Anyone know why all my blacksmith workers are not working? I have enough resources in the blacksmith and I also have enough storage space for the heavy weapons. I have watched it for a while and it only seems 2 people work at one time in the blacksmith.
I don’t have any limits set on heavy weapons production.
That is especially odd because two of them are making tools when your ratio is set to 0 for them. Try reset all the ratios, save and reload, see if the problem sticks?
Probably because you have 8 people making just one weapon. Increase the number of weapons they make, that should put them back to work.
The number is the production ratio not the number of weapons made. I have another blacksmith making only swords and only set the production ratio to 1 and everything else to 0 and everyone is working making swords. I’m not sure if this is a bug or not. I set the production ratio to 10 and still the same problem.
I believe when it says making tools it could be any of the items.
I think otherwise, check on your other blacksmith if it says making weapons?
Interesting, looks like you’re right. Well I have no idea what’s going on with it not working then sorry. Do the idling workers have simple tools? I don’t really subscribe to the idea that some jobs require workers equipped with simple tools, but I could be wrong about that too.
That’s an interesting point, I will double check. I might need to post a bug report about it so Crate can check it out. Cheers.
The storage limit for heavy tools is 2… the rest can’t make any because there’d be nowhere to store them.
Every building that requires Heavy Tools can store at least one or two extra.
I’m making heavy weapons not heavy tools.
I posted this in my bug report thread as well.
Oh I think I know what you mean now. The 1 heavy tool in storage won’t allow more heavy weapons to be made at the same time as it is taking up storage space. I told the trading post to move all heavy tools into the trading post but it won’t pick up the heavy tool in the storage of the blacksmith.
Yeah, and as I fessed up in the other thread: late night replies and reading tools instead of weapons… ignore my earlier post! mutter… mutter…
But the weapons storage isn’t impacted by the heavy tools storage as far as I’m aware (probably a bug if it does). One thing to check is whether you’ve accidentally set a production limit somewhere (or if it’s a pre-0.8 settlement some weirdness has auto-set one): a couple of issues have arisen elsewhere that meant any limited-production product meeting it’s “stop at” quota meant any other items also got stopped from being produced.
I had turned off all production limits for the blacksmith and I had enough resources and storage space. I have started a new game and see if it happens again.
