Manor Lords Sawpit Not Working

2 min read 27-12-2024

The sawpit in Manor Lords, a crucial component for your burgeoning medieval settlement, can sometimes present unexpected issues. If your sawpit isn't functioning as intended, don't despair! This guide will walk you through common problems and their solutions.

Common Causes & Fixes

Several factors can prevent your sawpit from operating correctly. Let's tackle the most frequent culprits:

1. Insufficient Workers

Problem: The most basic reason for an inactive sawpit is a lack of assigned workers. Sawpits require a specific number of workers to operate; assigning fewer will result in inactivity.

Solution: Check your worker assignments. Navigate to the sawpit's interface and ensure you've assigned the required number of laborers. If you're short on workers, you may need to increase your population or optimize your workforce distribution.

2. Missing Resources

Problem: Sawpits require both wood logs and a supply of iron. A shortage of either will halt production.

Solution: Verify your wood and iron stockpiles. Ensure you have sufficient logs delivered to the sawpit's storage area and a consistent supply of iron available to the settlement. Consider optimizing your resource gathering and transportation routes.

3. Damaged or Blocked Sawpit

Problem: Physical obstructions or damage to the sawpit itself can disrupt operations.

Solution: Inspect the sawpit visually for any damage, debris, or obstructions. Ensure there's sufficient space around the sawpit for workers and resource movement. Repair any damage using the appropriate tools and resources.

4. Unfinished Construction

Problem: If the sawpit is under construction or not fully completed, it won't function.

Solution: Double-check the sawpit's construction progress. Ensure all necessary building stages are complete and that no errors exist in its construction. If necessary, restart the construction process.

5. Mod Conflicts

Problem: Mods, especially those that alter building mechanics, can sometimes interfere with the sawpit's functionality.

Solution: If you're using mods, consider disabling them temporarily to isolate the cause. If disabling mods resolves the issue, identify the conflicting mod and either update it, find an alternative, or refrain from using it.

Advanced Troubleshooting Steps

If the above solutions don't resolve the problem:

Verify Game Integrity: If you suspect a game file corruption, use the game client's verification feature to scan and repair any damaged files.
Restart the Game: A simple restart can often resolve minor glitches.
Check for Updates: Ensure your game is fully updated with the latest patches, which may contain bug fixes for sawpit functionality.
Consult the Community: Search online forums and communities for similar issues. Other players may have encountered and solved the same problem.

By systematically addressing these points, you should be able to identify and fix the issue preventing your sawpit from working correctly, getting your wood production back on track in Manor Lords.
