Builders won't build. Game says their path is blocked to Warehouse Depot

[truble135]

After about three hours suddenly my builders "path is blocked, unable to reach Warehouse Depot" and they just walk in and out of the hut over and over, never building anything. I have relocated the Builders Hut multiple times, I have zero Forbidden zones drawn and continue to have the same problem. I built a second Builders Hut and removed the villagers from the first and that helped for a little while but the same issue came back. I then built a new Warehouse and Depot, relocated my supplies to it and that also helped for a few minutes, but eventually the problem returned. Both huts are in close proximity to the warehouses but the builders will not retrieve any supplies or build anything. Both uncompleted construction projects show all supplies to finish are available. Great game but extremely frustrated at this point. Running version 1.10.2.1.

Do you have any benches? See if people are getting stuck at them and remove them, might or not help.

I'm starting to have a similar issue with my Charcoal Hut as well and I have not benches near either building and seems to have started after I built a second Charcoal Hut.

Happened to me with beer production. Brewery just stopped brewing despite having all the resources needed. I moved it a little to the side and it started working again.

Same issue. About 60% done on the Abbatial Church to complete a Clergy run, and my builders just stopped working. They won't build anything, just walk in and out of the two builder's huts. I demolished and rebuilt the builder's huts, and they did it again. I tried to place a new warehouse, but they won't build that either. When I click on the Abbatial Church build site, it cycles through saying things like "[X] builders are retrieving materials," then "[Builder] is bringing 35 polished stone," then "Waiting on a builder," over and over again.

I have the exact same problem. It seemed to start out of nowhere. And I have 3 builder’s huts and they all seem to be blocked.

Update: Today's patch did NOT fix the issue. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

I am having the same issue here. Doesn't matter where I put the Builder'`s Workshop, it says 'Villager path blocked' for all workers

To fix this I fired all my builders, built new warehouses on the other side of the map, transferred all goods to the new warehouses, then demolished all builders huts and the old warehouses. Then I rebuilt the builders huts near the new warehouses. I probably did this three times before it started working correctly. There's no reason I should have to outsmart the game to make it perform it basic functions. I spent at least a couple hours trying to work through this problem. Hopefully this gets fixed.
