Hi Nilla,
I only have 85 workers so far, so it’s far from a large game. I did unassign everyone except for the teachers but after a while it’s the same again.
I also thought it could be something like you describe but with peat cutters (I had 6) and peat cutting happens in several parts of the map. But after unassigning everyone I only let 1 person do this job and it still happened. It’s really strange.
I will check again if maybe I don’t have enough houses in certain spots which triggers the behavior but I don’t think so.
It’s becoming a huge problem now because food is getting scarce as a result :(
If you say it’s never happened in the North it must be something else I guess. I’ll keep looking, thank you.
