Workers dont work

[Ángel]

I started a coop game, and after a whole in game year of playing we definitely arrived to the conclusion that workers dont do anything, they have the tools and full intensity of work, but still they give nothing. Is it a known bug or are we doing something wrong?

[Maehlice]

Based solely on the fact that it works for me, I assume y'all are doing something wrong.

* Assign the worker to the building.
* Put appropriate tools in the building's storage or into resource storage.
* Give the building resource assignments in the Management window.

Within the "Management" tab, is there a red icon of any kind to the right of the affected building(s)?

There are 0 red icons, like everything is fine they have their tools and everything ( like axes for the timberer and knives for the hunters), and also they have tasks assigned. I guess it is bugged for me

Does it show in the management menu that they are working?

Are you sure they are not doing anything? Your villagers might burn the wood straight away already so you won't see it appear.
Or eat the meat immediately.

Noticed if you set a building up (in my case a farm, new game on old map) before you have the items needed in storage it can take NPC's a little while to register the fact they can now work. get a lot of NPC's bug out around the map too, had blacksmith walk backwards to work and I finished a field an NPC was working on and he floated back to the farm building guess there is a bug in the animations after co-op patch

I mean to put an example here is the hunters lodge menu:

(Ignore those red icons in the other buildings, i know they are not working on purpouse)

They have knives that they basically dont use and i can prove it because their condition is always the same and they also stay 24/7 on the building complaining that they feel bad because they dont have any work to do

Now that i look at it also seems strange to me that they produce so little.

How much they produce depends on their skill level. 1 is the lowest, 10 is the highest. So, it is entirely possible that with one being 1 and the other 3 they will not produce that much overall. You can see that in the "Total" column. That is their production per day.

They'll only use one knive at a time and as soon as they use it, you won't find it in the storage anymore. Instead you can see the durability of the tool they are currently using in your first screenshot under 'durability'.

Are you playing as the host, or as the co-op player?

Do you have the proper storage houses, where the workers can store their products?
If not check workplace chest.

Maybe thats the answer, but is it normal then for the workers to stay inside the lodge all the time saying that they dont have any work to do? Idk maybe in coop mode it is different than in solo, but i remember seeing them go hunting and all of that in singleplayer mode

Yes! the thing is the durability doesnt lower, it's always the same because i suppose they simply arent using them (i placed stone and copper knives just in case)
I'm the host.

I have both food and the normal storage building

Could you upload your savegame? Then I'll have a look.
You can find your savegames in %AppData%\..\Local\Medieval_Dynasty\Saved\SaveGames.
To upload it, just use a site like wetransfer.com to create a link for you that you can paste here (no need to make an account on wetransfer, just click the 'i just want to send files' link.)

[Fenumeher]

Perhaps the chest in your storage is full?

Oxbow should have the same mechanic for hunters as the Valley: they will only go out and hunt (as per the animation) if deer are nearby that they can hunt.
