After the 8/23/22 update, I started a new town on the Idyllic Valley map.
The citizens on the map will not work after a fire has been extinguished. No gathering, wood chopping, no work at all, not just the workers assigned to buildings.
They all wander with “Unable to Work.” There was a work around to unassign all the building workers, manually save, then reassign the building workers and then everyone will get back to work.
However, this also triggers another fire. And then they are “unable to work” again.
Thank you for responding. I found the work around I mentioned in the Steam forum, so I’m not the only person. Maybe it’s just rare. Luckily, the town isn’t that old, I literally just started it after the update. So I just started a new town not in the Idyllic Valley though. No thank you, lol.
