Oh knowledgeble ones!
Is there a reason that as my houses develop, they may have a couple of hundred units of food but they will never have more than 8 units of pottery or beer? This makes it so difficult to maintain a stable housing block.
My housing block is a simple oval with all of my 1x1 and 2x2 services inside the oval. There is a utility road around the outside for the bigger items. Nothing fancy but it usually works well for me. I generally play on the easiest setting but I get the same results on normal and hard.
At first, I thought it was a supply problem. But no, I have two stockyards - one full of pottery, the other full of beer, and ample production to maintain a full stock yard.
I have tried adding an extra bazaar or two - does not help. I have tried various combinations of "BUY" settings for the bazaar ladies - does not help.
It also seems to be the same if I play around with the Sandbox or any of the "pre-made" scenarios. I do not remember the name right now, I have just finished building the mausoleum in the cliffs and I have to build 12 Stately Manors, and it is a real struggle because my houses constantly evolve and devolve so quickly.
