So, I’ve never had this problem before, but I’m trying to do a second layer of walls, and it’s been like 5 in-game years so far and the builders haven’t touched the walls at all. I even prioritized them. Any solution?
hard to tell…
do you have the necessary materails to build the walls?
do you have enough free builders?
Yes and yes.
What I ended up doing is destroying all my walls and rebuilt them again. That did fix the “issue”
I have the same problem. I have all the necessary materials for construction, but builders do not want to build walls, and not selecting “priority” does not make construction a priority. The yellow exclamation mark icon does not appear. Probably the error occurs when we want to build a very long wall at one time.

the thing i hate most is that it’s a really difficult task to prioritise a whole length of wall to be built as each and every single wireframe piece needs to be clicked on individually and marked as priority. We need this tick box option at the point of creation as this takes up ridiculous time. Also when building a 2nd wall layer alongside an existing wall, or trying to replace a damaged section destroyed by raiders it is nigh on impossible at times to be able to click on the little wireframe square and the wall section next to it covers this with its ‘bounding box’ area (the yellow outline)… if there are also bushes or trees nearby also it’s really tricky to get any angle on these little wireframes to be able to click on them… corner units are often the hardest to locate… I’d like to see this improved as I waste a lot of time on this

I just hope they add a priority feature to the wall selection tool (shortcut X)

Yup. I already made a topic about this, it is insanity to not be able to prioritize multiple walls at the same time. Doing it individually, like you say, takes a ridiculous amount of time and patience.

And if there is anything near that tiny wall square, you basically can’t select it to even check the prioritize box. Super annoying on top of having to click the 150 individual boxes.
150? Rookie numbers. Lmao

I had this problem for a long time.
It’s a bug of sorts. I have over 100 laborers/builders with builder slide on 30. They refused to build a small section of wall, only about 8 tiles, even on priority. I even fast forwarded the game years and nothing.
Tried building other walls, nothing. Flat out wouldn’t build anything even with nothing going on.
I deleted a small section of walls that were complete, and then all of a sudden, they began building walls again. Also logged in and out to give that a shot as the reload fixes a lot of issues.

Thanks! I’ll try that if I ever have the same issue.
