zero productivity

Hi. One of my core provinces has rare materials as a resource. I constructed infrastructure to increase it. It was at last viewing producing 2415 per day. I am presently constructing a level two infrastructure. Anyway, all of a sudden the productivity of that province became zero. I have reloaded the page several times but it still is zero. What could be causing this. I tried searching the forum regarding this issue but did not find anything under zero productivity.

I'd maybe see if it changes when the new day starts.

As stated, it said resource production is updated once per day, so check it once the day changes.

If that doesn't work, submit a support ticket.

This is a true "bug," and it has been a recurring problem throughout my year and a half playing COW. Personally, I've experienced it at least four or five times, and duly reported it each time. Every time, it was a different province, with a different resource, on a different map. There was no discernible pattern, and in most cases it had resolved itself even before a game operator could respond. So persistent have these "zero production" problems been that a better term might be "gremlin" rather than "bug." Fortunately, the problems always seem to resolve themselves in a matter of hours, usually at the next daily update.

So I am curious having never experienced this:

When you select the province it does not display the production, but is that production reflected when you hover your mouse over the rare materials inventory and output at the top of the page?

The pop-up province dialog box will show the symbol for the resource that the province produces (e.g., the sheaves of wheat icon for food), but the tons of daily production shown immediately below will be "0." It's not a display error, either, as I have observed the negative impact on actual daily output of the resource. Game operators have told me that the bug is not uncommon, but rarely recurs in the same place, making it a particularly pesky gremlin to kill.

I'm kind of a fanatic about resource production, so I usually notice the drop in production and then track the cause down, but I am guessing most players never even realize what is happening in one of their far-flung, non-core resource provinces.

Hello,

This is a known bug yes.

This bug can often be just a visual glitch in the round where it says you are proceeding 0 resources but you in fact are producing those resources,

It usually resolves at day change

Also i it goes on longer then day change you can always make a report via the report a bug option in game.
