Restore the guild supply behind maintenance
If building maintenance is falling in County of Fortune, check the guilds supplying the region before adding more buildings. The official FAQ recommends increasing carpentry-point production, improving the guild settlement's efficiency with more recipes, or adding another guild to share the workload. Those steps address the documented maintenance economy rather than promising a fix for every reported bug.
The official County of Fortune demo FAQ says Carpenter's Guilds maintain buildings, with masonry guilds contributing later.
Check the guild's actual inputs
A Carpenter's Guild needs wood; a Mason's Guild needs stone. Inspect the production-chain tooltip and any missing-input warning instead of relying only on the region's total resource balance.
The developer explains that building-card production and consumption figures show maximum potential. A displayed output number can therefore coexist with a building that is not producing because an input is missing.
Community reports in a maintenance discussion describe a similar distinction: regional wood surplus did not necessarily mean that the individual guild was receiving enough wood. Treat that as a reason to inspect the guild's own supply and connection, rather than as proof of one universal maintenance bug or a fixed storage threshold.
Increase capacity and efficiency
Once the inputs are reaching the guild, check whether its production can support the region's workload. The official FAQ gives two ways to improve this:
- Supply more recipes to the settlement containing the guild to increase its efficiency.
- Unlock additional building slots in other settlements and construct another guild to spread the work.
For Peasants, wooden chests or wool tunics unlock the second building slot. A new guild still needs its own input supply, so expanding the number of guilds and improving deliveries should be considered together.
Use the regional construction-point balance and top-right display to check the result. Free construction points can replace carpentry points during construction, but the FAQ does not establish them as a replacement for regular building maintenance.
Separate an unresolved bug from an ordinary shortage
Community maintenance reports include players who say their guilds remained idle despite apparent supplies. The obtained discussion does not establish a single confirmed repair that resolves all of those cases; one player also reported that restarting did not solve their situation.
If the documented supply and capacity checks do not explain the problem, preserve the situation and report it through the game's official support channels. In that discussion, the developer requested a save showing the problem. That is a route to investigation, not evidence that deleting files, reinstalling or rebuilding every settlement will fix maintenance.
FAQ
What is the first maintenance check?
Inspect the regional guild chain: wood reaching the Carpenter's Guild, relevant stone supply for masonry, and enough working point production for the workload.
How do recipes help maintenance?
The official FAQ recommends more recipes in the guild's settlement to improve efficiency, which supports its point production.
Is every idle guild a confirmed bug?
No. Missing inputs and insufficient capacity are documented possibilities, while community reports also describe unresolved cases. Check the actual guild before assigning a cause.
