Sheep waiting

[Demien]

Hello. I know there are other sheeps post but they didn't solve my problem. All my ships (20) are stuck in the trading post and will not move. Farmer are going there to work them but I'm not sure it's working. Sometimes I see popup a wool but it doesn't seems enough to me. Anyway this is what I tried:

• Unassigning family from living stock trading post
  
• Unassigning families from sheep farm
  
• Deleting living stock trading post and creating new one
  
• Deleting pasture and creating new one
  
• Reloading multiple times
  
• 1 year in game has passed

What else can I try to make them move?

Build a pasture to hold the sheep.

I don't usually mess with sheep, but I know there is a "sheep farm" building in addition to pasture plots. Do you have both pasture plots and a sheep farm?

I have the sheep farm. The farmers are doing (kind of) their job but at the trading spot instead of the pasture that should hold them. The same pasture that is showing all the sheeps, all waiting.

I unblocked them finally. I will post this here for anyone having the same trouble and that tried everything I listed already. Sell them. I sold around 8 when they started moving to the pasture suddendly. It's a small loss of money anyway. More a loss of time actually.

Nevermind, I started importing again and they are stuck again the trader. Meh.

I'm watching this thread. My sheep just camp at the trading post. Please advise, thanks.

same. previous game it worked fine . but in this current town only two of ten went to the pasture. the rest just hang out at the trading post.

I destroyed the live stock exchange.
eventually the stray sheep moved to the pasture.

Again just build the pasture first then the farm and livestock trading post ....I have never had the sheep do anything other than what they are supposed to do. Everything in this game depends on something else to function, each building depends on something else to function.....eg: level 3 buildings need ale.... to make ale we need barley, to turn barley into malt we need a malt house, to turn malt into ale we need a level 2 backyard brewery extension then we need a tavern to distribute the ale. Even if we just buy the ale it then has to go from the trading post to either the tavern or to a granary then the tavern.
There are many bugs so far recently at the start of a match I tried to move the animals location which usually works but this time the critters just buggered right off the map. I located them by following a hunter than i placed a corpse pit on top of them and they all moved back to my town! but get this they moved to the middle of a residential area yes right in town. My guys were hunting and the deer did not bail again......weird stuff. But it is to be expected with an unfinished game.

If you actually read my post you would knew I tried to delete and rebuild again. For ME it was only solved by exporting and reimporting the sheeps but then it started again.

I have the same issue :

> I build a pasture before importing (sheep farm slots doesn't work alone, they will stay in the trading post)
> If some are stuck (they don't since I build a pasture first), I delete the trading post an wait for every single sheep to go back to the pasture.

@all,
how long did you wait?
I had the same problem, one sheep in trading post and another one frozen in the neighbour region, but both accompanied by a family member. They did not show any signs of moving to the pasture. As I was occupied with other activities I did not take care, but suddenly after quite a long time of inactivity both sheep arrived at the pasture.

Question for everyone -- Are you getting wool? If you cannot tell, give your Weaver the day off, then see if you are getting Wool? If so, how much?

I had some sheeps stuck like that in one game, but the herders at the sheep farm were still shearing (except in winter, or course), so I didn't care where the sheep were actually living.

Yes, me too. Even the "frozen" sheep in the neighbour region was sheared and the weaver took the wool back to his farm.

New game, same problem. One sheep frozen in a fenced up fallow field, one frozen in the live stock trading post and I have no idea where the two others are. It seems as if one is somewhere outside the map, for more than a year now. Never the less
from time to time my farmers are carrying wool to my sheep farm.
I already tried to sell my sheep, but it seems as if I have only access to the frozen one in the trading post.
I leave it as it is, my settlers are happy with leather and shoes, too😄
