Hauling

Hauling is a job that your colonists do to move commodities from the ground, the stockpile, or workshops to allow the colonial economy to function.

Take the logs commodity as an example; colonists assigned to chopping down trees turn the trees into logs, colonists then haul the logs from the ground to the stockpile. From the stockpile they are hauled to either another patch of ground with a building template, in order to construct the building framework, or the stockpiled logs are hauled to the Carpentry Workshop for processing into planks. Once the planks are created, they are hauled back to the stockpile to continue the cycle (this time with planks).

Your Work Crews' ability to perform hauling jobs can be toggled on and off in the 'Work Crew' drop-down list. When toggled 'off', the work crew will not do hauling jobs, and will rely on other crews to shuttle goods around.
