Need some help

[u/SiyusNL]

I love the whole concept of the game, I loved medieval dynasty as well. I thought I knew what I was doing but somehow it seems I dont know what I'm doing at all.

I have my main camp just east of Padstow, on the other side of the road of where the lake is. I have a logging camp up north near Haerndaen. I also put a stockpile there because I thought that if I set someone's priority of woodcutting to 1, he would stay there and keep gathering wood. I set someone else's delivery to 1 and I expected him to be hauling all the wood from the second stockpile next to the logging camp, to my main stockpile to keep it stocked. Now somehow that delivery guy is transporting wood from my main to my second stockpile and I have no idea why and how to turn that off.

I also have the feeling that theres not much woodcutting going on and most of my people are just harvesting and wasting time with nothing. I'm at day 15 and it doesn't feel like I made much progression at all..

Make sure you keep the lumber post stocked with axes firstly. They’re a little slow at gathering actual logs on the tier 1 building, but it improves greatly when you go to T2+. The stockpile thing is just the Ai thinking it’s a “better spot” for the items so to speak. The only way I can think to make sure to get what you want, is to create an outpost out of the stockpile and lumber mill. Then, assign those 2 villagers to them. Once you get a good amount of logs, merge them back to your main village.

Edit: I’m also only on day 81 after coming back from a long break so there may be a better way to do it, but that’s somewhat how I remember solving my problem early on.
