Put goods into the nearest warehouse with room and spill into the next

With several warehouses, a cart of grain should go to the closest one that still has space, and what does not fit should carry on to the next, never be lost and never be split into pieces too small to matter. Taking goods out follows the same order of nearness.

Why this works

People expect goods to go where it is closest and to carry on when that place is full. A fixed order of nearness, with ties settled the same way every time, means everyone sees the same result, and nothing is lost because one place was full.

When not to use it

Skip it when each warehouse has a job of its own, such as one only for food and one only for weapons, or when the player wants to choose the destination. Then route by purpose or by the player's choice, not by distance.
