I'm in Itjtawy and I'm trying to export Papyrus for income.
On the west side of the Nile, I have a Storage Yard (the green Storage Yard in the image below) set to Get Papyrus.
The "sweet spot" (where walkers enter and exit) should be at the first adjacent square where there is a non-Roadblocked road starting at the north corner and wrapping around clockwise.
Since the source of the Papyrus is on the other side of the Nile, I'm expecting the cart pusher to exit the green Storage Yard at the gray road square and head to the Ferry. But he shows up on the pink road square, remains visible for one tick, then disappears (repeat, repeat).

If I cut back the road by the pink road square, he does the same thing at a purple road square instead.
This is the only Storage Yard that has a Get order for Papyrus. Some other Storage Yards Accept Papyrus but don't Get it. I've tried getting Papyrus from a Storage Yard near the other Ferry terminal, connected by road, and from a Storage Yard farther away, with no road connection. Everything is fully staffed with good access to workers and some unemployment. I am not stockpiling Papyrus although I do want to export it. My computer is turned on.
In an attempt to manage each side of the Nile separately, I've kept them disconnected -- with the exception of the green Storage Yard and its Ferry terminal being part of the east side group instead of the west.
I suspect the road between the green Storage Yard and the Ferry is being overlooked by the walker -- if I move the Storage Yard down and make the road longer, or if I add little elbows to it, it works.
If I set the blue Storage Yard to Get Papyrus instead, it works just fine.
It's also possible that Storage Yards, like Temple Complexes and Water Supplies, are an exception to the usual "sweet spot" rule.
What's going on?
