clay furnace families produce very slowly?

[fr3aksh0w]

I have two clay furnaces with maxed out families. yet they can't work through the supply of clay generated by one miner... in the poeples tab I see most of them constantly waiting. when I reduced it to a single family to monitor the output, I see them barely producing one tile a month. This is ridiculously slow I can't imagine this is working as intended

Yea It's the same for bloomery, malthouse, communal oven, charcoal kiln, weavers shop. I found a lot of the families of 3 have atleast 1 transporting/crafting and the rest are just waiting 90% of the time. They mine the resources pretty fast enough like iron and salt included, but making production out of these resources seems rather inefficient and time wasting.

Do not max out families instead build new furnaces.
I don't know if it changed in recent patches but when first out 3 clay furnaces would produce a huge amount more than 1 with 3 families.

Most buildings is better to have more than one building over more families per building. There are a few exceptions.

My current play through I have only two families working on clay furnaces and I must be producing 40ish per month..

Ensure there us a storage unit next to the furnices that storages ONLY clay.
If your families are travelling to get the clay this takes huge amounts of time and unlike a storage worker they move 1 unit at a time.

Sorry a little rambled but you would be better with 3 furnaces each with one family and use the spare family to work a storage unit full time moving clay.

You will them probably need more miners.
