IMO the warehouses are an epic fail, and the farmhouses need to be fixed immediately!
1. The warehouses are way too large of a building
2. Warehouses can only be placed along the shores, so many of the farmhouses can’t be harvested by the warehouses
3. There is such a huge radius between allowed warehouses (no matter who owns them) that only 1-5 farmhouses will be possible per island. This is already causing major conflict between settlers and owners.
4. Warehouses don’t collect any wood or thatch from the farmhouses, but they need wood and thatch to run on. This means they require so much maintenance that they really don’t give much benefit. I’m just fine with getting the resources from my farmhouses as it’s less time consuming.
5. Warehouses should be a smaller building and act similar to crew resource silos – one per company per island , and no radius restrictions to other warehouses
6. The change to the farmhouses where you can only withdraw one stack at a time needs to be reversed immediately!!!!!! I used to be able to empty my farmhouses quickly, but now it takes forever. Quite frankly it might even be faster to go back to the old way and collect resources with animals!!! This is a change that would make me consider quitting the game.
Devs, you may want to consider getting a small focus group of players and running prospective changes by them to get their opinions. Any one of the players could have written what I did above as 90%+ feel the same way, and you could avoid major disappointments to players by doing this. I’ll volunteer to be the first member of the focus group.
