Idiocy - I have 1k flour and 10 bakeries and barely anyone makes bread.

[Vatten och Bröd]

As the title says - 1k flour and 10 bakeries. The Bakeries are always empty (0/50) and the people assigned in the bakeries are only "waiting" or "wandering".
I have several granaries too so I dont see the issue. I have one granary with 400 flour but the people assigned doesnt seem to deliver them to the ovens...?

Is this a known bug or..?

[Angelillus]

Is rare. It works for me: if you look at the windmill, the bakers constantly go there to get flour, just like the barn workers do. When there is no more flour in the mill, they take it from the granary.

I do feel turning flower in to bread is very slow. Not sure if the hold up is getting flower to oven or the baking process it self. But I noticed this my self as well.

[Doomed]

My ovens are useless too. No matter how many workers or the location or supplies available they make 1 bread every 30 minutes or so. I finally got the bread baking tech and now my houses make thousands a year.

I am not referring to community ovens but to bakeries (artisans in level 2 homes). Using community ovens is not worth it.

When you have raised your first house to level 2, turn it into a bakery.

Ummm... isn't that locked behind a development point? Second tier as well IIRC. Assuming you do the normal and take 2 trade points first, it means you need to have 4 development points before you can even unlock artisan bakeries.

Have you tried pausing and unpausing your bakeries, see if the resets their AI in some way?

There have been moments where I ended up having to delete a house and rebuild it, sometimes that worked.

But yeah, sounds like an AI glitch factor. My bakeries have so far worked well/make bread at a crazy rate as long as the flour exists.

The marketplace logistics aren’t well implemented so far. Hopefully they get improved in the next patch. There are countless threads about this now and it seems to be a major cause of frustration.

Might need more food haulers. Build more food storage and keep them maxed at amount of people. The issue is storage usually have more items in them then they have stalls yto supply it to market. Meaning you need to specialize your storage more.

Yes it's correct, I forgot, sorry. In any case, communal ovens also work well, although more slowly. It must be taken into account that bakeries produce twice as much bread for each unit of flour.

[Eltoron]

Have you any militia unit raised by the way? If your bakers are enlisted they showed as "waiting".

[Oddible]

Do you have people WORKING in your Granaries or are you just assuming the building will deliver supplies itself. The prioritization of what people are doing is different for a production facility and a delivery facility. Delivery facility personnel will prioritize delivery.

Oh wow, I didn't realize it doubled output. On the high fertility maps, I was already producing a massive surplus, so with the bakery it must be impressive

You wont need bakery when you go trading. You may sell flour for 1.5x wheat and buy bread for $1

Stop farming do trading :D

I like to be self-sufficient with food, even if the game does not include any commercial scarcity mechanics, famines, etc.
