A bug was just reported last night and I've just found the cause and a solution for PC players, unfortunately for Xbox players who have this bug, it involves resetting Sim Settlements progress.
Patch 2.0.5a was just uploaded as a hotfix to prevent this.
Do I have this bug?
If you uninstalled Industrial Revolution, or an add-on pack that made use of the Sim Settlements resource generation code, your settler scripts can become locked up. You'll know you have it if you uninstalled an add-on that you had a building for and your settlers have since stopped responding to assignment.
What can I do?
If you already have this problem, your save can be fixed on PC (explanation below), if you're having this issue on Xbox, you'll have to disable Sim Settlements, load and save your game to clear it from your save, and then re-enabled it.
I apologize deeply for this, it was never caught in testing as we're always looking for compatibility issues with installed mods, never with uninstalled. Going forward, new features will be tested with add-on pack un-installation to ensure something like this doesn't happen again.
PC Fix
Open your save with Fallrim Tools, expand Active Scripts, find any entries that start with “autobuilder:autobuildparent”, right-click on them and choose Terminate. Now save your file.
