Struggling to produce Leather

[Kev]

So...struggling to produce Leather. I have struggled all day. Several hours now.
Decided to really dig deep and inspect why.

I've found out most my raw skin is getting turned into dry skin and none is left to make leather...

Ok so I stop that from happening. Set it to 0 so that all raw skin will then go to my tanner.

Took AGES for this to happen, the tanner has just got some BUT...my skins dryer still got some even though I put the limit to 0!!

I only want it on zero while I am testing and in urgent need of leather and yet it still took some to the skins dryer?? and now that is producing dry skin. WHY?

Surely this is a bug?
or am I doing something wrong but this seems bugged. Surely if I set to 0 it should never make a dry skin

Set Dry Skins to like 10 and then stop analyzing every Raw hide that comes in. Believe me that you will have way more leather than you can use if you have a good supply of Raw leather and enough TANNIN.

If you are really desperate for Leather, destroy your tanning racks, they take little to nothing to make anyway. Put them back when you're satisfied... (not necessary)

I have 5 leather now lol, finally. Posted more above though as I think that has to be a bug if they are on 0. For now though I will do these work arounds as and when needed.

I really wish you could select all unproductive settlers. I'd send them all hunting!
Really hard to be able to select a lot of people.

I am wondering if I select a lot to go hunting, would my unproductive settlers then take over the jobs that are left. Might test that

check your Tannin supply which is only produced in Spring from Fir-Spurce trees tab on work assignments should see icon to assign workers to gather or buy from trader

Yeh I had plenty of that. It's a bug in above I think.
Though I did notice I was low on some tools and I've turned those to continuously produce now.

But set percentage wise to population so I assume it will stop producing them once there are enough for every person until the tool brakes then more will be done.

Things are going better but the above was still a bug!
However I have also discovered now, that each structure has it's own rules.

Like I can continue producing goods on one without it affecting another! Kinda interesting

if you dont care about having cured skins kill off all your drying racks. Leather is made from raw skin. If you have everything being dried to light you will never have enough leather.

I have lots of tannin and raw skins withering away in storage. People are idle but make no Leather despite having 1/30 (limit)

make sure the limit is good...what is 1/30?

turn the tanner off then back on. deactivate production then reactivate it. sometimes that's the issue in the game, though rarely.


have more than one tanner. maybe 2 or 3.

when you say 0 where did you set this?

Also bear in mind - you will need some dry skins for clothing early game and other things in the later game
