Althenais</a> I know you mentioned in another thread what version of Banished you are running, but, would you mind repeating?
What Banished, and what version of <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> are you using?
I wonder if it's one of the bugged items <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/6-estherhb/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="6" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/6-estherhb/">@
estherhb</a> ?? I can see a changelog, but wasn't too sure if Kral had a to-do list somewhere?
Also, Althenais, do you have enough builders? It's been an oversight in the past where I set my builders to 0, and then couldn't figure out why my buildings weren't being demolished.
Back to basics - make sure you have storage for the 'remains' of the building, there may not be room (barn / stockpile), which is why they are stuck; you may not have enough Laborers available (they empty the contents ready for the builders); you may not have enough builders.
What happens when you 'reclaim them', can you take a screenshot of that as well please?
Good luck, but it shouldn't have taken so long, unless there is a step missing, or they are bugged.
