I seem to have problems like this everytime I play. I am not sure if I the ones that refuse to work are spawned to work on a special task (something not available yet) so they just collect dust. Usually, if playing survival, I just put them where the next wave of monstors are to come and let them kill them and then I can get some of the gems, I think, back to respawn a new one. It's really frustrating. Seems as though the game is only ready to support 4 or maybe 5 workers, the rest spawned will typically come out useless.

These guys all carry the sacks, I have tried dropping those resourses in stockpiles, barrels, but they never drop anything, yet continue to wear the sack. If you select the crystal you can recall all workers and usually that makes them drop the sacks, but they still will goback to the sack and do nothing.

DEVS! Can you explain what this is about? Is the game only able to keep track of 4 workers? Is that why all the rest of the workers that I spawn become useless and refuse to work shortly or as soon as spawned?

Getting this same problem after about 10 minutes of playing.

Guys make sure you have bricks, and that no brickton is in the way. I had that problem but when I moved them out of the way sometimes it fixed it. Move resources out of te way too.

i get this problem as soon as the game starts now, none of the workers are doing anything, except move about when i tell them too, no tasks being completed whatsoever

same here, after 30mins or so into a survival mode match one of my bricktons refuses to perfom any of his tasks. I put him into the path of the invaders to get rid of him to hopefully solve the problem. Upon spawning a few new workes, i manage to spawn another brickton with the same name as the one that stopped working, who also will refuse to perform tasks. This problem spreads to other bricktons over time, extremely frustrating. Great game, really fun when working. The AI needs a reset button or something.

Also experiencing alot of problems building near the crystal. Alot of the bricks that are build near the crystal cannot be removed. And i couldnt save my game aswell, another frustration. Hopefully the next patch will address some of these issues.

oh yeah, i was never able to have over 4 or 5 workers sucessfully. The system seemed laboured keeping track of 4 archers 4 swords and 2 workers.

I allowed them all to be killed except for one sword and the game speed increased again, even upon spawning the same number of workers, archers and swords. Perhapse some inefficency withing the code for the bricktons. Somehow gaining lagg the longer the same brickton is in play. Just an idea. Good luck with it.

make sure the path isn't blocked, make sure u only task one of the brickstons selected if u want only one of the trees to be chopped as its an individual action (assigned tasks works always for all the selected brickstons) make stockpiles at the very start and don't forget the barrels, without them the miners will get full of amber crystals and won't continue to work, make a wall near the mine first with a 3 height minimum wall with stairs climbing through the walls (this is important at the first stages of survival, u can always expand later but I recommend to make a wall for each time so the workers finishes the walls before enemies come and climb the unfinished walls. Make a tower or two with logs and stones, u can make a door for the tower and if so make a small corredor or just put your archers there and then block the entrance, have your knights just outside the door, 2 works for the start, hope u find something usefull here im trying to do my best

if your bricktron is carrying something and u assign him for another task, make sure u right click over him and choose option "drop" u can use the barrels full of amber for catapults, but I havent tested them yet so I'll be back another time and share what ive learnt
Yodaclese Sep 27, 2013 @ 4:41am 
yeah, ive tried all that. i use blocks of 2x2 stockpiles separated by 2 or 3 blocks. Build double or triple staircases. Been building 4 high houses with timber deck to sit my archers on.

They seem to stop working after a little while. Ive tried changing their tasks. Ive tried deleting their tasks. The workers that refuse to work i can give move orders to, but wont do anything else. The game has so much potential, im sure youll figure out a work around. Perhapse refresh the worker object(clear all variables, etc) on a new task. Seems to be chunking alot of data for the one worker after a while. Good luck.

the only thing that stopped me playing and having to break my own walls was when a dark one just stopped near the wall without doing anything, so I had to break the wall and kill him

how did you save, when i went to save it said something about giving it a name in the box at the top left. but there didnt seem to be one there.
SoULLeSs Sep 27, 2013 @ 5:21am 
the bricksters just picked stuff and drop it as effect of fear
General Canard Sep 27, 2013 @ 5:22am 
same problem! the brickstone inteligence is not enough upgrade i think because somethimes my brickstone just block himself and there his no way he can work for anything again or when they construct they dont put the brick in a logic order (from the ground to the top)
