Homelessness Bug - Up vote for a fix

[Earl Of Sussex]

My approval rating is stuck at around 50% because the homelessness debuff is always in effect.
I have built more than enough houses for the amount of families. I even deleted the original camp, which was recommended in a YT video to circumnavigate the bug.
Sadly the game is unplayable for me.
Hopefully this can be fixed soon.

It will be fixed with the new patch. Just save and load the game was helping me with that issue

Did you convert your initial camp into a workers camp, costs 1 timber, straightaway. This should stop the homeless bug kicking in as it counts as homes for the initial 5 families. Then when you have enough houses you can delete it and they will move into their new homes.

Same problem here. Had to save and reload several times to get it working again. I think the game just gets stuck sometimes.

I have this problem in my 2nd region, after some brigands burned down my houses and i rebulid them, houses stay empty and families are homeless.

I have the problem that new families are moving in instead of the ones being homeless I guess, they still count as homeless with the workers camp

Should be fixed in the May patch

Same issue after raids :(

Greetings,

Once you have at least 5 homes, and they are supplied with all the elements needed for lvl 1 homes the initial camp should disappear.

Start with essential structures in this order: a granary, a storehouse, a logging camp, and a woodcutter. Postpone constructing burgage plots until these are in place. Do not upgrade the Homeless People’s Tents to a Worker’s Camp.

Empty houses are necessary for attracting new villagers.
- Note that if you upgraded your Homeless People’s Tents into a Worker’s Camp, your population won’t move out into empty burgage plots unless you then delete the Worker’s Camp.
While this isn’t a “bug” as such, it is causing a lot of confusion so we do not recommend upgrading the Homeless People’s Tents in your starting region.

Additional note:
How do I increase my population and maintain approval ratings?

- Maintain over 50% approval and ensure space in burgage plots is available.
- A church and multiple food types in your marketplace can significantly boost approval ratings and population growth.
- Immigration is capped at 1 new family per month at 50%-75% approval, and up to 2 per month at 75%+ approval rating, and no new families will appear if there isn’t a free burgage plot
- *There is a potential issue under investigation with people not moving into free housing later on in the game * (later in the game, not initially.)
