Herbalist hut

[Cornholio]

Hello,
i have a tow questions about the herbalist hut:
1.) Do i have to change the priority of what to gather EVERY SEASON? For instance now that it's spring my herbalist should gather only herbs, but obviously i'd like her to gather mushrooms in autumn as well.
2.) Is the output of herbs really that low? For instance i have set broadleaf plantain to 35% now and it says she'd only collect 7.66 (per day?)?!?!
Am i doing something wrong? Please help!

1. Yes. Or have different huts, and move the worker.
2. Untill they level up, yes. Dont think its that low myself, but we all think differently.

1) Yes or just ignore the warnings. it's annoying but that's the way it works. I do the same with things like barn workers having no oats to thresh when I know there will be next season - easier to ignore the warning than have to remember to reset the production next season.

2) My herbalist is also very slow, but hopefully improve will over time as their skill improves.

@hubbemattsson - so it took me 3 minutes to type that

okay thanks. I like the idea with having two huts, but it would be best if we could set priorities for each season :(

My main instruction to the herbalists is: in summer, gather henbane and deadly nightshade, in other seasons it's gathering enough herbs for potions (possibilities/sobriety for changing skill focus, broadleaf plantain, st. John's wort). Otherwise, I direct them to create potion of night vision which I need for "night hunt" so I can see predators more clearly. It also helps if I'm galloping through the mountains and forests at night. If there are no more tasks for the herbalist, I assign them to other tasks appropriate to their skill level, but gathering henbane/night shade and making potions of night vision are the main tasks.

Honestly... I find it's just easier to not have an herbalist at all. You can basically use the more valuable resources gathered by pretty much anyone else to barter for any potion or herb you will ever need.

That's true but I like to interact with all of my NPC on one level or another.

I have my herbalist hut set up for the whole year, and I never change it.

I just go in and change my priorities at the beginning of the season before everyone begins work. Remember that any extra buildings that aren't used you still get taxed on. Right now I have my herbalists collect two items during spring and summer and then spend fall and winter making potions that are then sold by my merchant. Soon I'll be ditching the potions altogether and focusing on strictly berries for the tavern production. I can buy an potions I need at a nearby village that has an herbalist.

I also have all the herbs mushrooms for all season on and never take them off. They just pick whats availabe at each season.
During winter most are unavailabe its this time I have set them to craft potions.

There is NO WARNING related to seasonal herbs - that is simply not correct.
If you have the icon which hints at an issue with your production settings it's everything but NOT because your herbalist is set to collect herbs which are not available in the current season.

Please stop spreading this false information. See what else is wrong in your village, it is NOT because of seasonal herbs.

Thankyou Capuzzi09
This is correct as the only warning or problem icons I see in winter is when they are crafting potions and some ingredients are missing once I disable crafting the potions that are missing ingredients there is nolonger any warnings. none.

I was referring, as I believe was tho OP to the "wrong season" warning that appears on the herbalists production page.

And, by the way, there is NOTHING wrong in MY village - it's PERFERCT. Just ask the residents

Sorry, I wasn't adressing you in the first place with my comment - you just happened to mention the symbol showing up for seasonal production issues which is not right.
That was all I wanted to point out, I didn't mean to step on your toes or offend you. :)

It's just that the herbalist's hut and seasonal not available herbs are mentioned again and again as a possible reason for the symbol which is supposed to hint at production issues and this is just not correct.


Either way, I made a little video about this icon which is supposed to hint at production issues in our villages.
I hope I can clarify one thing or another ...

I don't like the way the herbalist hut works ... if you don't have setups for every season, you have to change it constantly. Putting every work order on 5% is every ineffective, also building 2 huts means paying 2 times the taxes and having 1 slot less for other buildings (i know thats not much, but still not balanced).
Even with 2 huts, you still have to manage it, by moving the worker to the new hut ...
