Mad Island: Bugs and Troubleshooting【バグ報告】 (Workarounds)
Short answer
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Assign the farm job to the villager in their status menu and build a harvest box nearby. Ensure you have one male and one female animal in the breeding pen.
How to fix it
- Make sure your animal breeding pens contain at least one male animal and one female animal.
- Open the status menu for your villager and explicitly assign them the farm job.
- Build a harvest box using a wood workbench (look for the gold box icon) and place it near the farm fields so the working villager has a designated drop-off point for crops.
If it still doesn't work
- Check if your automated farming still fails even after placing a harvest box nearby, trying different villagers, selecting multiple villagers for farm work, repositioning the fields and the box, or placing a well close to the crops.
- Monitor your NPCs for low interaction rates or a lack of pregnancies over long periods, and watch your breeding pens to see if various animals (such as deer, chickens, wolves, and pigs) fail to reproduce.

What players suggest
first problem you must have one male and one female second problem, first assigned villager must set the location near their workplace, and for farms you need the harvest box (built from wood workbench, gold box icon) so villager will put the harvest there
Have the harvest box, the villager walks over the fields and all but does nothing... tried with different villagers, having multiple ones with farm selected, moved arround the fields and box, made a well close to the crops, same thing... Might be a bug on my game :( In your game, the farmig automation works well?
Not sure if is a bug, but wil leave it here anyway! Any feedback is appreciated! - Interactions between npcs barely happen, almost 24h in a single save game, and only two pregnancies, not sure if something I am doing is worng or something with their interactions script is messed up... - Have some breeding pens, with all kind of animals, from deer, chickens, wolves, pigs... and none of them…
