Saw Pits

[Fizwalker]

I can have 20 logs... A family in my saw pit... The saw pit doesn't do anything. Is this a bug? What am I doing wrong?

[Ranzera]

Gotta have the logs in the Saw pit. The easiest way to make sure they are getting delivered is to assign an ox to the saw pit.

Yeah sounds like your oxen are just too busy to deliver a log.

Don't do it this way. Just have a least one unassigned family at all times to either build or go grab the ox freely.

Lets be honest here. OP isn't far enough into the game to be running around with extra families. He doesn't know this because he's learning the game, he probably just built his first ever saw pit and just wants it to work. Early game, the best way to get logs into the saw pit is by assigning one. Otherwise it's just gonna drag all the logs into the lumber camp instead.

Later you can assign a family to your stable and everything will work smoother, but early game (where OP is having trouble) he just wants logs in the pit, probably right now.

If he assigns the ox to the saw pit then it's only available to that building right?

Part of this game is you sorting your ♥♥♥♥ out for yourself. Don't shortchange your own achievement by not tinkering with your order of things to fix it.

but 2 things.

no ox

no storehouse workers taking planks away fast enough

Yeah, for me this is the game. I like problem solving and optimising. Some players might find this frustrating though.

Yes, that's correct. It's inefficient as hell, but I sometimes do it myself when I've got 5 families in a new region and the church just needs to go up.

I have encountered bugs where camps just don't operate.

I have an issue now where families in both of my logging camps are not cutting down trees and gathering logs. I have an Ox dedicated to each camp, 3 families in each, plenty of forrest, dedicated working area. With several in-game months passing, I am running low on logs and can't produce any fuel for my town.

I have this same issue with my hunting camp. 2 families in the camp, near a full wild animal area, but they will not hunt. I have dedicated the area for them to hunt in and they don't hunt. I am also running low on food because of this.

I have had similar issues with the forager hut.

I can't continue playing because I can't collect wood or food.

At this stage of the game I just switch families around to different jobs until I have spare families a little later. It's a fun part of the game actually.

If pleading with an ai to do what you want is fun to you, then by all means.

FWIW, I'm struggling with this same problem.

I think I get into trouble because I can't afford to buy another ox and my build que is keeping the original ox busy delivering logs to projects.

I wish I could just ask the ox to deliver one log every month or so. Then if I have a long build que I can still make planks. That church and the Manor are depending on it. But my population is growing too.

What part are you struggling with? Lets unpack this.

Wait what? You sounded like it wasn't going too well and you weren't enjoying it.
