My boat stops hauling crab pots! (Coastern)

[teampenner]

I have over 100 hours in.. Saved and bought a crab boat, set pots, anchored, hauled pots then BLAMO the pot hangs at the side of the boat, worker keeps working and won't haul pot. Tried stopping, forward and reverse. Can't remove the worker from the crane. Only choice I have is to loose my progress. Thought maybe this was a one off but it has done it twice. This game is so fun to get wrapped up in when it works.

This issue should be fixed in the latest update! Sorry for this

Thank you!

I have to report, that this is not fixed. I experienced it just yesterday with the Coastern.

Scarlet I had it happen to me tonight. I had a baited pot i did not want to set it, i was hauling a line of 20 and the first one bugged. Could not drop the baited pot on the rack, could not drop the pot full of crabs on the crane. Could not remove the worker from the crane.
I even tried a rescue. Did not reset the pots. Worker was tired but still stuck on pot.

Same problem with a pot stuck under the boat (starboard side) of the Atlantic Catcher. Using thrusters to the sides, goin forward and/or reverse at increased speed does nothing to free it? Aside from saving the game after each pot is hauled, is there no other fix for this that previous updates/patches were supposed to?

Thanks, we're looking into these

I found that if I'm using thrusters while hauling pots the crane operator will sometimes get stuck. I stopped using the thrusters and have had no problems.

Happened today on Arctic Pioneer

And today with the Knots Guilty, turned out the AI had put a baited pot on the sorting table and that prevented the pot of Lobster from being retrieved.
