for me logout for an hour didn't help
it is fixed for me, maybe logout for more than 1 hour + floating residence helped
I got my unemployed workers and population increase to work but I have 11 workers doing something that I don't know. I counted that I should have 198 workers but the tool tip shows 209.
I had 11 sleeping work yards when my population increase started to work but that might be coincidence.
This is becoming really annoying! I did all we were told: added a residence, cleared the cash an history of the browser, logged out for more than 30 mins and my settlers max total is now inferior to my actual settlers total (which wasn't the case 30 mins ago)! What's going on Bluebyte???
It's all very well for Blue Byte to be saying that 'so and so is how you fix the issues'. The point is that these issues shouldn't be there in the first place, and wouldn't be if the 'fixes' had been adequately tested!
I spent 200 settlers buff for population increase this morning and nothing happened, had minus in copper production, so I expect something in return....apology at least
Did you check Mayor's house Basic tab and it told you how many settlers you have?
Updated.
It's probably both "workers not returning to unemployed status" and "no settlers regen" during maintenance causing this lack of settlers.
I'll try to show and explain soon in a new post.
