In Manor Lords, converting your Burgage Plots into production buildings is all good and fun until you either can’t keep up or have an insurmountable amount of shoes.

How to stop Burgage Plots from producing items

When you build a level 2 Burgage Plot extension in Manor Lords, the resident families will lock themselves in to create whatever you’ve selected them to create.Weaponry for your militias, ale for your taverns, clothes, or even armors.

A problem surfaces when the families are taking more materials than you’re able to manage anymore, or when they areclogging up your Storehouseswithso manydamn shoes. Currently, there is only one way to get around the construction of Burgage goods.

Manor Lords Pause Building

When clicking on the Burgage Plot, there should be a small button in the top right,a pause button.

Toggling that on will seize the construction of new goods from that Burgage Plot. They won’t make any more goods, butthey will still peddle them at the market, so they’ll still dwindle and use the produce without making more than you can handle.

Whenever you need the goods again,just unpause it.

Can families stop working in their Burgage Plots?

One thing that many players will be wondering is if they can reassign artisan families in Burgage Plots once production in paused. Unfortunately,you cannot. They will not be a spare hand for construction and can’t be reassigned. When paused, they’ll simply wait around and peddle goods, nothing else.

You coulddestroy the Burgage Plot and make another oneif you desperately wish to stop that family from producing, but it would be wiser to stop this being a problem before it becomes one.

When upgrading a Burgage Plot into a production building, try to think ahead. For the most part,you’ll only need one Burgage Plot handling that productionuntil much later into the game.

Note that it is not worth upgrading a Burgage Plot with an extension to level 3. The extra family you’ll gain will also become artisans, and will lock themselves away, too, making even more items than you can already handle. Not only is it a waste of a family, but will only make your problem worse.

So until Slavic Magic implements systems to help us get around these issues, you’ll just have to be careful and pause production when there’s too much. Alternatively to producing these items yourself, you could justimport them inand save yourself the headache.
