Orchards not auto-harvesting
I noticed that the Orchards do not auto-harvest unless I manually click the harvest button. This happens even when yield reaches 100%. Is it supposed to be like that?

I tracked my inventory and noticed orchard produce does not increase unless I click harvest.

Try cutting all the trees down, removing the seed and then setting it back up again. I think this happens if some is not harvested before winter, but the plant doesn't die. *guess*

Plant is definitely dead and the yield goes down to 0 in the winter.

Yep I did. I gave up on orchards and just went with all farmland. Not sure if orchards are even needed.

Haven't encountered this myself and I use orchards and farms a lot.

I think they just loose productivity over time. As suggested - cut them every few seasons and replace with different seed.

They're not being harvested. Yield reaches 100%. If I press harvest it does go down a bit but after a way it goes up again.

Ummm... I hope you are not expecting them to cut down the trees (plants) like they do in farm fields.

LOL :P is that the case here?!?!?!?

Too funny if so.

Nope, I watch the yield bar and then look at my town hall inventory. No harvesting being done while yield increases.

Make sure enough farmers are assigned to the orchard. They will get harvested automatically in the autumn. Ive watched it done numerous times in my current 30-year village

OP is either blind or stupid. Do the turorial. Read the manual and stop spamming crap in the forum that could mislead people. No bug here.

How do you know I haven't? Point is I have. Have replanted, rebuilt, and reassigned. The only time the yield number goes down is when snow hits. Plus I'm not trying to mislead people, asking whether there is something I overlook. So far, nothing suggested have worked.

I tried as much as 4 farmers. Still the same problem but yield goes up faster.

I'm having this issue as well.

The fruit from an orchard is not harvested automatically, neither at the start of autumn nor when the yield reaches 100%. This is the fruit harvest; we're not talking about cutting down trees.

I assumed this meant that orchards do not auto-harvest at any point, but it sounds like for some people your farmers actually pick the fruit from orchards without having to be told to.

This occurs across multiple maps, and the suggestion of cutting down orchards and replanting them doesn't change anything. Nor does increasing the farmer allocation above the default 3 for a full sized orchard. The specific crop doesn't seem to matter - I have tried with pear, walnut, peach, apple and cherry to no avail.

I don't consider this to be a serious issue, but I can confirm what Saccharide is reporting.
