    First of all, thank you for creating this mod, I really enjoy it.

    I started with Anders and Ella and it took a while, with a lot of micromanagement, but the population is finally taking off.

    I built an orchard, set it to grow pears and assigned a worker. Somehow, the question mark stays and nobody starts working the land. I removed all other farms just in case, to see if it helps, but nothing happens. Is there something I’m not doing right?

    I uploaded an image for context.

    One more thing, is there a hotkey to go directly to the town center, or can a hotkey be created? I am currently using the mini map to go there.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I just solved it by deactivating the Salt cabin, somehow they are connected. Is it supposed to be like that?

    I left the post in case anybody else faces the same problem.

    It’s because they’re both farmers – this is base game issue, there’s a mod called ‘Orcharders are not farmers’ out there somewhere.

    The Salt Cabin is from the North and the idea is that the farmers switch from the fields in summer to the cabins in winter (by manually disabling one or the other). Orchards are just a little weird because you don’t always need workers in them at the same times as standard crop fields.

    There are two other ways to do this:

    1) jump to a worker in the jobs menu that you know will be in the right area.

    2) in the settings menu, there’s a camera icon. You can take screenshots of specific areas and use a hotkey to jump to them.
