You need a fire pal to work it

I don't think anyone is surprised their are bugs in Early Access. They're reporting an issue that can stall progression and asking if anyone has a solution or workaround they can employ

I also encountered this issue where my Foxparks, despite kindling being the only task it could perform, wasn't kindling my forge. Restarting will sort of fix the issue, but in my experience it won't be more than a few minutes before it breaks again.

Have you tried picking the fire pal up and throwing it at the smelter and watching for a little light bulb above its head ?

I got one of them fire foxes, it's been cooking and smelting fine for me.

It does take breaks a lot though, or gets distracted and runs off to eat or something but it does get around to cooking and smelting.

I moved my smelter and it's working fine now. I did the same for a few other stations that my Pals were ignoring. Seems like there might be a pathing issue or something that causes them to ignore a station if it isn't placed in a more open area.

Could be, pathing does appear to be the main issue I keep having with this game as well.

Pathing is a big issue right now, sometimes they get stuck in a weird spot and won't path to anything important, and end up starving due to this. You got to periodicly reset your mons if your base isn't in a really flat area.

Maybe I don't get it, but so far doing this has done absolutely nothing for anything.

I've had a few of them stuck walking the edge of the base line and doing nothing. Not even sure what they're attempting to go do when they go over there in the first place since where I setup there's literally nothing over where they get stuck.

How do you move objects in the base? I don't see an option for it. am i dumb or is there a way to do it?

You get a full refund for deconstructing stuff in your base... so you "move" stuff by deconstructing it and rebuilding it somewhere else

As was already stated, you can dismantle for a full refund. Simply press "C" while in the build menu, and you'll switch to dismantling. Click the work station and the resources used to build it will be placed in your inventory, along with any resources that were set aside for ongoing work orders. Since ore is pretty heavy you may need to drop it after dismantling the Forge before you can move around.
