Water crossing of goods
I have ferries on both banks. These are connected to roads and have workers. However, no GOODS are transported across the water (only people). For example from warehouse 1 to warehouse 2.

Is there a solution?

have you tried setting up a warehouse to GET goods.. not accept all? Will that help?

I have the same issue, Delivery men and Traders not using the fully manned Ferry landings

Same, couldn't land trade on the Abu(?) mission unless I built a storage next to the big road and then I couldn't move the wares onto my island. It does transport goods to docks when I sell though.

I also discovered this issue. It works from A to B (and back) but not trips originating from B to A. This is a big deal for maps with islands or where there are several river crossings...

I just happen to create this question before reading yours: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1351080/discussions/0/3777993814845759280/ I hope somebody can report it officially because I'm too lazy to do so.

This is an issue I did encounter already, the cart riders seem allergic to using the ferry.

Tear down and rebuild the ferries.

Entertainers can't cross ferries either

I can confirm rebuilding the Ferry seems to have fixed it for me

Rebuilding didnt do it for me, but I switched from global workforce to recruiters, waited for it to operate, then switched back to global workforce

Well I have replaced and moved ferry landings and this issue works for a bit or only across one ferry landing. Really disappointing, makes the game almost painful to play tbh.

Replacing the ferry one cell aside worked for me

I have had the ferry problem in the On mission. I tried all the workarounds listed in this thread (and more) but to no avail: destroy & rebuild the ferry, destroy & rebuild it but placing it starting from the opposite side, building a store very near (or far from) the ferry on the destination side set at accept all (or get all). Nothing worked, sometimes one of the ferries started functioning for a brief time, but that was all.

In the end I played the Iunet mission instead. It requires just one ferry and it was bugged too, as above. Luckily I could set up the buildings so that I did not have the need to use the ferry at all for goods [Notice: I also had some other bugs in this gameplay: clay quarries and brick factories stopping working (at 100% completed production), which I managed by destroy & rebuild, annoying but not a show-stopper) and walkers getting randomly in a fixed position in one of my residential quarters (I suspect this was caused by the roaming crocodiles, but I'm not sure). Destroy & rebuild worked here too.]

I just recently started playing the game again since about May 2023: I don't remember having seen the ferry bug (nor blocked factories ot stuck walkers) at the time, but I can't be sure.

I then played Rostja without any bug at all, monument construction proceeded smoothly, contrary to what I remember from 2023 :)
