Farmers Idling/Wandering - Unable to work - v 0.9.1a

My first farm was working fine (small farm with 3/3 workers assigned). When I created a second, larger farm, all farmers went to work on the clearing of the second farm and abandoned the first. Unlike with other build sites, I wasn’t able to reduce the number of farmers and since it wasn’t a farm yet, I couldn’t reduce the number of workers on it. Probably could have done this with the Professions window, but I figured I’d let the farm finish building.

Once it finished, all farmers are unable to work and/or idling. I do not yet have fences around my farms, so gates are not an issue. I followed the directions to update the local files.

don’t worry, everyone is leaving to help build the new farm.


2. you can’t work like that! your field will fail, you have instructions for agriculture, investigate!

Sometimes it will be fixed after a save/load =)
