Optimized transportation

In Pico Islands, every good gets a kind of delivery note attached to it. On this note you can see where the goods are to be delivered to and which route they will take. This delivery note is only filled in once and then the busy carriers stubbornly work through it until the goods are blocked at their destination or the route is blocked.

This has led to situations where, for example, a tree log is brought to the warehouse past a charcoal burner, even though he is urgently waiting for new goods.

With this update we have, at the request of the trade union, given more authority to the carriers. A carrier now has the possibility to exchange delivery notes of two identical goods at his signposts.

If the same goods are located at signpost A and B, which cross their way, the carrier is allowed to exchange the delivery notes instead of the goods. This is not only better for the health of the carriers, but also goes much faster.

In a similar way, carriers are now allowed to give preference to delivery notes for production. If there are identical goods on both ways, one of which is to be taken to the storage, he is allowed to exchange the delivery note with the production goods, so that they reach their destination faster.

Similarly, buildings can now intercept goods on their way to a storage. If they find such needed goods in their neighbourhood, they can directly issue a delivery note which brings the goods to the building.

Also, some people living near busy trade routes have complained about the transport noise. As a consequence, we have instructed the carriers to use alternative routes more often in order to better distribute the goods traffic on the road network.

We are constantly trying to make improvements to the game. You can only see these improvements if you open Pico Islands regularly and check it out. That's why we have decided to add Push Notifications to keep you informed about news.

In addition, we improved and fixed the following things:
