It sounds a bit like you are using a mod that was made before the last update of Banised (it added new flags/categories/limits), so your firewood resource is not correctly handled.
It's either the resource itself that's not flagged correctly, or the house's inventory that doesn't allow new stuff. Not sure why it would correct itself for a house when you add another though.That's just super weird.

What mods are you using, and do you know how old they are?

nope all are updated or approved.. but I'm having a variety of issues a cornacopia of issues I now have typhus, and no doctor no where near a doctor not even a herbsmender as yet, I don't have the people to spare for a doctor or build their facility, they are still buillding homes for themselves to funny.. I wonder if an herbmender can fix it oh well.. Thanks for the comment Mega Mod is 1.07 or 10.7 hmm and so are the rest.. btw I guess I will go report it to Blackliquid

I'm going to guess you mean MegaMod 0.07 (unless you are testing the MM 8 beta), which means you should have the compatibility mod above it, as MM7 was made for Banished 1.0.6.
You can find it here[blackliquidsoftware.com] on the BlackLiquid site.
Without that compatibility mod, you're going to run into some issues where things can't be stored in the right place, or used by the correct buildings, because of some issues due to the new categories. It will "mostly" work, but not 100%, and the problems you'll get will be people looking confused, carrying stuff around beacuse they don't know where to put what.

Side note: adding this mod mid-game will not fix the issues you already have in your town unless you destroy the existing stuff and rebuild, but will make sure whatever you build after adding it will work correctly. So basically you'll be better off writing down your map seed and restarting your town.

They have a patch so I will try it.. no its 8 they are pretty good at updating it.. well we will see or I will just start over its no biggie.. these were new games um yea your very good your self but I already have a seed file I keep of all the games I've kept and played this current one is a very good water world if your interested its two islands you start on the small one and if you make it bridge to the second one and have plenty of room currently starting on CC very large Harsh DSSV's harder start, 2 edutcated family starting with nothing.. accept kids ON and Hard seed 379733510 UM no compatibility mod it was removed sometime ago after the game went to 1.07 version no beta if you try it you will just get the regular game btw if you try to run beta it set it up and then changes you out of it.. So that mod is no longer needed all the running files were updated in Mega Mod at least at this time.. I'm not adding, I'm just updating the files

In closing, it fixed the issues they went away after a few minutes of running the game .. Thanks for at least having an idea. BTW no offense is meant but I had those issue when I used the compatibility mod druing the first part of 8 when it was required, I still had them after I stopped using it, because the author of Mega Mod said it wasn't needed any longer, but they seem to be gone in vers 3 of mega mod.. at least for me..

Ah, yeah, no compatibility needed with MM8 indeed. Thought you had the Steam version, which is still the "old" MM7 one.
MM8 is still in its phase of last checks before official release, so there are still bugs in it. There will probably be a RC4 version before it's out "for real". So if you find bugs in the MM8 mod though, we prefer seeing them on the website. I think I'm the only one checking this part of the Steam forums regularly, and I'm only a forum/community moderator / tester in the BL team, not a modder. :)

Your the author of the compatibility mod? I requinze your name from there but I don't remember where there hehe..,sorry my spelling and grammar are horrid I'd write a book but no one could read it lol I did go to post there but found the new version so I just took that instead. It made no sense to beat a dead horse. I didn't have any problems when I first took them, I wonder what changed to bring them about..

Oh, definitely not a mod author, just part of the BL team as play-tester and community person. :)
There's still some bugs in the current version, Kralyerg is tackling them as they get reported. Next version should have very few of them left.

opps i just killed all but 2 families and they are so starved they will more then likely die while getting food. I feel asleep , kinda of a nono in this game.. nite to you..
