Communal Ovens arent ovening

[Chritch]

I have an endless supply of flour (700 flour) and I set up 3 communal ovens to make bread. I stationed 3 families to each oven however the output is very underwhelming. Most of the time they are waiting and doing nothing instead of making bread. I have maxed out the refueling to 12 charcoal, turned off the ability to set up a market stall, and created a grainy dedicated to exclusively to moving the bread when finished baking but still move at a snails pace. Any ideas to make them bake bread more efficiently?

Ditch those community ovens and instead get backyard bakery extensions. You'll need the development perk Bakeries.

Unfortunately the backyard extension is not an option at this point in time.

It works for me. I have a granary (or several set aside in a gigantic town), but yeah a granary just for grain flour and bread fairly close to the communal ovens.. Make sure to have granary workers. Sometimes I end up shutting down most of the communal ovens until next harvest and more flour comes in. I can end up with "too much" bread so end up bartering to another of my settlements for something like iron or clay or whatever the farming one has no access to.

But yes the bakery, especially in the extension burgarage at lvl 3 processes the flour into bread at warp speed. lol

3 or 4 families dedicated ONLY to making bread in the bakery is quite a difference than the communal oven where the families assigned there usually have other tasks in their backyard extension as well.

Another tip is don't have them all 'on' for market stall access. Then they don't waste time with that and the bread goes right to the granary by the granary workers.

Community ovens have gotten an efficiency boost in the new update beta. I wouldn't discount them after the update goes live, unless they nerf them again. But I don't see that happening.

I'm not using the beta yet. I did read that though. That's great all the fixes and improvements from the sound of it.
Just gotta get all the bugs ironed out first, I guess. ;)
