Problems producing leather.

[Rillruin]

For the whole game I've had almost no leather production even though I typically have its limit set to 100, over 50 raw skins and tannin, dry skins turned down to 10, 3 tanners all set to high priority and below 50% workload. I'll be lucky if I have 4 in stock. I don't get it...

[General Malaise]

I don't know, but I turn down Dry Skin production to 75%, and it seems to work fine. I get just about the right amount of Leather. I've never had to put tanners at high priority, nor build more than 2.

Ya I have dry skins turned down to 10 so plenty of raw skins available. Entering the iron age now so not a lot of need for leather. Guess its just a glitch.

Apparently, AI prefers to produce simple materials ... if your people can choose between drying the skins or collecting materials and then working on the leather, they go the fastest way ... reduce the production of dry skins to the bare minimum.

Shut off some of your skin dryers or recycle them, that always works for me.

[Rillruin]

I reduced the skin dryers from 12 to 4 prior to the copper age which did boost the number of raw skins and added some occasional leather crafting by the workforce. I could reduce the number of skin dryers to none but I still build tents as temporary housing for long distance projects like gathering monoliths several valleys away.

[Vinny]

I would reduce them to one or two.

What's your task load?

[Rillruin]

Typically between 40% and 60% up to about 120% for the fall harvest.

[Rillruin]

Going to try setting leather production to 0, reloading the save and then set the limit back to 50.

[Rillruin]

That game reload and limit reset may be working. All 3 tannery's are producing leather at the moment even though its harvest season.
