No Servants in Manor

[Shiroyasha]

So after I realised that building Manor walls and such means the Manor 'borders' will overlap the buildings making them impossible to select, I destroyed the Manor and rebuilt it, but no families are willing to move into the Manor as servants despite there being at least 8 unassigned families. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it just a case of the Manors still being a bit wonky and just don't demolish them after building?

Try to set the firewood limit to 10 in the manor and wait a bit, ( click on the manor then on the popup infos increase the firewood ), that's how mine went there.

Unfortunately I don't get any popups, I just got 6 freezing warnings for my retinue and i set the reserves to the manor but no family goes in

It actually worked a few months later, two families just moved in. Thanks a lot bro!

Glad you got it sorted, i think it just took the time to have the 10 stored in the manor, once all firewood is stored in the manor they moved on for me, might have worked with a quantity under 10 too, i didn't tested with less

Yeah from now on I probably won't be demolishing manors lol

Another problem i encountered is that the 6 retainers i have still get cold despite having fuel in the manor. :-:
For the time being lesson learned:
-DON'T demolish manors until the problem is fixed

Maybe you don't have enough market stalls nearby so the fuel is not sent regularly, I have a little market place near the manor, hosting only 3 or 4 merchants, and i had no issues with firewood, but the problem is that you cannot control this sadly, so even if you make a market place there is little chances that a firewood merchant will install there.


What you can try is make a tiny market place and then build another building for firewood making not too far from it with just one family assigned to work there, wait a few months to see if a merchant comes to install, but yeah this game while said to be EA with all features released fully functional as store page claims it, is really broke sadly... in the end spending more time trying to figure out how to bypass the bugs than really enjoying the game itself :/

I'm able to enjoy the game cause that bug aint some disaster and maybe after reloading after winter where they arent freezing might fix it. I was pretty sure that cold is tied to fuel at the home so it would feel weird that the building having individual fuel stockpile wouldn't keep them 'warm'.

Save and restart your game whenever you experience the "people are freezing" but you have ample homes bug.
