A quick question. If this has been asked before, I apologise for the repeat. Are resources moved from the home Islands by rail or land transport, or do you phisically have to move them. I Know that you need to move them from the Northern areas like Hakkaido to Honshu, but are Kyushu and Shikoku consideres linked by land?

Thanks in advance for help.

i would be interested in this too - i thought they auto moved in the continental usa, but i ran witp tracker, which reports a severe resource shortfall in Los Angelas but a serious oversupply in salt lake city - so not sure what the story is with on-map movement of resources.

I'm not sure if it does move via rail to the various islands, however...

I advise that you move the resources manually or with CS convoys since you can do so more efficiently (IE getting it where it is most needed) if you control it yourself.

May just be that I'm an old time WiTP Vanilla player, but I wouldn't trust the AI to stand around and drool because it couldn't do it right.

I agreed with Shark7, dont think they have rail connected between two mainlands.

I plan on moving resources from the outer Home Islands to Honshu. Once dumped in a port there, the AI should do a good job of getting it where it needs to be.

Supply, fuel, resources, and oil all move with pretty much the same mechanism. If there are two ports adjacent to one another with water in between (like that separating two islands), stuff will flow between the two ports. The size of the smaller of the two ports controls how much moves.

Japan has so many ports that I think most of the islands are connected this way and stuff will eventually flow from one end to another, but smaller ports will create a bottleneck.
