Played this map for about 12-14 hours now, have two sawmills, both upgraded with 4-5 workers. The sawmills are located in the middle of 3 stockyards, each holding logs (398 logs in total). All was working fine, until I loaded the game this morning and notice I have no planks. I clicked on my sawmills and all workers were “Idle - Unable to work”. Tried reloading the game multiple times (as this resolved smaller issues in the past, like when my barn was getting condemned because nobody went to repair it), but the reload didn’t work. I’ve unassigned and re-assigned all workers. Didn’t work. I checked multiple times that logs were stored in the nearby stockyards, even dragged the cart with logs nearby to make sure they can access it. They are not stocking the sawmill and therefore cannot produce planks. Am I missing something? Had no issues with the sawmills so far. But not being able to produce planks just halts the game entirely as it is needed for almost any buildings on tier 2 and above.
Okay, so I realised I was a bit daft and didn’t see the sawmills didn’t have heavy tools. So I know the issue now. However, they were only upgraded to second tier about an hour ago in the gameplay, so I wasn’t expecting the tools to be “used” so quickly, as for example my mill has been using the same heavy tool for the past 6 hours of this gameplay. As a suggestion, I think it would be great if the buliding had a notification of “missing heavy tools” above it, when it happens, so daft people like me could see what the issue is 
(I had parts of the display minimised on the buliding and took me a while to see the heavy tools were missing)
I have an issue where my Saw Pits aren’t stocking the Stockyards with their planks… so after a while is goes into idle because they have “full of stuck”
