Big Ambitions Logistics Guide

Build a clear current logistics route from purchasing or production through warehouses to stores.

Answer first

Quick Answer

Build Big Ambitions logistics in a simple order: get stock into the appropriate warehouse, then use the current logistics workflow to deliver it to stores. Developer guidance confirms that a Purchasing Agent can import to a warehouse and a Logistics Manager can guide drivers to stores; factory output can also be routed to a warehouse first.

The current route model

The current model is easiest to troubleshoot as a chain: purchasing or production supplies a warehouse, then warehouse logistics supplies stores. Developer replies specifically describe a Purchasing Agent importing to a warehouse and a Logistics Manager directing drivers to stores.

How to set up logistics

  1. Set the source of stock.
  2. Confirm the receiving warehouse.
  3. Add the store destinations in the current logistics interface.
  4. Check that a non-zero planned quantity is configured.
  5. Verify the first delivery before adding more stores.

FAQ

Why is nothing leaving my factory?

The developer’s troubleshooting reply notes that a route configured with zero quantities sends nothing. Check the factory destination and its planned amount first.

Requirements

  • Stock source
  • Warehouse destination
  • Vehicle and driver coverage

Steps

  1. 1

    Choose the stock source

    Use purchasing for imported stock or a factory for produced stock.

  2. 2

    Set the warehouse handoff

    Keep the warehouse as the distribution point for store-bound goods.

  3. 3

    Confirm store deliveries

    Verify the route in the live interface and inspect its first completed delivery.

Common Mistakes

  • Sending a route with a zero quantity.
  • Skipping the warehouse handoff for store distribution.
  • Assuming old pre-revamp routing advice still applies.

Next Steps

01Big Ambitions Restocking GuideWhen a Big Ambitions store is not restocking, check the chain in order: source stock, warehouse inventory, route destination, planned amount, driver and vehicle coverage, then the store itself. The developer has confirmed that zero quantities prevent a factory-to-warehouse transfer, and that warehouses are the distribution hub for stores.02Big Ambitions Warehouse GuideIn the current Big Ambitions logistics model, warehouses are distribution businesses: factories manufacture goods, warehouses receive and distribute them to stores. Set up a warehouse only with a clear destination plan, the required vehicle and driver coverage, and a logistics workflow you can verify in the live interface.

Big Ambitions Factory Guide

Build a Big Ambitions factory only when you can support its full production chain: verify the live layout, product inputs, workers, storage, and warehouse distribution first. Official 1.0-era notes confirm a factory overhaul, faster production lines, worker-skill impact, and warehouse/factory logistics fixes, so older conveyor or layout advice may be wrong.
