Builders stuck in Builders Hut

[Hammer]

Just bought this, as the title says, builders just do loops inside the builders hut and never build anything. Tried firing them and they leave instantly, re-add them and they immediately go back and get stuck in their own hut. Tried also destroying and rebuilding the builders hut.

Well inside the refund window luckily and have noticed many recent bugs but also patches.

Check the builders themselves. Are they lacking something? Are they travelling long distances to get refined food or attending service or something?

The builders huts themselves are not bugged - it will be possible to trace the issue, but it does take some micro-managing and tracking resources sometimes.

I have the same problem. I get a "villagers path blocked" message and when I click on it and zoom in, it's mostly a builder stuck in the hut. He comes out, then turns around and goes back in, even though there's work to do. I delete the hut, and rebuild it in another spot, and it fixes the problem....for a little while. Then it happens again. I usually have a couple of huts when I'm building a lot, and this really slows down progress and costs coin. I'm going to have to pause playing this until it gets fixed. I'll keep looking for updates.

I am having the same problem. I had been playing for a while before it started. (Approx 1 year in game). Things I have tried to fix:
Fire all builders.
Move the structure to the middle of an open field.
Rotate structure.
Re assign new serfs that have never been in the builder hut.
________________
At this point I believe it has to be a bug in the path-finding for the ai. I have watched the animation closely: The builder walks into the hut around the desk, studies the blueprint then, while walking out of the hut appears to trip on the bench (Part of the hut and not additional add-on). The builder takes one more step and turns back around to repeat the action.
I tried to take screen shots but someone with video may be better able to help.

I very much hop this is an easy fix. I would like to continue this same map / build. I am however stuck on this map for now since no more structures can be built.
