Match a warehouse symptom to the official patch that changed it before rebuilding the room or hiring more workers.
Update through the latest hotfix before rebuilding a warehouse: versions 1.0.1–1.0.6 changed stock checks, forklift stacks, packaging speed, storage-worker behavior, and delivery timers.
Warehouse advice changed repeatedly during the first two weeks after release. Before moving shelves or hiring a large team, compare your symptom with the official fixes below and confirm that Steam has installed the latest build.
Symptom and patch map
| Symptom | Official change |
|---|---|
| Stock Manager does not refill soon enough | 1.0.1 changed its check from weekly to daily and raised the threshold to 25% |
| Large Office storage worker starts in the wrong place | 1.0.1 fixed the spawn location |
| Stock screen does not explain a capacity problem | 1.0.2 added a warning animation and fixed its size warning |
| Forklift mishandles mixed products | 1.0.4 fixed mixed-item pickup and increased the maximum stack to 8 |
| Storage workers fail to package cargo | 1.0.5 fixed that failure and increased forklift packaging speed |
| Crates move slowly or delivery does not resume after loading | 1.0.6 improved crate movement and forklift packaging, and fixed rare delivery-timer and item-registration failures |
What to do first
Update the game, load the affected save and check whether the exact queue begins moving. If the problem is an empty shelf while boxed stock remains in the warehouse, look at the Stock Manager state and whether workers are packaging or carrying another product. If completed cargo reaches the delivery station but its timer remains stopped after loading, that matches the rare issue fixed in 1.0.6.
Do not solve every delay by hiring more people. Current community reports show that very high international order volume can still outrun restocking even with workers and forklifts present. That is a reported balance or throughput problem, not proof that one universal layout will fix it.

QUICK ANSWERS
Questions players ask next
Why is stock not reaching the shelves?
First update beyond versions with known storage-worker and mixed-item pickup bugs. Hotfixes 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 fixed both behaviors; a continuing problem on 1.0.6 may be a remaining throughput limit or a new bug.
How many items can a forklift stack?
Hotfix 1.0.4 increased the maximum stack to eight. Older guides that use the previous limit are out of date.
Was the delivery station timer bug fixed?
Hotfix 1.0.6 fixed a rare case where the timer did not start after loading and another where moved items were not registered.
