Farms with auto reseed break after a while

[Zysal]

Does anyone else have an issue where farms when set to auto reseed break after a while?
It seems that villagers during drop-off while their farm also expired sometimes steal farms from others that are also dropping off.

Overtime more and more farms stop and the villagers just end up standing around idle.

They should only break if you don't have enough wood.

Make sure you hit the auto-reseed button enough times. You have to keep doing it or it will stop auto-reseeding.

Reseed =/= auto-reseed

Ok, already.

You have to click the auto-reseed button only once! Your villagers will then reseed your farms until you run out of wood.

The other button is the (old) reseed queue, where you have to manually put wood into the reseed queue for your farms - one click is one farm (60 wood).

OK, I like the way you put it better.

Yeah, I had the same bug multiple times. Not much you can do but deactivate & reactivate it again.

Actually, do you build multiple farms using shift+left click? I noticed that if you have a group of villagers and you shift-click to place multiple farms, they will always go to the last farm you placed if their farm is dead.

I do indeed queue farm builds, that might actually be part of the issue, the behaviour does somewhat makes sense in that case, altho not the behaviour that i expected.
It would also explain why some do stop and others don't.

Some wat feel that when farms are queued up and auto reseed is enabled that they should drop wat ever else was in their queue and just continue farming. Since that's most likely the behaviour most people expect.

For those wondering, it happens in games were i run over 20k wood, so it's definitely not a resource issue, i also don't manually queue reseeds, i use the new button provided in AOE2 DE that automatically does it for you.
