Bricklayers are stuck!

[davypi]

I am on the first mission of one of the campaigns - the object is to build a Great Pyramid. I am trying to increase the size of my labor camp and I have about 15 homes waiting to be built, but year after year the remain unbuilt. If I select a bricklayer, he:

1) Goes to the Brickworks and picks up bricks
2) Walking about 5 steps and goes back to the Brickworks
3) Drops bricks at brickworks
4) Walks about 5 steps and goes back to the Brickworks
5) Picks up bricks
6) Go back to step 2. Repeat ad naseum until nightfall and its time to go home.

Now, if I try to build something else that requires bricks, they all break out of the cycle and go build the other thing, so its only these labor huts that they don't want to build. I also built a new brickworks right next to the labor camp but far from the river, but that didn't fix the problem, so distance of transporting bricks is not the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Davy

Are you sure you placed laborer huts and not farms?

Are you playing version 1.2 of CotN?

ugh. I had that problem. I had to demolish/rebuild the brickmaker to release the trapped bricklayers :D

I seem to remember (in the earlier days) reading about all sorts of "trapped" workers (the infamous "treadmill" bug). :eek:

I thought that this problem had been corrected with the various patches. :) [Before, the only solution was indeed to demolish the unfortunates home].

I once got a woman stuck on plain ground on her way to a funeral with the patch 1.2 applied. Placing tiles, shrubs or whatever didn't help so I had to demolish her home, too. So it still happens sometimes that people get stuck.

I have read somewhere you can have this behavior if what you want built is inaccessible to bricklayer, so check if the building you have placed for construction are all accesible.

I have right now the same problem and i have the patch 1.02 (Spain version). I have tried to delete and rebuild the bricklayer's houses but again they get stuck in front of the brickworks :mad:

It's a big bug, a great one :(

What I can do about this?. I cannot continue playing the campaing because of this problem. It's very annoying :(

What I was mentioning was not to delete bricklayers, but their destination buildings, the ones which should be built and place them somewhere else.
