:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Update 153015 added Oysters to the Scenario Editor of Return of Rome. Like in the base game, it is expected that Villagers drop off the gold they gathered from Oysters at the Dock, but this is not possible. Instead, when right-clicking the Dock, the Oyster Gatherers “mine” gold from the Dock, and after gathering 600 gold in total, they continue to swing their pickaxes at the Dock permanently unless given a new task.

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:backhand_index_pointing_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. In the Scenario Editor, paint an area of water for the Oysters and Dock.
  2. Place Oysters for Gaia (“Other” tab) at the shore and a Dock for Player 1 next to it, as well as some Villagers and a Storage Pit.
  3. Test the scenario and order the Villagers to gather from the Oysters.
  4. When carrying enough, they will move to the Storage Pit and ignore the Dock, even though the Dock is closer to the Oysters.
  5. When the Oyster Gatherers are already carrying gold, right-click the Dock. Instead of dropping off gold there, they will gather gold from the Dock and bring the gold to the Storage Pit.
  6. After gathering 600 gold from the Dock in total, the Dock is “depleted” (can be sped up with the “steroids” cheat code). But they will continue to swing their pickaxes while gathering nothing.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

:backhand_index_pointing_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
The Villagers should simply drop off the gold gathered from Oysters at the Dock, like in the base game, not gather additional gold from it.
