Is there a way to automate fiber gathering and crafting ?

[madmath]

Hi,

Loving the demo so far, but I can't find a way to automate fiber creation. Got most of the crafting buildings up and upgraded, but I can't get any villager to gather thatch, or the workshop to convert bark to fiber automatically.

What am I missing ?

Thanks

the gatherer finds flax, which gives you fiber ( bark and thatch too, but they give less). Make sure to have enough areas marked for finding food.
Woodsman gathers thatch, he/she needs a marker down by the ocean in an area containing reeds.

And the EA release will have farming which then can produce flax.

No idea on yields though.

In short:

• In the Early Access version you'll have access to farms and use them to plant flax. Till then, for the Demo version you can use the Gatherer's Pit/Hut to gather fibers.
  
• Bark can also be harvested for Fibers in the inventory menu.
  
• Crafting can already be automated in the Demo using the Workshop Pit.

I have a wood gathering marker by the beach and my villager isn't going there to gather at all.
