Each building will display its productivity up to 100%. This will be calculated by how many products each job can sell to the warehouse or stockpile each day.
At the end of the day, each worker will receive their pay based on their workplace productivity. If there are jobs mainly idle, this could cause people to starve due to them or their families not earning enough money.
Larger family list displaying cousins, aunties and uncles.
Adjust food purchasing system.
In a few days, a patch will come out, adding step by step building for Cheesemonger and Cobbler. There may also be a placement fix for the pasture.
