New Ox do not appear in the livestock tab of hitching post

[MakashiGames]

On my 4th map just been learning the ropes. I have encountered what seems to be a reproducible bug.

At the begging of the game, build a second hitching post and once built order a new ox from this new hitching post.

The Ox will arrive and do it's thin but if you look at the livestock tab in the hitching post ist will show blank.

It makes it really difficult to manage when you get past about 4 ox with a mix of horses.

This is also true for trading posts etc.

I have a similar issue. Built a new Hitching Post ordered an OX but when I check livestock it only says "following" there is no OX around

I think what I put above is slightly incorrect. I think it is if you have moved the hitching post, it then no longer shows which livestock is attached to it.

it may sound dumb, but you could also buy them at the livestock trading post.

they are stuck there for me aswell, but if you then demolish the livestock trading post you can grab them. also make sure to set 2 peoples at the hitching post.

To be clear the ox are perfectly functional. It can just be difficult to work out which hitching post the specific ox are assigned too, so if you are moving stuff around that can cause unexpected delays.

Save.
Load.
They appear then. At least they should, *IF* it says the animal stall is occupied, and it doesn't show up that is. It's still there, you just can't see it until whatever check that doesn't run, runs when you save/load.

If you have a livestock trader, they go there too, so keep that in mind. It has stalls also, and likes to take priority on ordered animals.

If you order one, and it *does not* show up in the stalls, then you have a more serious bug, and not the 'Well, this is goofy' bug.

I haven't explicitly checked but it makes sense based on what I saw earlier which was the oxen showing up in the toolbar! I guess i just played for like 10 hours straight without reload lmao

.... Digging up an old thread, but for anyone else with the problem, you may also need to delete the offending hitching posts, then save and reload. This got mine unstuck after just save and reload didn't fix it. Building the new hitch after the reload got them to spawn right away.
