villagers say no water

[easterngames]

so got a well and a water girl fills the bucket and waterskin. but they still show no water for them to drink.

[Goldi_Toplitz]

Do they arrive in the food storage? And have you enabled them for consumption?

[easterngames]

everything is marked for consumption. they just wont eat or drink. i have to manually place firewood in the resource building for them to use that. they have houses and should have water but wont use it.

You do have a food storage building right? It's different from the resource storage. All food and drink for villagers goes in the food storage where your villagers can pick it up automatically.

[Goldi_Toplitz]

If all fails, send us your save and we can check.

[easterngames]

food storage building too? jeez. need 10 buildings just to get 2 villagers to not starve or dehydrate to death. but nope dont have that yet.

and cant build it either.

[Goldi_Toplitz]

As long as you don't have one, you can put food, water and firewood into the chests of the individual houses as well. Each villager can use what is in the chest of his house.

[Morri]

If you don't have one, then you have no other option than to put the food and water in their house chest manually :-)

haha some AI, have to literally micromange em like dogs.

and cant build food resource building because its locked behind farming tech.

[Goldi_Toplitz]

Once you have the two storages you are very close to leaning back and letting them handle it. Those are where they put what they produce and from where they take what they need.

Unlocking the resource buildings is easy. I believe laying out a field or orchard and work the ground is all you need to do to unlock the food storage building. You do not need to fertilize or plant anything.

Just to confirm this, just got the game yesterday, and created a field (5x5 I think) and used the Hoe on the soil, no fertiliser, no planting anything (it was winter). The food storage unlocked at that point.

Before then, I just manually put water and food into the houses. First thing I set up was hunting, with my first two villages both working there (man + woman, so only needed one house). I've got 4 villages now, the two hunters, plus one on a well, and another at a Woodshed (again male + female, so less houses needed).

Only manual work I need to do currently is crafting a few buckets at the workshop, and making sure I've got some stone axes and knives in storage, as tools for the workers. (I craft 10 at a time and they last days each so far).

keep in mind, man + woman + short time => pregnant 3 seasons later 8 seasons childhood (no working woman)

Fair point, it's my first play through :-)

That's by far the shortest way to put it I've seen. :D
