How to fix Sawpit not working in Manor Lords

If Sawpits aren’t working for you in Manor Lords, one consistent solution is to assign an Ox to the Sawpit—according to players—as they are key for moving around big materials. Also, make sure you have assigned jobs to villagers for the Sawpit.

To do this, hover over your Sawpit, click, go to the “Advanced” options, and you can assign livestock to the Sawpit—giving your Ox a happy home to work.

As long as you have both of these solutions in place, your Sawpit should produce a healthy supply of resources, and your Ox is there to gather those materials and keep the production line moving smoothly.
