forager is not programmed to move these items, the items may also be excluded from being processed into long shelf-life goods by the Preservists, who might not be programmed to see the excessive Stocked Shelter surplus as a resource.
