Imagine the "magical stockpile" gets fully removed. All items need to be physically transported from A to B, with a combination of something like delivery men, conveyor belts and trains. How would you rate this change?

We could leave the early game like it is, and constrain "items that need transportation" to later in the game. This means there are "two systems" in the game. What's your opinion?

We could focus on other features that have less impact on the core gameplay, and reserve the ideas about logistics for a potential sequel. How do you feel about that?

Logistics "inside" colonies could function like they always did, with the "magical stockpile", while trade between colonies receives an overhaul. Here you'll have to build paths between colonies, with tunnels and bridges, and for long distances, safe sleeping places for the travelling colonists. What's your opinion?

The idea above could also be combined with realistic logistics inside of the colony. How do you feel about having both?

How do you feel about a feature that allows players to "clear" the world of monsters (but, for example, forcing them to defeat the same amount of monsters at a portal), allowing them to safely expand in a much wider area than just the safe zone?

Delivery men and other specific features
One of the ways in which 'realistic logistics' could be implemented is by delivery men, special colonists with a larger carrying capacity, which bring items from one "mini-stockpile" to another. Important routes would be for example those from miners to smelters and crafters, from ammo-crafters to guards and the one from farmers to 'food crafters'.

The "mini-stockpiles" can be used regularly by other colonists, to gather their ingredients and store their output.
What's your opinion about the addition of delivery men as a feature, who bring items from one stack of crates to another?

Should these delivery men mainly work automatically (based on the needs of workers), or mainly based on the explicit orders and requests of the player?
Automatically

What's your opinion about the addition of conveyor belts, which have to be built by the player and can continuously bring large amounts of goods from A to B?

What's your opinion about the addition of pipelines, which can continuously pump fluids and gasses from one place to another? This could be used to implement for example oil drilling and processing, and steam-powered machines.

Thanks for completing the survey! :D Is there anything else you'd like to tell us?
