My glasshouse frequently stops producing because it doesn’t have enough tools. Knowing how glass is made and formed I agree some tools are needed, and these are industry specialised but in the game just the generic tools are used. But why so many? I have plentiful sand, three blacksmith workshops, of which two are fully staffed and producing only tools, plenty of iron, and the glasshouses thirst for tools deprives other industries of tools for their work. What’s happening?
How big is your town? 3 blacksmiths is usually plenty until you get over 2,000 pop. Are production chains stream lined or do they spend most of their time in travel
I have an industrial sector in a population of 1700+. Storage is specialised, easy to get to, some of the workers even live close by. Still not enough, game abandoned once I built all three monuments.
I had the same thing happen in my last game, after I built a Glassmaker when the Forge hadn’t been around long enough to supply everyone with Tools just yet.
In this game I’m playing now (using my computer upgrades to get to 2k pop, Vanquisher), I repetitively get the No Tools notification well before I can even build a Forge
I think that’s part of the gameplay at T2, urges you to get to T3 and build a Glasshouse (with required tech.)
I build the Glassmaker in T3. There’s just tons of other techs that are needed in vanquisher, especially military ones, to get before even being able to dream of getting the Glassmaker.
