Pack Stations Explained

Learn how to build and manage Pack Stations in Manor Lords! This guide explains setting up trade routes, assigning mules, and transferring goods between your settlements.

Alright, let's talk about Pack Stations in Manor Lords. These are super important for getting your settlements to help each other out. Think of them as your own little trade routes!

Here's the rundown:

1. First things first, you need to open up the logistics menu. You'll find this in the main building menu. From there, just select the Pack Station and plop it down wherever you need it.
2. Once it's built, you can assign your hard-working mules and available family members to staff it.
3. Now, if you don't have a mule already, you'll need to grab one from the Livestock Trading Post. You can import them using your Regional Wealth.
4. To set up a new settlement and connect it, you'll need to earn some Influence and claim the territory.
5. After claiming new land, build another Pack Station there.
6. Boom! You've just created a caravan network. Your settlements can now transfer goods to support each other.

With your Pack Stations up and running, you can assign a family member to work at each one. Then, you get to choose which resources you want to send over using the pack mule. It's pretty similar to how Trading Posts work, actually. You can import and export resources between your settlements directly. So, pick what you want to export from one place, then head over to your other settlement and select the goods you want to receive. The Pack Station will then set up a direct trade route, making things super easy.

Heads up: If you're moving a ton of goods, it's going to take multiple trips. Pack Mules have a carrying capacity, so keep that in mind if you're trading a lot between your towns.

When your Pack Station is all set, select the items you want to export. Then, you'll set up a 'partner' Pack Station in another settlement to send those goods to.

Remember, you absolutely need a Mule for the Pack Station to function. To get Mules in Manor Lords, you'll need to purchase them from the Livestock Trading Post. You can import them using your Regional Wealth. You only need one mule per settlement for each Pack Station you want to set up. Once you have your mule, click on the Pack Station, go to the 'Advanced' tab, and assign the mule to work there. That's it – your Pack Station is fully set up, and you're ready to start trading resources across your growing empire!
