Quick answer
On older builds, building and supplying two Small Gun Towers at roughly the same time can consume the black powder needed for the tutorial objective. Update first; on an affected save, keep one tower supplied and let the next objective resolve before building the second.

Safe sequence
- Check the game version and install the latest patch.
- During the tutorial, build only one Small Gun Tower.
- Confirm the black powder producer and Fetcher route are working.
- Wait for the ammunition objective to complete before adding another tower.
If the objective is already stuck
Save, reload, and check whether the objective clears on the current build. Do not demolish random production buildings or spend the remaining powder until the tutorial state is clear. If the save remains blocked, record the build, tower count, and objective text for a support report.
FAQ
Is this still a universal bug?
No. It was an officially acknowledged tutorial issue and may be fixed on newer builds; verify before changing a working save.
Can I build two towers later?
Yes, after the tutorial ammunition objective has completed and the powder chain has enough reserve.
