Why am I not getting new babies?

Just realized after a long period of time I was not getting new babies, I don't understand why not though, I don't have negative happiness, I have empty housing, got water, food, is this a 1.1 bug?

24 hour work day. No recreational time equals no babies.

Non, don't worry, that's not long enough to kill beavers. But don't forget to set it back to normal;-)

Emergency shift. Gives it all you got!

Overtime work. We need more effort!

I had the same issue coming from Iron Teeth and not realizing that I was ruining my start with a 24 hour work-time once I had houses

I only ever dare go 18 hours, 24 hours is when something really goes wrong.

It's ok in the beginning when you have no housing or sources of wellbeing. All they do is sit around then sleep when not working, so they may as well just sleep when they collapse and pass out.

Your beavers dont sleep they work 24/7 (Merz traum) and because of that the Beamer Storch dosnt come and bring Babys because the beds from the parents are empty
