The marketplace does not collect resources

1-2 employees of the market area do not cope with their work. I cannot fill the marketplace with different resources, although these resources are available in my warehouses. More employees 4-8 are needed in the market square!!!

If you watch the workers they’ll often go Idle or “Wandering - Unable to Work” even though there are missing items from the market itself, with ample space to store said items that are only half a block away in a storehouse. Seems like an AI issue rather than a worker amount issue

After your message, it became interesting for me to observe my workers. I watched them throughout the game year. I want to say that my workers were not so often idle (they did nothing 2 times in a year, and that did not last long). Still, I insist that there were more workers in the marketplace, and they should have wagons to move faster.

I thought, why invent something that is already in the game. Ask the developers to allow wagon workers to stock the marketplace vaults.

Because that’s not their function.

It could become their function. Wagons are underutilized as it stands now. I have tons of wheat; I have 6 barns with 16 cows each. I have granaries next to each barn. I have warehouses unchecked for storing wheat. Yet the granaries next to my barns, checked to store wheat only (no flour), are constantly empty. Wagons delivering wheat to granaries, veggies and fruits to root cellars, raw meat to smokehouses, and the finished products thereof and of other factories and processors to warehouses and markets, would be ever so much more efficient than the present set-up.

Laborers who are idle could take care of moving banned goods to some storage that would accept it.
