Heads of house not getting food or charcoal

[-lizitiss-]

When I have excess food and charcoal, the heads of house seem to do other things and rarely get food and charcoal and bring it to the house. This caused 500 people to die from starvation in a year and for those who didnt starve, they are really unhappy due to "food shortages" and "not enough charcoal" when I have over 1000 units of each.

You need more markets then.

@Mellog it only is in the houses near markets while the markets are half filled to full.

Yeah i have markets upon MARKETS right next to graineries and people are still like "uuuh im hungry" cause instead of taking from the FULL granery they are going all the way across town to empty that granery....

Yeah this happened to me aswell, houses quite close to the market and people are starving (even though the market offers plenty of resources, and I have massive food surplus).

Basically the same as the problem I had here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/569480/discussions/1/1458455461489208711/
Seems like a poorly implimented pathing system. Even though the market is just around the corner and you have all the resources required, the carriers just loop around it and not carry back anything.

Made a similar reply in the thread iMad linked. Basically this can be caused by a few things:

- Heads of household are returning from a trip far away to get food (for example the market near them was empty when they needed the food, so they had to travel farther). And as they're returning their house runs out. We'll likely be increasing the market storage in a future update to help with this a bit.

- Heads of household prioritize food, so if they can't get enough there or it's taking them a long time they won't be able to address charcoal at all. We'll changing the UI in a future update to make it more clear what exactly the heads of household are doing.

- Potential pathing bug, in the thread iMad linked some folks had noticed a pathing issue where people were looping. If you notice that send your save game with a screenshot of the area to [e-mail] (saves are in c:\users\yourname\appdata\locallow\lionshield). We can load it up and take a look.
