how to make villagers make rope and use it for buildings etc?

[vincent_vfx]

is there some way to force builder classified villagers to use fiber or bark to make rope and then to use it to build and/or repair stuff?

i guess at this moment it could be that the guys i have working at the work hut might be using all of the fiber up to make winter clothes etc, but it seems that any kind of structure that needs rope i have to be the one to do it.

any ideas would be appreciated. and maybe once my entire crew is outfitted the fiber might just start flooding in. but i have noticed even when that happens i still have to be the one to make the rope and use it . . . most of the time . . .

You need to get your villagers at a work hut to make rope. Then the builders will use the rope when building.

will they stock the work shop on their own, or is that up to you

So far it seems both are options (also learning, not an expert lol). I did want to add a building material marker between my workshop and the warehouse i eventually made though, partly because these guys just explode whatever they dont want/need in their inventory when leisure time hits, wherever they happen to be standing at the time so I have found the strangest materials just randomly scattered around town, especially the central part of town where all that stuff is.

i have not tested this much, but it seems even when there is rope in storage at the workshop hut the villagers don't seem to pick it up. what i did try, and it seems to work, is when they are sleeping (easiest time to find and trade with any given villager) i put 10-15 rope in their inventory. as soon as they wake up i see that buildings etc with rope required get built right away. i am still leaving rope as a build request in the workshop anyways.

Little tip, you don’t need to tell them to process bark to make fibers than to make fibers into rope. Just tell them to make rope they will do what’s needed to make it.

Same with everything else. Want them to make armor just click the armor or weapons and they will make the prerequisites than craft the piece you asked for.

I've had mixed results with this. My crafter won't make linen unless there are fibers in the bin; even though right next to it are a woodworker's & gatherer's house with fiber in it.

I haven't really experimented or noticed if they craft rope on their own but I'm sure they do... eventually, as stuff gets built if I ignore it. I just get too impatient and step in =)

I canceled all the tasks and just put them to make clothing and they did so I dunno..

I seem to have a similar issues with this for a while ,for example my carpentry workshop had all the wood parts ready in their storage to finish a construction and they won't pick the wood beams from the carpenter workshop, I move them to a cart and then they come running to pick them up.

Whats fix it was to build a warehouse and the proper container for the item and a worker sometimes they don't want to pick items from the workplaces for some reason.
