Can't move Oxen to farm...

[Daalon]

Hey all! It's been awhile since playing the game, but I used to have zero issue moving cows from the cowshed to the farm. Now when I'm trying to drag and drop them, the cow icon disappears, but it's not moved to the farm. I've messed with job openings and everything I can think of the get the ox to the farm to no avail. Ideas? Thank you!

you have to order a plough at the farm, and then the carpenter will take 2 oxen from the farm and craft a plough for the farm. The icon to do that is on the farm page top left corner.

You can drag not a cow, not a bull, but an ox to the farm. You drag and watch carefully so that the dotted line turns blue. If the dotted line remains black and does not turn blue, then the ox will not be transferred from the barn to the farm.

Right, I was doing that. Used to you would see a blue dotted line and it would disappear once you released it. I'm not getting that blue dotted line. I've had the plough pressed and ready, along with oxen. But it doesn't do anything. I did this over and over for 30 minutes. Nothing worked. That's why I posted this. It's not making any sense.

Thought maybe it was done differently. It's probably been a year and half since I played. Looks like the game has really evolved and looking good!

You need 2 oxen in your cowshed, but keep them in there.

When you order a plough at your farm (click one of the three big "+" symbols), the carpenter will fetch the oxen from your cowshed and bring them to the carpentry. When the plough is finished, he will bring the plough to your farm.

Don't forget to enable supply for oxen and make sure, that there is hay and water stored in your farm before the plough arrives.

For plows, the oxen should not be dragged and dropped, like you describe. Just turn bulls into oxen and leave them in the cowsheds, like kiska87 describes. Should not be dragged like prolych describes

When ordering a plow in the farm, the carpenter will automatically collect the oxen from the cowsheds (if the oxen are at least 1 year old), create the plow, and take it to the farm.

I equipped 3 farms with plows only yesterday (usually I've had no plows), so it's fresh in memory.

Dragging animals is for salt works, wagon sheds and when moving animals from one animal farm to another and such, but not plows.

It's been 2 seasons, the carpenter isn't fixing anything. Carts are broken, wood is available, metal parts and nails are available. I'm adding homes and people are unemployed, but nothing is getting fixed or produced...Guess the carpenters are on strike.

Does this mean that no one is working in the carpentry, even though you're having unemployed people? Only men can work there.

Is there anything in the building queue at your carpentry, that is preventing your carpenters from fixing the carts?

Never mind all. Works great!
