Tribe wont work

[Maestro]

My tribe does not want to collect wood, I placed a marker in the wood area where to collect, select him to that marker, selected to gather wood, amount 100, to store near any storage, and unpaused the work

He just stands there next to bonefire and does nothing

UPDATE>

It said target is too far, I builded the base on the beach, how do I make him go 100 meters where the wood is

You can set map markers and then use those as waypoints

i had to make one closer in the forest because i built right next to an outcast base that kept killing my workers.

Make they have tools and work area is within 100 meters of bonfire.

I did set a marker for wood and selected that marker in his menu, but still stands next to bonfire and displays (location too far)

They have tools, can they be selected to go further then the bonfire ?

I builded the camp on the beach because its beautiful, does that mean I need to relocate my entire base ?

Like the other fellow mentioned, set up map markers. Idk the actual distance that is the limit, but my gathering points are <100 meters. Further out and they wouldn't work as "too far".

So I need to build base in specific locations with wood, stone and water otherwise I have no use of workers

This limits the freedom of being able to build where you want like beaches for example where there is nothing within 100 meters

Dunno try it out.

regardless if you make them run too far there is a big likelyhood that they will be killed by animals.

same, tribesmen get stuck under stairs, wont use stairs , get stuck in doorways, get stuck near collection boxes, trade bench areas . tribesmen are useless unless you have 0 walls , 0 stairs or 0 anything for them to get stuck in, on or near , even then they just stop and dont do the tasks you tell them ,oh and yes they have good tools , food,water etc .

I think my tribesmen work for a Union, they all take work breaks every 5 minutes, lol

well the areas that have panthers and cougars most likely dont want ur npc away from base annyways

makes alot of sense when you remember the speed is 24x, so 5 minutes are 2 hours in the base game.

I think this must be bugged - I get similar problems with collection tasks now with well equipped workers and spots and markers that have been working without problems some days ago. So for me that problem came after an update without any changes on my side.

The new behavior is they run to the spot and do nothing there or very little and don't come back until the main char goes looking for them, then they return to the base for a minute and repeat the whole fruitless process. The spots are less than 100 meters away, it only says "too far" the moment the workers reach the spot. Strange!

[Slap]

Yup, I think it is bugged because I also had markers set for collection that were working fine but after the last patch the game is saying it is to far. Had to change mine back to the bonfire radius to get them to start collection again.

I had this same problem. This worked for me:

I made a waypoint on the Map ('M'). I went into the Worker's Menu (hold 'E' on worker) and "Reset Location". I then selected my waypoint instead of the Bonfire on the work assignment UI.
