Right I have been trying to get my hearthlings to gather resources for ages, they have no issue with stone, ores or wood but I have fields full of food and silk weed which Is just being left there and when I go to craft something out of those resources its shows them as not existing (E.g. I cannot use them yet I can see them). I have tried making more farmers and after I did that there were some just idle but none of them were collecting the food I tried to use the harvest commands on the food I have tried everything I can think of, help please.

They should restock those items to containers or stockpiles that have the appropiate filters enabled, otherwise the crafting UI won’t recognize them.
