Morale Won't Improve

[HorizonZeroMom]

Started a new town in another sector, got all my basic stuff built with 6 extra burgage plots (on top of my 5 original ones), a marketplace, plenty of water, fuel and food, waited 4 months and morale is still at 48% so nobody is moving in.

Is this a new glitch while they're testing out the beta patches?

you need more than one type of food to get moral and a church helps

As I said I've got plenty of everything. I'll move my logging camp workers to the sawpit to at least get the 20 planks needed for the church and I'll see if that helps. What's needed are 7 starting families, not 5 - 1 for logging, 1 for firewood, 1 in the hunting camp, 1 in the foraging hut, 1 in the storehouse, 1 in the granary and 1 to build. I hate having to switch my families around in the beginning - it seems counter-productive

Besides, when you start your first town, morale increases before you even get 2 food or a church. The error keeps saying "homelessness" but it's been 4 months since people were inside appropriate houses/burgage lots, plus there are 6 to spare so there shouldn't be homelessness after 30 days

I've already claimed 4 lands within the first 2 years so I know what to do, I was just curious about why it's doing this now when it didn't do it before

Having the same issue
5 families, 13 burgages + workers camp + all amenities
1 person ranting about being homeless despite being given almost a dozen homes all to himself....

update: blew up the upgraded 'worker camp' because they will not move into houses if the worker camp is still there
Game incorrectly believes it is still a homeless camp

The additional needs (water, food, firewood, clothing, and church) don't exist till you build your first burgage. Build the burgages AFTER you have those needs met. Better to have them be pissed about not enough housing than to be pissed about 5 other things. Trust me, it's way easier this way.
