    Usage:

    sendresources coords type local_min remote_min min_batch max_batch trooptype

    Example:

    sendresources any food 1b 100m 50m 100m
    sendresources TrebCity stone 30m 100m 5m * cavalry

    Sendresources is used to instruct the bot to automatically transport certain resources to certain destinations when the conditions specified are met. As an example, you can tell the bot to send 10mil wood to any of your cities that fall below 5mil wood, while keeping at least 10mil in the sending city.

    Sendresources tends to look more complicated than it is. The things to remember are as follows:

    • Coordinates to send to can be in either xxx,yyy or city name format including "any". When using a city name, the destination must be on the same account.

    • The bot will not put the sending city below the local_min amount.

    • The bot will not put the receiving city above the remote_min amount.

    • If you specify a minimum_batch and that amount would put the sending city below it's local_min, or the receiving city above it's remote_min, then it will not send yet. It will wait until the batch size is ok to send.

    • If you specify a maximum_batch and that amount would put the sending city below it's local_min, or the receiving city above it's remote_min, then it will not send the maximum amount. It will instead send a smaller amount (assuming minimum_batch allows it to).

    • If you do NOT specify both a minimum_batch and maximum_batch size in the goal, but do specify one number as a batch, it would treat that number as the maximum_batch with no specified minimum.

    • If you do NOT specify either a maximum or minimum batch amount, then it will send as it sees fit to.
    • If the receiving city is critically low on something (the bot considers 50% or less of the remote_min to be critically low) then it will ignore the minimum_batch and send less to get resources there in a hurry.

    • The bot takes into account resources that will be arriving before the transport could arrive when calculating how much is needed at the receiving city.
    • You can use an asterisk (*) to signify "any" amount for the local or remote minimums or the batch sizes.
