Unable to build trading post in certain area

[DrDrake]

So i started a new game yesterday - Hard, mountains, mild and small with no disasters. I got to the point where resources allowed me to build 3rd trading post in middle of other two. I placed it and people soon started clearing the place of obstacles and delivering resources, but after a while when i came back to see my new trading post it wasn't finished yet.

Now, on a side note, there are no resources left apart from a small area of iron and trees growing all around the place. cancel removal on whole map thinking maybe builders are busy doing something as that sometimes delays the construction but no, there wasn't anything marked as red for removal.

I had enough resources to build it so that problem is excluded.
Builders were set 8 as i was building few houses earlier, but those were finished before i set up the post.
I removed it and replaced it, same problem occurred again.
So i placed in different area but problem persists...

So what is the problem? A rare bug of some sort?

Not a bug in the game but possibly a bug in the map. There have been a few (rare) instances of bugs in certain maps. I'm not sure if this is the case here.

One thing you can try doing that sometimes works is set your builders to zero. Then reassign the builders.

You should be able to build as long as the builders aren't getting stuck in the areas to build.

Why do you have so many trading posts? Just seems strange unless your not producing food, just importing it.

I tried that, didnt work...

As for Trading Posts, yes, i import goods. I do have a small area for farming or forest node but i'd rather keep that for future expansion. I tend to try surviving only wityh imports, see how that goes lol.

It will work as long as you have something to trade.

As of right now, firewood is the only resource i can trade right now, for food and other stuff. regarding bug, i placed fishing dock in that place it finished building, then removed it and placed post and yep, it worked. Everything back to normal now...

Well another little fix to make note of glad you got it to work finally.
I have tried in the past to do the trading for food but I always end up finding a way to produce enough so it never worked out for me

I've reached a point where i have no place to build anything anymore, a small land in corner of map for forest node and that's it. Food is plenty FOR NOW, but population keeps rising....hoping for that die-off to arrive soon. Managed to build another 3 Trading posts.
One question however, if im playing with mods, will i still get achievements, because so far i have over 400 people and "300 people" achievement has not shown up yet?

You will not get achievements with mods on, so finish them before you start using the mods, or back and do them later, that's what I did.

Population will always continue to grow regardless, the only way to really control it is stop building houses and just live with the fact that you have 30 year olds living with mom and dad.

Once you get over 1000 the whole games starts to lag even on 1 speed. Some mods will help with that.

If you want a serious die off stop producing food. Once the starvation cycle starts the die off will be dramatic, you can recover but you have to learn how.
