I know there is a button in the bottom right corner giving me the tonnage possible in a WH or MP, but that number seems to make little sense to me. For example, a MP might show 70t in the bottom right, but the total of my matl's is a number much greater than 70t. I figure that the 70t is the number for just that particular MP, but how do I know if I need more room for that location or the entire island in general? Without waiting for exclamation marks that is... Does it have something to do with the gray bars to the right of each quantity of goods? Thanks.

The amount each one displays gives you the amount by which that one increases the total. The overall total is basically what you need to be concerned with as far as storage capacity. As long as there is room in the overall capacity there is room(automatic teleportation to the marketplace with free space :biggrin: ). If you have plenty of overall capacity and are getting exclamation marks, it is not the nearby market building being full, it is more farms/facilities than the number of cartpushers are able to manage. The need for another market in that case is to have more cartpushers to service those facilities.

OK, so there is *no* overall number or 'percentage of overall usage' available to see? You pretty much just have to wait for the exclamation marks (I know, you start to get the feel after awhile where to add or upgrade a MP)... I guess I can live with it. :wink:
