Sleds

[Maldar]

I assign them to people and they are not using the sled. Any help would be appreciated.

Villagers will only use sleds between markets. If you're adding them to a sled you built manually, you're probably looking at the access list, which governs who can withdraw cargo.
At the moment the only sled use is a)Automatic \ villager via routes between markets and b)manual player use.
Apologies if I'm mistaking your context.
Assigning sleds and wagons to villagers for routine work, e.g., woodcutting, is an often-requested feature.

This is so unfortunate. This would be an amazing feature

Agreed. This becomes especially attractive once you've exhausted the supply of large objects near your village and the villagers have to travel significant distance to carry things back, one at a time. Forestry and the mine can help with trees and stone over time, but forestry and mine refreshing via explosives is glacially slow.

The current accepted strategy, as far as I know, is to build an outpost in a new area which has plentiful resources and set up a market run between that area and your primary location.
