Copper mining workers issue

[Xtikio]

Hello guys , i am encountering an issue while i set my workers to mine for copper.
I followed up the worker to see whats up , and they just went up to the mining hut , collect the pickaxe , go infront of the vein , and then they just go away without mining .
Anyone else has the same issue ?

Yeah I actually had this too but I suspect it’s because the camp might have been too far from the main village. Is yours a distance off?

I have a feeling if they’re too far out it needs to be set as a seperate outpost. They have no issue taking materials there to build it but won’t actually do the work

I may be wrong

I will give it a try, thanks!

Tried that , making an outpost , still nothing.
Something else that might be wrong ?

Try limiting the number of jobs they're allowed to do or set one to do only mining. All should still have delivery enabled afaik or they won't bring materials back. Also make sure you have storage space available.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS - Disassemble that Chinese bought mining hut and try again :P

I disassemble it , still having the same issue . I have the worker only in mining , still i see him picking up the pickaxe , going infront of the vein and go back to the mining hut to drop the pickaxe.

I had same issue in the east side of the starting area, next to a lake.
I actually made it an outpost so that only mining and reed gathering happens there.

Now I am not sure if this is the reason, but I did build the mining hut a bit close to the copper vein, so part of it disappeared when I placed it down.
So my miner went to the ore, stand on top of it for a second and then moved on. I actually followed her and she went all the way to a second ore vein a little bit further up, which she started to mine.

I removed the forager hut and only did mining, but that did not solve it, so it might be the location, or me placing to close or some bug

same problem, i posted here https://steamcommunity.com/app/1812450/discussions/0/4348864737707070399/?tscn=1714376492

I disassembled it couple of times and i placed it in different locations . My workers dont mine at all , they go infront of the vein , stare at it , and head elsewhere

Do they have the mining skill

Villagers need to have the required profession

[Xtikio]

By mining skill you mean harvesting ? If yes , yea they do

[Dagravit]

did you also setup how much to mine

[Xtikio]

Yes and i also placed it in priority 1.
Forbade any other task .
I am delivering food daily , so the workers isnt hungry.

The harvesting skill is at lvl 2

Maybe the function of the game wont work better collect it yourself game is in early stage

[Dagravit]

Fourage hut is alo collecting mineralls lying around the mainspot maybe a suggestion

then you can do the main source yourself
