Couriers & Delivery
Couriers unlock at EGO Tier 3 and automate item movement between depots, processors, and shops. They are the single highest-impact automation unlock in Go-Go Town!. A mayor without couriers carries every plank and loaf by hand; a mayor with routed couriers focuses on expansions and rank stars. This page covers depot placement, route creation, and fixing broken chains.
Unlock and first depot
Purchase Tier 3 courier pack in EGO tree. Place first depot central to commercial district and existing resource zones.
Open depot UI, create route: source (zone output crate or processor) → destination (shop backroom or second depot).
Hub-and-spoke design
Central hub depot with spokes to wood zone, farm zone, mine, and export dock beats point-to-point spaghetti routes.
Use intermediate depots as buffers when distance exceeds one courier round trip time.
Scaling routes
Higher tiers add faster couriers or parallel routes. Duplicate route only when depot queue icon shows backlog.
Desert spokes need speed upgrades — see map/desert-expansion.
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Idle courier | Empty source or full destination |
| Missing item | Route points wrong crate tier |
| Slow shop restock | Add second route or upgrade speed |
Co-op courier duty
Designate partner to trace routes when shop empty — faster than both players manual stocking.
