I thought I was gonna use packages to transport around the island, and packed a bunch of things that can't be processed as packages or unpacked, and I have too many for the contracts.
Do I just trash these? My expectation was that a package of charcoal and a package of ore would make a package of charcoal. That I'd just unpack it when I got the product I needed, to streamline a bulk supply chain.
I don't REALLY mind repacking each step along the way, but unpacking seems like it would make packages a really interesting logistical advantage; you could transport in bulk with or without drones, process in bulk by rebuilding your supply chain, and the logistical challenges it adds are sufficient to keep it interesting and fun. All it needs is an unpacker.
Secondary question, are we going to get other production facilities that can use packages? Mega refinery, mega assembler?
A bulk processing type of update is something I'd pay for on DLC. Though it'd probably be of maximum use with a larger playing field for it.
