Let's Talk About Fortified Walls

[PewPr]

I waited to do walls in my new game until I unlocked the fortified brick walls. Had plenty of materials in storage to make about half outright, set the foundations, and waited... And waited... Checked the worker assignments, they were assigned. Dedicated ALL my workers after a couple days of nary a single SEGMENT completing. Hit the fastest speed in the game and sat there for five more days while progress nudged up about 2% ever day. Finally gave up. Why on earth does it take so long to build these walls? The materials are all literally right there, the workers are assigned, so do your jobs!

I think the issue is the speed days go by honestly, time taken to get to the job etc and before you know it, night time.

(Not saying the build time isn't also an issue but the day speed is deffo a factor)

Workers work from 6am to 5pm, right? My workers didn't have to go far to get the materials at all, so unless they're all drunk and/or stoned (distinct possibility, given the AI in this game), you'd think they would've completed at least a single segment of wall over the span of 7 days. Seems to be something with the worker allocation per-segment vs. the completion time per-worker. Pretty strange. I can knock out an entire building in half the time it takes my workers to contemplate a single wall segment's future.

It depends on how you build these walls, if it's one by one or if you manually allocate a good amount of workers, it will probably come out in 7 days or less. Now that you've just defined the walls and let the workers manually allocate themselves, they probably split into all the walls and ended up with none getting the minimum amount of workers needed to have "normal" development.
Sorry, my English is from Google Translate.

I put up the scaffolding and assigned all my workers, but at least half the segments had full assignments. Perhaps the assignment limit needs to be raised? Dunno. They're just friggin walls, lol. Shouldn't take a week to build. I guess I can try smaller groups of segments and build those one at a time

Its probably a bug. Ive had issues with getting my buildings made. The only thing that's fixed it for me was loading a save to before i started building, or unassigning and reassigning workers. also don't forget to write a bug report. the more reports on this bug, the sooner itl be fixed.
