This is exact my feeling about this too.   It was better oversight over eco due to very different gather rates, especially for stone and wood.  Not that fun observation: When a worker gets killed, a male dies as female amimotion and a female as male. Watch this in 0.1x speed and you can recognize this.

I also encountered this problem; I'm also using Windows 11.

They reduce the walking time of your gatherers. I'd say that Wheelbarrow is still worth it, Hand Carts maybe not.

Wheelbarrow and Carts aren't that essential are they? Almost no one gets them unless they have rez to burn.

Can you share it? pls!
