So mud collector, cant make anyone make mud there?

[Fbh]

it doesnt run

[Skumapipe]

I built right next to smith south of starter area there is also a big lake, my villagers go get it somewhere south of me. There is a lot of wolves, but don't attack them. I just set task at 9 & put shovel in hut, they go get it

[Stoor Sooker]

Needs to be built next to or on a mud pile. Also you must provide a spade to dig the mud for your villager.

[Zap Brannigan]

it can be a good distance from a mud pile, but definitely has to be "in range"

[Legadian]

Also, you (or your follower) have to have a shovel to collect mud.

[Persian Fury]

if you go to the south of the start, there's a large lake. on the southwest side of the lake closer to the bigger road that runs north-south there is a mud pile. it is sorta easy to miss but just look for a small patch or brown dirt among the grass. this was annoying to find as I had to completely circumnavigate the lake to find it

[TwoCombsHolmes]

dont build it too close to a mud pile the collectable mud disappears.

[Star_Kindler]

Ohhh you have to build it near mud piles? Darn it I built it at my base thinking it would make mud, that's so weird you have to find it. Can they not just get some dirt and mix it with water or something? Man, that's a lot of wasted resources. They need to make that more clear...

Doesn't matter. I built mine in my main base because I also didn't understand and they will walk to go get the mud assuming you aren't toooo far from a mud place. I'm pretty far and still have no issue consistently keeping 25-30 in stock at all times.

Unfortunately I believe I was too far as I had idle villagers, the mud pit had a shovel, a mud order, and there was no mud. Mud seems to be very rare in this game for some reason if there is none whatsoever near me.

Speaking of that, they should really give more info as to try villagers are idle in some situations, occasionally I'll see orders that need completing but everybody's idle so I just have to do it myself as I don't know why they're not doing it.

This would be part of a larger update that we do plan to have when it comes to UI. We generally want to improve information across the board.

Sounds great, and thanks for the response! Loving the game so far btw, these issues are annoying but very minor imo.

So is mud also a limited resource ?

[MaanrikV]

It is only limited during winter (Snow time) as ground would be frozen ... but if you place a mud collector building .. do not place it too close to the mud as the build footprint could overlay the resource and eliminate it :)

[CoNaMonA_TK]

It worked just fine for me, but my slaves traveling all across the map just to gather some mud wasn't that pleasant so I just gather them myself. Ah, I also gather peat myself too.
