Micropiglets are not spawning for players other than host - tested with few friends in current public steam build. Slaughterpen of any player other than host always says 0/X micropiglets domesticated. Game is unplayable in multiplayer until this is fixed.

Workers stop delivering food to tavern after a while

Current steam public build

When game lasts longer than ~15 minutes and there are alot of minions, workers will simply stop delivering food to the tavern. They are all idle and my slaughterpen is full.


Its not related to any mission or map, happens in all games. I have to refill my tavern manually or minions will complain about being hungry all game.

Hey there,


I just mentioned this issue on the steam forums a little while ago.

Seems at a certain point beasts somehow refuse to feed.

Everything was normal in the beginning, but now I get the message:

"Your minions cannot reach a slaughterpen" even though it's right there.


Appearantly this happens right after beast get out of the arena.

Mainly lvl 5 and above.


Haven't done anything spectacular, like recalling all minions, or sealing off certain parts of my dungeon.


I played on a 1player-map I created myself.


I can record a video, too if that helps

Actually, just confirmed in another test.


After 1 hour of idling on host and client the client's units began to ignore pigs in the Slaughterpen despite there clearly being available pigs on both Host & Client screens.


Replication steps:


  1. Setup Multiplayer on any level 1v1 is fine
  2. For client build two beast dens and a slaughter-pen all 5x5
  3. Idle for an hour
  4. Units should now ignore the pigs
  5. Optional Extra: Slap the pigs as the client, they'll move but not die, no movement on host side.

    Confirmed in Singleplayer as well. Only seems to affect beasts so far but I'll keep my eyes on the Tavern

    Just made some tests in multiplayer. The "0/x piglets domesticated" bug is only visual and doesnt affect gameplay. Minions still eat from it - at beginning of the game atlast. Here are screenshots from both client and host of the same slaughterpen.

    The real bug remains which is minions ignoring slaughterpen after extended period of time (workers with tavern, beasts, not sure what else), in singleplayer i have to reload save every 15 minutes to keep playing but ofcourse we cant reload save in multiplayer so multiplayer remains unplayable until this is fixed.


    Edit: 1 hour to to ecounter this bug seems alot. In my games workers stop filling the tavern after 10-15 minutes. And sometimes when I have 2 taverns they will still fill the new tavern while old one is 0% food.

    Cultists seem to be affected by slauhgterpen bug aswell. Are they supposed to eat only from tavern? Tavern description says only high level minions require it. My level 1-2 cultists were ignoring my slaughterpen today (I didnt have tavern yet). I was getting message that they cant reach slaughterpen even when standing directly in it. After creating tavern they rushed to eat from it and stopped complaining.


    Probably more minions than just beasts and workers are affected, its just not as easy to catch because other minions eat from tavern and dont complain because of it.

    I player some skirmishes and saved each time beasts started complaining about slaughterpen (save description shows time spent in a match). The bug always occurs after 25~ minutes for me
