Confused the bogs

[mckinleyfleminglll]

how does it work? I cant get anybody to get peat just rarely an is never enough to maintain the the winter for warmth? Can it only be harvested in certain season or any season? i know only a certain job can do it. But not understanding the conditions for them to get the stuff?

One bog field will regrow to 5/5 peat about once a year. The bog Iron will regrow faster then that.

You need a peat spade to harvest it with the harvest peat Job. (Harvest Skill) There are no seasonal limitations for harvesting.

You need around 160 peat per stove to get through Winter without cooking something on it. (Cooking would require more)

If you hover over any tile of the map and look in the infobox at the top left of the screen, it will tell you what resources (if any) can be harvested from that tile. In the case of bog tiles, you can get peat and bog iron; if the tile is at 100%, you will get 5 peat and 1 bog iron. The infobox will also tell you the growth % if there is something growing on the tile. The bog tiles regenerate slowly over time, like a plant growing; it takes about a year to go from 0% to 100% growth. Season does not matter, only the growth %. You will get the best yield by only harvesting tiles that are at 100% growth (you can do this easily by enabling the "only harvest at 100%" option in the Tasks menu).

I see an yes i know all that stuff but i just can't get anybody to get the stuff. i can make one person doing it only but most of the time they just stand around being dumb crying they have nothing to do but there is over peat that's needs to be dug up. or is it a bug of some sort? the only way i can get a very small amount is to get like five or four people to do it an i notice the children will likely do it than the grown ups. that is why i was thank a bug lol an for the info

If I understand you correctly, you can place harvest-peat tasks on the bog tiles, but your people won't actually go and do those jobs?

Do you have enough peat spades? Do you have people with harvesting set to high priority in their skills settings? How many other outstanding tasks do you have, and do the other jobs get done in a timely manner?

right an i do have all those things may be it could the be the task. i can not remember if i tried resetting it or not i do remember i that i had a lot of mandatory jobs an didn't want to do it because it would be a pain to reactivate them all an to get them all to lol. my clan became large so i have the make alot of stuff for them to do. i say it is probably the task. i do have a lot of task running like at peak season around spring, summer an fall it isn't unusual to see my task sore to 1,400 at a time an a third is emergency task lately in my new clan

Keep in mind that the game is not designed to run large colonies, and is definitely not designed to have 1,400 outstanding tasks. At that level you can definitely expect poor performance and AI lockups. The only fix is to scale back.

I see thanks

[Finjachan]

Esp. With a third of that being emgergency Tasks...

They won't don't any other Tasks until all of them are cleared ...you do know that right?

[miauukisu]

And definitely get rid of emergency tasks.

If you boost any repeating tasks, it will lead to task orders being messed up by your choice. Emergency tasks are for actual emergencies, not a priority 11.
Having them in use otherwise actually slows down your clan a lot.

thanks guys
