I have come across the same issue in every play-through I have done, that a goblin camp is too far away to loot, I have to leave a container to be filled and that’s only if the hearthlings feel like it, then I have to move the container back to town and again, the hearthlings AI just isn’t good enough yet.
I think that a flag, like the attack and defend flag (which are practically the same thing right now), should be added that tells everyone in the party to drop everything they’re doing and haul everything in an area around the flag to the closest stockpile or container.Same with building, placing/moving/removing objects, and mining (not so much mining because i know that’s going to become its own class soon).
