How to Fix Sawpit Not Making Planks

Assign Families to Material Deliveries

The reason why your Sawpit is not making Planks is likely tied to delivery issues, especially if your settlement only has 1 Ox, and is being used mainly for construction and food deliveries.

While not explicitly explained in game, Timber must be delivered to Sawpits via Oxen to start producing Planks.

Another issue that would make the Sawpit not work is when your Ox is being used for another task. This type of livestock is the one responsible for transporting resources.

You can fix this issue by making sure your current ox is free of tasks or by getting another Ox for your settlement.
