I’m having a similar problem, but my problem is more around mining I was mining and for zero reason they stopped. So I saved and reloaded the game and they still wont mine. And they are being classed as idle.

(Same downloads just two different links)
P.S. I know the game is paused but even when I’ve unpaused they wont start mining.
@collico12, could you upload your savefile where the bug is happening so we can take a look?
@ern114, your hearthlings need to reach the grass part of the mining zone in order to proceed with the mining, but the ladder placed on the corner doesn’t touch the ground, so they can’t get out of the hole.
You’ll have to demote your farmer or footman to worker temporarily, and tell them to build a ladder into the mine to free your hearthlings.
Go to the folder where you have Stonehearth installed.
Inside it, you should see a folder called saved_games.
This folder contains all of your savefiles. Each savefile is composed of 4 files, so find the one that you want to upload (maybe it’s the first one, or look at the screenshots of the saves to find it).
Once you have it, compress the folder (the 4 files) and upload it here (there’s an upload button in the reply toolbar, or just drag the zip into the reply text box).
If the savefile is too big, Discourse won’t allow uploading so you might have to upload it to a free hosting site like Dropbox or Google Drive and share the download link here.
Thanks! I will try to loot the items until it is fixed. I realize this is a in-dev game so i’m not complaining. I love Stonehearth and it is one of my favorite games! Keep going!
That’s weird, I can download it fine with the icon at the top right Is it being slow or freezing for you?
The carpenter is supposed to be crafting, but has no available wood. However, the inventory shows 11 oak logs, but they’re nowhere to be seen (all the logs are red, they need to be looted).
When you get the file, check the two oak logs next to the stone / ore stockpiles:
Those two oak logs are part of your inventory because when I destroy them they disappear from inventory.
They have both this lease, and they pertain to the goblins:
There are no monsters left in the savefile, but there’s a lot of clutter in the ground, including lots of wood from the goblins and the forest factions.
I’m having a similar problem with my weaver. He’s got plenty of materials to craft with, but suddenly stopped working on the loom. I hope this problem gets resolved soon, but I’ll start over in a new town for the time being.
Is there any chance you could upload it again?

i managed to get all my workers cept farmers go in to idle despite being a lot of work for them.
