Ox, Waiting, a guide is coming

[aimlezz]

Bought two ox's and they just stand on the road...nobody is picking them up. Is there a way to fix this?

[Vampirkeks]

No idea how to fix it, butt I have a similar problem: all my oxen are stuck at the logging camp. Resettling the camp does help for some time, but sooner or later they all are standing there again, doing notihng. Meanwhile construction sites wait for timber...

Save and reload helped me.

[DupLawyer]

I had this too, the save and reload seems to have unstuck it but things aren't moving well since this happened. not sure if its a bug or I'm doing something wrong with ox's etc

[aimlezz]

OK so it turned out there was a bandit camp near the Ox's and villagers were scared to get close. Once I cleared the camps, my villagers collected the Ox's...

Quick check list:

1. Do you have hitching posts with slots available in them?
   
2. Do you have any unassigned families available?
   
3. Do you have a family assigned to the stable/hitching post?
   
4. Are there enemies nearby?
   
5. Is there a road available nearby?

Saving/reloading sometimes works, but it's just resetting the AI. If there's some kind of bottleneck somewhere with the AI that's usually what's causing this. This is why I always have a family (you really only need 1) assigned to a hitching post/stable.

1. yes, two stables with one slot free each
2. yes, several
3. didnt at time time, but when assigning them now it doesnt fix
4. playing with no enemies currently
5. yes

ive also noticed that ALL construction has stopped. theres stuff that needs to be built, and i have a feeling its because both of the ox have bugged out. people are just walking to and from their houses

Have the same problem my ox is stuck at the hitching post.

[Colman]

do you have any free families to work construction or guide the oxes?

[klimothy splinge]

destroying the hitching posts/stables and waiting for the ox to run away also doesnt fix it. they do disappear and the AI who were stuck start moving again, but still no construction is getting done.

honestly best fix right now is to just start a new save or, better yet, wait until the next update cos Greg (the dev) says he is focusing solely on bug fixing for the next update. hopefully then it will be fixed

Guys, I found a possible root of the problem. At least it worked for me.

Please check if you have assigned an Ox to some building where you do not have any families working (logging camp, saw pit, etc.). You can find an animal assigned in “advanced” after clicking on a building.

This worked for me! Just assigned the ox to the woodcutting camp and it got unstuck

I bought horses and mules and they just stay hitched on their post. Lol

Only oxen work for now.
