Game breaking Clay Mining Bug

[Gregor Clegane]

Lame ....several hours into my play through and run into a game breaking bug. Built my clay mining pit a bit late, as I needed to upgrade my church.

There is no connection part, placed the mine at the clay deposit, all connected to a road, and clay furnace is between my town and the clay deposit. Workers in store house, workers in the mine but they never produce any clay.

After doing some research it looks like this is a common bug and quite a few others have run into it.

Not sure I have it in me to start all over again.

you can always just trade for the clay

Yup.
It gets a little expensive to trade in *lots* of stuff (for an early town I mean) but at least just to build the church - and I think lvl3 houses need some too -you can import in clay for requirements. Once you get a fair bit of leveled up houses (even a bunch of 2's work) you'll start making more funds for trading later if you wish.

Or claim other regions eventually and barter for some clay from it w/a resource you do have a lot of.

check to see if u have another building next to the clay pit/ mine

as they cant share land with close by building

i encounter this twice, both time are because theres other building next to it.
i didnt know the first time, 2nd time i deleted the building next to it and it back to normal

i believe its similiar to the building mechanic will delete resource on ground.
other building close by killed the iron/clay

but might need further testing, as i didnt do another test to confirm it

Do you have charcoal ?

[Gregor Clegane]

No, I don't have charcoal and no there is nothing near the Clay pit, it was a bit farther away from my village.

Just ran into this exact same bug. Almost 6 months later and no fix. Kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ If you ask me

The clay pit goes on top of the clay deposit, not next to it, something those nimrods back in May apparently never figured out.

And if you have rich clay, you can get the deep mine dev perk and mine clay forever.
