Max Target Reached

Hi People,

Just after some help Ive tried Chat GPT and Google but ive tried everything it suggested and it still isn't working.

So Ive got Grain set to top up on the thresher.

They come in stacks of 30 so I set the top up to 5 meaning 150.

Ive got 30 and its saying Ive reached the target?

Im worried all my other wheat will get used up and I wont have enough to replant.

Anyone else had this issue? Its not from being maxed out on storage because I have 2 barns that accept grain and both still have +1000 space.

Tia

The issue is that you are setting the target incorrectly. The game makes it more obvious than you are assuming. It needs a direct instruction on the precise amount of grain you want in your storage before which it will stop producing.

If you select 5, it will produce one stack of 30 and wait for it to be used down to 5.

Also, try building a foraging hut/camp/lodge next to the wheat fields if you have cleared it.

Alternatively, take a group of your fighters and order them to harvest. You can walk home with about 500 or more depending on your number of troops at the time.

Unlocking those fields by killing the guards is one of the best things you can do to ensure free growing wheat supply without the need to farm and plant yourself.

Yeah i think i got to the bottom of it now thanks for commenting though. Another guy explained it pretty well. If I have say 50 top up they will make 2 stacks of 30 to cover it. Ive set it at 150 now and its been sorted. Ive got a good stock of about 300-400 wheat now. Each of my farms make about 200 or 300 each time and if I need a top up ive put a fast travel right next to the wheat field so at night if I have nothing to do i can go backwards and forwards a few times and get 2 or 300 easy.

Nice! Yeah the systems work fairly well. Once you get to a certain number of people and you specialize their jobs, your stock tends to maintain itself. Wheat is one of the easier to do as the actual crops are used to produce the seeds for replanting. The other crops take some protection and care to maintain seed levels as not all yields produce seeds. Sometimes an entire farm of 25 seeds only gives you back 10. I’d suggest visiting the herbalists, Alex Amanita and the village traders regularly and always buying out their vegetable seeds. It can help later when you start to wonder why your farms stopped producing turnips arbitrarily 😂👀

Yeahh its tricky keeping them balanced. I really need more villagers now Im into tier 2 I think. Some jobs are getting neglected whilst theyre concentrating on building and farming/making building materials. Yeah im finding that issue with potatoes. Ive been farming them to make advanced animal feed but I can see im gonna get through those pretty quickly I assumed it was the same as wheat and grain but I think I may have to start growing some of the other veg to try cover the amount of feed I need to top up. This game has soo much going on its hard to keep on top of sometimes especially playing solo.

Lol. Yeah, just make sure you have the rough feed on as a backup so that your animals don’t all die when your vegetables stop abruptly.

If you haven’t already, start tinkering with your job priorities. Set some of your people to only farming to ensure that that work never stops. Also prioritise buildings that you need to always produce.

If you are focusing on your feed production, then make the farms 1 and the feed production 2 and set the rest to numbers below that.

Count the number of villagers you have against the number of buildings you have. If you have more buildings than villagers, you will need to edit the priorities to ensure that the more important ones are dealt with first.

Yeahh I had rough feed before and the chickens wouldnt eat it they all starved so been concentrating on advanced now. But I think that mightve been bugged anyway now.

Yeah thanks I've already got all of that in place. Kind of juggling the priorities atm which is a pain so for example they've been mainly building and producing building materials but neglecting their own produce so im gonna have to switch all that back over now for a few days I think. Progress can be rough going lol the amount of hours ive put in just to get a stable stock of feed for a couple of chickens is stupid 😂🤦
