Automatic Chest bug [UPDATED 18th Jan]

[Deputy Dawg]

The automatic chest doesn't always refill the artisan machines overnight. When I go into the shed and check what products have been made overnight, I often see empty artisan machines, even though the auto chest is full of crops, fruit etc.

I have to interact with the auto chest to "wake it up", and only then does it refill the machines and put the fresh artisan products into the auto chest storage, ready for collection.

I've seen this on multiple occasions, so it must be a fairly common issue

UPDATE... Since putting up this post I have been carefully monitoring the behaviour of the auto chest machines in my three sheds. The auto chests have been working as intended over the past 4 or 5 in-game days, and they've been supplying the attached artisan machines in the usual way.

So if Rachma from Stairway reads this, I think you can close this case for now.

Thanks

It might also be related to the bug that makes artisan machines stuck on 100% that can't be collected unless you reload the game.

Hi Rachma

Unfortunately I am unable to send a video recording. However, I will monitor the issue over the next few days, to double check that it is still occurring. If the problem is still happening, I will let you know, and forward a save file to you at Stairway.

However, if I don't see it happening, I will update you here in the Steam Discussions Forum.

Thanks

Hi! Thank you for your prompt response.
Yes - If it's possible, kindly trying the game once more and recording a video of the issue. This additional step will greatly assist us in conducting a more thorough analysis to identify the root cause.
Your assistance is highly valued. Thank you so much! :)
