unemployed settlers bug

[Nuzaietz]

Hello! I have a question!
I noticed that the number of workers decreases, even if all the buildings are ok!
Is this normal?
Shortly before, their number decreased by 10 units at once!
I play for more than one year, I am in the level 42, but that has never happened!
Thanks for any reply!

[Thejollyone]

yep mines shrunk from 324 down to 293 and nothings changed on my island

[Nuzaietz]

I hope, these workers lack is not on strike!

[PChamps]

No depleted wells or mines?

[Thejollyone]

no, its been doing it for a while now. Another guildie reported it a while back. Support know about it

[Sigusko]

I have same problem, it is not connected to depleted wells I think, in my case, first clue were missing recruits, I have started creation of 25R in barracks, and left the game, when connected back, they were not there.

Currently all by building are running, you can see how many working settlers I have in attachment

[Nuzaietz]

No depleted wells or mines, or else .
Just a drop in the number of workers!
I do not mind that the lower the number of workers, but I would not want to fall and production with them!
You know, it's about managing resources!
And that's why this game is about

[Nibber]

Obviously hasn't been fixed yet as I currently have -10 workers. I've noticed it dropping for a while but haven't gotten around to reporting. Everything seems to work fine though. My total troops seems to be correct however.

It influence number of unemployed settlers, in the screenshot above, lets assume I have 50 working settlers (I do not want to count them :)).In that case I should have 5 unemployed settlers, instead of 58, so basically it helps me to have more buildings working or to have bigger army

Yesterday I had 3 "Working Settlers", today I have:

The counter has been wonky for a while now, when I'm at max with no room for more Settlers my "Unemployed" still creep up and it does seem they can be assigned to things. Though doing so often causes the numbers to shift again in strange and unexpected ways.

[Fadito]

if you logout with buildings that got no settler, e.g. new build wells or mines, they get (sometimes/always? not sure) a settler that does not get counted. so you hav then 1 settler more working then it should be. if such a well or mine depletes - you still get the settler back... and finaly this results in a to low worker number.

i have been sending this bug to support my calculating settler has a bug and is wrong it has slowly dropped my employed settlers to 29 and my unemployed to 726 this is at leases 300 out i should have 300+ employed settlers.

update Dec 5

Ok, I have reached -5 working settlers currently static at -2 The only thing I can think of to help is it related to either demolishing mines before they run out of resources or constructing new mines when they run out of resources.

Goodday,

I think there is a population bug. I have a population capacity of 1870 settlers. I have an army of 1744 units. I have 50 free settlers. And I have 78 working settlers. Seems perfectly normal yes?

I have a water production of +19k, and a total water production of +29k. Al my wells(NOT watermills) are at lvl 1 and thus giving +/- 200 water per 12 hours. if you divide the 29k by 200 you're at 145 wells... which means 145 working settlers alone at my wells. A quick count confirms that I have 100+ deep wells. And I have many other buildings.

Nice Bug? Or other logic?

[hades8840]

actually take that back didnt think they do but seems they do odd

[Fadito]

also... http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/26341-The-number-of-workers-decreases


it is...

-> put your free population in the barracks
-> build mines or wells, so that you dont have free settlers that can start working
-> logout for 15-30 minutes to make the server unload your island
-> if you come back the mines and wells got a working settler, but this settler did not counted as working settler
-> when the mine or well collaps you get the settler back and the number of working settlers get reduced... even it did not counted before

I have -65 working settlers! Why?

[MrMark2u]

It's a display issue. You are actually not affected in anyway. I might be wrong, but I think the game calculates the pop of frozen manors/pirate homes incorrectly

[Faststriker]

Its a bug in the game that they do know of and is working to fix. I have had that bug for the most part of a year. In generel its every time you log off with some sort of building that doesn´t have any settlers in them and then something goes wrong. My personal current working pop is -266. pop limit 4584/4740 and army size 4523. So it does affect you current army size.

[LadyElia]

Interesting. I've had it for about a month, and most of the time, my army is 80+ in excess of my population limit, and -100 (give or take 20) working settlers. I also have unemployed settlers randomly show up. If I'm quick enough, I get them training for the army. :-)

Today I have -87!
Are they ghost!?

[Dragonman92]

I now have -701 working settlers plus an additional 300+ extra available unemployed settlers over 1000 extra settlers. I still think it is linked to demolishing and rebuilding mines as the ratio of extra settlers seems to be related to how many mine collapse or are replaced. This is only obvious as I am not doing any adventures and have not for months.

[Faststriker]

Its not only mines, its also the same for wells.

[Puuman]

Check the picture ( i try to link better pic as soon as possible..)

[Jamdoggy]

Sorry Puuman, that image is too small to see anything - the numbers are unreadable, and you haven't described the problem, so no-one has any idea what your bug actually is.
