I had an issue with my Sawpits not producing.

I finally fixed it by simply building more Hitching Posts/Stables and hiring Oxen. At around 4-6 everything was flying along.

Also make sure to dedicate an Oxen to each Sawpit you want working, you can assign them under one of the tabs with the building selected.

Yep. Might help. When the oxen are busy carrying logs to the construction sites, the sawmill sits empty.

i had plenty of oxe around, i thought of it also, ended up with 20 oxen to test it out and still no production at all, made a new save with only the 5 houses setup and minimum workplaces for oxen so thay would be free for transport but none worked sadly

Assign an ox to your sawmill, this should solve it.

I've noticed in one of my games that the sawpit is the last one to get timber if anything else is being built. Was waiting for ages. lol

Weird, it did help me.

Same. Had to fire all families, then Demolish Sawpit, Then hired more Oxen. Perhaps my new mules took their stable space? Maybe just Buying more oxen would have been enough to fix the issue. So its solved most likely due to not enough OX power.

Give the saw lit a dedicated oxen & put it right outside the loggers camp. I've got 4 loggers in a square with 4 saw pits next to the & two stable blocks with 4 ox in. I'm buried under planks.

what are your log reserves at on the sawpit building ?
for example if you put it to 5, that means your sawpit will not make anymore planks if your logs are equal or under 5.

0 resevertion on logs, 100+ logs in total, dedicated oxen to the pits and still nothing.
pulled fam out and new in ect but nothing worked yet,

If you are still having this problem, I think I figured it. It always happened to me after some attacks, happened to be the ox assigned for the place was killed but was still counting in the stable for some reason. After pulling it out and back in a few times the saw started producing planks again.
