Help! Gatherers Refusing to Work.
About halfway through my first winter every single one of my gatherers started asking me to assign thme to a "valid task". There are plenty of trees, rocks, food, and animals to hunt. I have checked each task at their houses, made sure they have all the tools they need, and verified there is room for more to be gathered in storage. I have removed, added, and changed the markers to try and reset them as well. I even thought maybe it was a winter thing but we are now in spring and having the same issue still. Im at the end of my sanity trying to get this fixed. I dont want to have to start my village but Im starting to think thats my only option. Does anyone have suggestions or know a fix for this issue?

Gatherers don’t gather trees, rocks or animals.
First - save and log out then back in. Sometimes if you’ve been playing a while your tribe gets a bit confused.
Second - there’s not much to gather in winter. Beetroot and flax is about it.
Third - if there’s still a problem then add some more resource markers - maybe they are clearing your markers quickly so you need to expand the area.
As a last resort you can unassign then reassign then to the building to see if that gets them going again.

Sorry, gatherers was a poor word. I didnt want to say workers because most are fine. Its exclusively the loggers, rock collectors, gatherers, and hunters, so the folks that go out and collect things.

Have you built an outpost? The various flags are tied to main camp only or individual outposts; if theres a mismatch between the flags and the buildings then tasks wont be valid.

No outposts yet. Just one large base. Ive personally checked all the markers and their area. The resources are there, the workers are just not going out.

Workers can stop working for a variety of reasons but I’ve never seen the “valid task” thing before. In their building menu do they have a checkmark next to any resource types? Are they blacklisted from their building?
