How to Improve Building AI in Stonehearth?

General Discussion
1

Hey there,

I have been playing Stonehearth for a while now and love the depth of creativity when it comes to building structures. However, I have noticed that sometimes the building AI can get a bit confused, especially when it comes to complex designs or multiple floors. My workers either get stuck, take forever, or abandon the project midway.

Has anyone figured out any tips or workarounds to make the building process smoother: ?? I have tried breaking larger designs into smaller chunks but it doesn’t always work. Also, any thoughts on mods or settings that could improve AI behavior during construction would be awesome to hear !!

Looking forward to hearing your advice or tricks to get the Hearthlings building faster and more efficiently !! I have also read this https://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/make-more-hearthlings-do-the-same-work-better-ai-tensorflow/ but couldn’t find any solution.

With Regards,
Derek Theler

If you simply want to experience the building elements in the game, you can open the console (Ctrl + C) and use the /ib command to quickly complete the construction of a building. However, this involves cheating elements, which may affect the game’s balance and overall experience.

Completing large building projects in a normal playthrough can indeed be challenging for such an old game. Unfortunately, there are currently no mods available to improve performance or AI. You can try saving and loading frequently and avoid using fast-forwarding as much as possible to help with the task. Good luck!

i have same question like you, this is some trick i use

1/ tracking how it work and defind why they don’t do, if they have another priority of main job or others
2/ use activity maner in citizen menu where you can set priority job for your citizens
3/ reduce lag by store your item in chest not in stockpile zone
