No building material

Hello all, I've encountered a situation where my servants don't bring wood or stone to the building site. It happens in mission 5 of TSK and so far nothing I do, including destroying the building and starting anew will fix it. Any ideas?

Have you tried to play tutorial?

The problem can be:
1) You didnt complete road to the bulding enterance.
2) You have not enought resources wood/stone.

Btw. Try to play multiplayer. Remake is famous for it :P

I'm replaying this game, so I'm not interested in the multiplayer or that piece of garbage TPR, I just do it for the nostalgia. I have heaps of resources and roads to spare, can it be another (technical) problem? Thanks for the quick reply, it is good to see the community did not forget this juwel!

Maybe a serf shortage.

It is also happening in mission 7. Serfs are loafing around with question marks.

It has to be one of those options. I guess you play it without the remake, right? I did it as well and had no problems at all with serves not doing their job.

Another option:

If you make diagonal roads, watch out for objects on the tile where you don't build a road... (that tile which you leave empty "between" two roads) If there is a tree or a rock or anything like these, serfs won't deliver materials to construction sites... Objects "block" diagonal roads. Try to build roads without leaving any tiles empty between them... If this doesn't help, I don't have any other ideas what the problem can be caused by.

I guese it cant be technical problem of the game. And btw. You are so confident to say someones creation is a piece of garbage. A piece of what are you with your nostalgia then? Buy original game and play it if you are not interested in Lewin's, Krom's (project founders) work.

it looks like the road is connected, but it actually is not, it still get's me sometimes. The road that is connected is the road of the woodcutter's entrance.

In TSK and probably in TPR serfs would not deliver building materials to building sites if you had planned 6-7 of them without connecting them to road network. Any further plans, connected to roads got ignored. Solution: Remove unconnected plans )

I guess that original TSK/TPR has a bug when you place too many construction sites without roads, the serfs don't deliver to any other, road connected ones. Remake doesn't have bugs like this luckily :D
