Why can't I put anyone to work in monastery?

[fr33]

I can build a dope monsatery, then can't put anyone in to work? is this function non operational? Also the churches have a "priest" tab, but I can't figure how to assign one. I maxed splendor in all three categories, but in the "end game" I can't maintain luxury resources to my peeps, because I can't get them... any solutions available at this time?

You need to press the "Concede a Villager to the Monastery" button and they will fill the spots automatically. Only male villagers can work there so you need to have unemployed males for the button to work.

There is a bug with the monastery atm, sometimes it gets fixed if you edit it and add one more herb garden or apiary to it.

The priest is not needed yet, you cannot assign them.

also need dorms. I had a strange occurrence where some villagers moved into the monastery and took up spots as well. The males turned into monks, but two females just hung around

The button more or less doesn't work for me. And I for sure had dorms... I was thinking it just hadn't been put in the game or something, but now I'm thinking it's bugged. I'll load that game and try to make some adjustments but I built every available addon on the monastery making sure it had all the parts required, still nothing. Glad to hear it's working for some though, hopefully I can figure it out.

I'm having the same problem. I'm in the process of editing the building to see if that helps at all.

So I originally built it with everything possible from the options (excluding the extensions) - couldn't add a monk. I then added an additional dorm - still couldn't add one.

I've just updated it again to have one of each extension type and it's let me add a monk!

try putting a well next to it, or in the cloister? How does the desirability look?

[xJonboy11x]

It does seem to be one dorm per monk, which seems odd.

Didn't need a well in the end, but will add one anyway.

Thanks for replies my dudes, I'm fixing up my monastery now... will report back with findings

That is not the case, but the monastery has a bug and you cannot concede villagers as intended, will be fixed shortly

It was the extensions that I needed... I'm not sure if it was both or just a specific one, but that allowed me to be able to get people in there. Awesome! Feels like progression now. Thanks all

i saw that, uh, some of the unlockables fit well, on how there's no research, but, the flower mill is still working right, and has 2 workers

In my second village I built a monastery with one dorm, herb garden, apiary, and a variety of other pieces. It took in four monks when I conceded villagers. Since there were only four work spaces ( 2 each for apiary and herb garden) this made sense. In the first village it took awhile after completion for it to accept monks. I didn't really investigate why (it seems there is always something you need to do RIGHT NOW in Foundation), but eventually it took in four when I conceded villagers. I wish it produced a bit more honey and herbs so that I could supply villagers. Now it barely produces enough to trade.

Only monks? What about nuns?

Monasterys are for monks. Convents are for nuns

Monasteries are for monks and nuns. There also convents for monks and nuns. I can only speak for Germany here. :)
Yes, i know, convents in medieval times were mostly for women. I still hope we can send women into the monasteries in Foundation.
