Seems deliveries go into one storage only and if that is full then they are not delivered at all

You should stock up on leather trade even if you can't use it yet. You're going to need thousands (I'm not kidding) between research and tier 3 gear for you entire population

I can't get past the liberate a village, can't seem to take out brigands alone and helpers take off because they are hungry by the time we get to padstow lol

Deliveries have very small limits based on the settlement size. But you seem to have unlimited delivery capacity must be a mod?

Well I dislike this game because of loot system. The bandits with full armor attack you and you can't take the gear from dead.
