Porter Station
A Porter Station is a post for a zombie that hauls goods from one part of your base to another. Put a zombie in it, open the station’s window and tick the goods it should carry; it then fills its four-slot pack from the open chests in the station’s area, walks the goods to the station’s destination, unloads and comes back for more. There is one station for each route, each built once from that place’s build desk:
| Station at | Carries | To | Cost | Comes with |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mine | Coal, Iron Ore | the Factory’s heaps | 2 Wooden Planks, 4 Bricks | Zombie Mining (60 red, 10 blue) |
| Quarry | Stone, Marble | the Factory’s heaps | 2 Pieces of stone, 4 Bricks | Zombie Stone Mining (70 red, 10 blue) |
| Sawmill (two) | Logs | the Factory’s wood heap | 2 Wooden Planks, 4 Bricks each | Zombie Lumberjack (75 red, 10 blue); the second after the first |
| Clay and sand pits | Clay, Sand | the Factory’s heaps | 2 Wooden Planks, 4 Iron Nails | Zombie Digging (50 red, 10 blue) |
| Vineyard | Honey, Hops, Grapes | the vineyard cellar | 2 Pieces of stone, 4 Bricks | Zombie Vineyard (150 green, 50 blue) |
| Vineyard cellar | Beer, Wine | the Factory’s drinks pallet | 2 Pieces of stone, 4 Bricks | clearing both vineyard-cellar blockages |
| Supply Storage (two) | 22 kinds of supply crates | the town warehouse’s cellar | 8 Iron Nails, 2 Advanced Details, 4 Polished Stone each | the first: clearing the two well-tunnel and two warehouse-cellar blockages; the second: Wooden Kit II |

Notes
- Nothing is ticked at first. A new porter carries nothing until you choose its goods in the window.
- With several goods ticked, a porter splits its pack between them, about one slot each, rather than filling up with the first.
- It only picks up from open chests in its own area, so the goods must already be there: the mine, quarry and pit zombies put their output into those chests for it.
- Goods it cannot unload stay in its pack. Taking the porter out of the station drops what it carries in front of you.
- The Supply Storage stations are what finally get crates to the town, through the tunnel to the warehouse cellar.
