With new releases, players often experience bugs and glitches, and they would think that the Manor Lords Sawpit not working is something of the same nature. While it is undoubtedly a nagging issue, it is not a bug or glitch, but an in-game mechanic. If you don’t use it properly, you will not see the Sawpit working.

If the Sawpit isn’t giving you Timber and you’re missing Planks, this guide will help you fix the non-working problem. While it’s a simple gameplay tweak, you’ll need a few empty items in hand, along with families that can be assigned to the job. You’ll also need the Lumber Camp, Well, Hitching Post, and Storage.

The Sawpit is not bugged, but the biggest problem here is that its storage capacity is 1 Timber and the Ox can only carry 1 Timber. However, to process one Timber into Planks, it doesn’t take long and the family member assigned to the Sawpit goes home. One of the members is responsible for fetching water, another one brings the Ox to the Sawpit, and the one who makes logs goes back home under the waiting status. This is the reason why players are complaining about the Manor Lords Sawpit not working issue.

The only possible solution to this problem is to make sure that the family member that leaves for the house each time is placed close to the Sawpit. If the house is closer to the Sawpit, players will reduce the travel time on the loop. While this doesn't completely solve the problem, it can at least make it work.
