As the title says;
My villagers were set to harvest a patch of trees and rocks in about a 20x20 area. Once the area was cleared, I noticed there was about 80 piles of logs (and the beginning of rocks) on the ground.
I had space in my storage. However, I had 35 laborers and built 2 new stockyards as I thought building them might trigger my villagers to pick up their stuff. It didn’t.
The only thing that fixed this issue (as they stopped picking up ALL wood and rocks. I was very close to everyone dying due to lack of firewood) was setting the wood in my trading center to “Keep Stocked”
Instantly I see 35 laborers go out into the fields and start picking up all the wood from their clear cutting they performed about an hour ago.
I’m posting this because I really love this game so far, and someone said they had the same issue in the community discord.
