Villagers leaving

[War-Child68]

Ok. Confused. I have a population of 250. I have every industry, hut, house, church, abbey. All available food production. Tax collectors the heap. I also have residential that is highly desirable. So why do my villagers get up on mass and leave? I am baffled. Also when this happens they leave one of the industries which you then have to go round and check each to see which one is not in production. Can someone explain what I am doing wrong here. Have I over extended myself? I aint sure.

They leave because they ae unhappy beause they are missing something, food, clothing or a church. It is hard to tell what is causing it without screenshots of your village layout, markets and production totals. A cause could be that villagers are living to far from their working places to be able to maintain a steady suply of required goods.
Hovering your mouse over the global hapiness symbol somewhere near the top left of the screen should tell you whats wrong.

If you are playing a village started using the peview build your graneries may be causing this. In the preview build they were bugged, having their storage space count as a path. Now they fully block pathing.

I must with shame admit i dint try the preview build, due to limited time and a desire to reach 2000 pop, before the release, and getting my city ready for it.
So that is not the case, but i do appreciate the hint on the path now that i startet to spread them all around in my city, but it is not because of new graneries that people get stuck in my case.

since the july updateI just had a spectacular amount of people getting stuck in houses, fisherys and more then leaving resulting in half empty houses wich is actually my biggest problem.
any thought on that topic ? will they ever get "new" residents ones upgraded ?

As far as I am aware villagers will only move into houses in pairs. So any house with 1, or 3 empty spaces will remain having them.

And yes, villagers also do still get stuck for no reason at all.
