I have build 2 farms. After noticing i lack workers i tried to change the number of workers on farms. If i set it to 0 the P Menu still shows 8 workers. I can lower them there even more resulting into negative woker counts like -3/3. Now i thought the 8 workers must be enought and i can just add more.
Problem is with 8 workers in P menu (8/8) nothing gets planted. I need to add even more to make them work.
Ok, from my experience, this happened when i built 2 farm areas at the same time.
Workaround: Deconstruct all farms, then build them again, 1 at a time. Now working as normal.
I created a single 5x5 field, and once it was done, the display showed “harvester: 0/1”.
Once I put “1/1” the “P” interface showed “farmer: 2/1”.
So I don’t think it’s linked to building multiple farms at once. Maybe I had my farmer die to a wolf or bear attack (some are stupid enough to attack the bear in vanguard difficulty)
I don’t know if this will help, but I had placed 3 5x5 fields, tried to resize one to 6x5 ended up drawing over the previous field to get it to allow the resize.
2 fields said 1/1
The “resized” one said 2/2
The job manager said 7/5 Farmers
I deleted the one field, now it says 4/2 Farmers.
