I have the same issue after loading my save today. Initially they chopped wood, now not even that anymore. Saved last night and exited bc ingame time got stuck and still isn't continuing.

It helped: several restarts + I put the production of anything on the workbench and drove each NPC to the workbench, they started moving. I would like to note that after 2 patches, as for me, it only got worse, the old errors do not go away and new ones appear. As an example: I dragged the NPC and it won't let go, the game freezes, I clicked on the storage box - it freezes, some actions are performed, but the icon does not disappear and the NPC freezes on this object, etc.
NPCs don't collect wood, stone, etc. now...
The game contains a lot of errors, and considering them and that from the very beginning there is no discount on it and considering that so far nothing is better don't become...I'm starting to think about the bad(

Just noticed that my workers didn't move for collecting, their activity switches rapidly between idle and collection (upper left when you right-click on one of them). If I remove all collection assignees I get an endless loop of notifications that no worker is assigned to collecting.
Tried in the save game that's stuck on a specific time and had it happen in a new sandbox game very quickly.
Restarts, even of my pc bc the issues started last night, didn't do anything for me.

I'm also quite disappointed atm. The game breaking bugs are a real pain, it should not have been released yet. I enjoy the concept a lot but it's in no genuinely playable state.
