@Phagocytosis

That sounds fantastic, Silas!

agreed, excellent feedback! and that’s quite the settlement you have going there @Silas …

@Silas

No matter how lazy my workers get, if I set them to harvest a bunch of trees they snap to and start working normally again.

this seems to be a recurring theme/comment… @sdee, @not_owen_wilson … does this perhaps shed some light as to the “AI issues” at hand here?

Interesting, in my case, they tend only to go do the tree harvesting, not the building or stockpile filling. Kind of seems like those jobs themselves are broken, not the villager AIs. In my case, anyway. But if the recurring theme is that the villagers pick up the work entirely once they’ve been tasked to harvest a tree or some such, I may be mistaken there.

I’ve noticed that my carpenter seems to do a lot more work. He’ll go and restock the stockpile and build when the workers are just sitting idle.

Hmm, can’t say I’ve noticed that either. In my case, I always just have a bunch of baskets of berries sitting around some distance from my village with a bunch of guys just idling…

Heres a small start to the new village

The moment I’ve been waiting for… facial hair and more verity!

I know many people say this, but I truly believe the game is making great progress. You can just tell by seeing and playing the game. Although there is still a long ways to go, I think this is one of the best games I’ve ever bought and supported in early development. Great job guys!

I only seem to encounter this after loading a save so the only option is never stop playing!

[Phagocytosis]

That’s true @easto1a, that’s when it seems to occur, as discussed in the relevant topic as well. Since it seems to be kind of hit or miss, an alternative is to just save very frequently and try increasingly less recent saves as your saves have this problem, so that you (in theory, anyway) never lose too much playtime.

[woollysmash]

Just thought I’d mention that so far in this build any time I have more than an hour of game time and save… when I load I am plagued with the missing body bug. Heads look like stones dotting the landscape.

I’ve tried to reproduce it but have yet to have luck… it just seems to happen on any save that I have about an hours worth of progress or more.

[Solus]

If you update to 118, it shouldn’t do this anymore.
