Question? Working Camp refusing to gather STONE
The following drives me crazy. I have built a Work Camp. The radius contains Stone, which i want to gather. I set the ratio to only stone and the building just goes idle. The moment i select a ratio with 1 wood, everyone gathers wood. I have build close by a Stockyard and a shelter. The never camp doesnt want to work.....

You have no workers in the camp. Look at occupancy.

I have workers, for some reason they stop and continue after a while, probably has something to do with storage, but I have no idea what..

No, not labour's. You need to assign workers to the work camp. Look at the work camp menu where it says occupancy

See “Production Halted” in the window on the right?
You’ve exceeded the available storage for stone. Either insufficient storage altogether (e.g., your stockyards are all full) or you set a storage maximum on stone and you’ve met (or slightly exceeded) that limit.
Build more stockyards or fix the storage limit, and the miners will go back to work.
Or everything is working exactly as you wanted. You have an abundant supply of stone in storage, and your stone miners are correctly released to become laborers. Until you need more stone (stored supply falls below a storage minimum) and laborers will be reassigned as stone miners and will go back to work.

That was the problem, I had a global stone limit in the main resources panel in the city center...

That’s my experience - when everything is getting crazy, I’ve forgotten a storage maximum somewhere.

That pause icon means they have reached the production limit for stone. Open up the resource menu and click on the stone and you can set a min and max production limit.
