I was really excited to play FF after reading the updates that came to it recently, however my game is now almost unplayable because of it. Below I listed all the issues I ran into since the recent patch. I enjoyed playing this game so much but now it feels like a chore:
Villagers do not harvest anymore: If I play the game for more than 20 minutes, all villagers that regularly harvest idle and stop immediately. In my previous games before the patch, this was never an issue. They would harvest during the right season and lessen when the environment became serious, ie. snowstorm/heatwaves. However, now regardless of weather or month, they will not work at all which quickly results in the overall destruction of happiness I’ve built for them.
Villagers do not move in general: One game I had to reroll immediately because after putting down my community center, not a single villager moved to harvest any resource. I selected them both manually and through the hotkey option but nothing was every harvested.
Building takes far longer: I’m sure this was a bug given how before this patch I could make a house in about under a minute. After this patch, including the fact that I had all the same resources and manpower to build a home, it took my villagers more than half a year to build it. I’ve also run into similar issues with building the Stockyard, School and Root Cellar.
Harvesting in general is broken: As I stated earlier that when I select a resource to be harvested, nothing is done to it, I also have issues deselecting. I deselected trees and bushes to focus on harvesting stone, however when I check back on my harvesting menu, the trees and bushes are still selected. I manually deselect them and they still remain as selected.
Hoping these bugs get fixed, I had to reroll a 15 yr city because I tried to play with these bugs and it resulted in my city basically being destroyed financially, socially and physically speaking.
That’s kinda funny considering that I’ve rolled at least 7 new games since the patch and my takeaway is that building is vastly improved with the new changes. I can now get considerably more built within the first year than I ever could previously.
Unplayable? Eh. I’m not sure you understand what unplayable means… I’ve been playing plenty without issue.
I mean that’s great for you but that still doesn’t change the bugs that I have on my end? Also I called it unplayable because of game breaking bugs, like the one I listed above where villagers will not harvest anything after placing the community center down resulting in nothing being able to be built and no game to be played
First, I did send it to the devs, along with screenshots showing bugs of all my villagers standing in one location for no reason. Also, I posted my problems on here to share some new bugs I experienced in case other members ran into same problem.
And again I am glad to hear how well your game runs but unfortunately that is not the case for me, or a number of my other friends who have run into varying bugs as well, that is why I posted in the first place.
Unless you have something to contribute to the issue being reported, we’d appreciate leaving comments in the bug reporting forum to the devs and the person experiencing an issue. Thanks!
Can you send us a save with this issue? If you have not already. Sounds like you may have sent us a save already at some point based on what you said above?
As for the harvesting deselection issue, that’s new to me and no reports match this, so perhaps try verifying game files and make sure you’re on the just released v0.7.5d.
