Hello, I have a probem i cant figure out.
Im having hard time making my builders to build. I tried to wall my city and build some new roads, problem is, if i dont set everything manually to “priority” (which is a pain), they wont build it. Some roads they wont build even on priority. I have set maximum builders to one third of population, still no change. They will either move from builders cathegory to normal workers - even though there is no job for them, or the builders will start wandering - again because of no job to do.
So am I doing something wrong?
Also, is there a way to set multiple wall construction sites to priority by one action (not doing every single one manualy)?

Make sure there’s enough building materials available, bonus points if it’s stored nearby. Roads do take time and if your builders are looking for food all the time or lacking entertainment they’ll work slower. Calm down building stuff, fill out your production buildings for a couple years and make sure there’s tools available. The building que doesn’t make much sense regardless sometimes. Best of luck!
Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I think I do not have any of the problems you are listing, maybe apart from recources distance. But as I said, they will rather go idle than to build, so I think it is a bug.
I found this post from a game developer, which said roads not getting build shoud get fixed in 0.7.5.

Ah amazing, I get the same bug sometimes but they’ll get to it eventually. Love checking individual builders to find they’re at the pub or brawling
The AI is so dumb sumetimes…
I told them to build a fence. I have 13 workers, 370 wood, 47 labor…and do you thing anyone would be building it?
Nope. Everyone is wandering around because they cannot work… 
We really need a priority select box, just like for upgrading walls with X. having to klick 30 single items and set them is so damn annoying! 
Im struggling with a few things at the moment along these lines. The two most notable are a couple of Work Camps. One I have had ready to build for near 6 years now, and the other has had a relocate instruction for over 10 years. I have had up to 20 builders, WCs set to priority, but nothing gets done.
