Fish oil?

[Bedna]

I can't find how to manually make this.
Workers can make it in any sunken hearth with a cooking pot, but I can't find any place where I can make it. The only oil I can make is from canola, but that is seasonal for me...

[Winter's Embers]

Make it at the fisherman's workstation. NPC's can also make it there.

[Bedna]

I checked that station, and I can only assign workers, not create anything like on other workstations...
The fishing net station works though, I can create rope and fishing nets there.
Is it just my game?
Bug reporting time?
Can you double check that you actually can create stuff at that station?

Edit
I double checked in both my fishing huts and in none of them, neither workbenches nor boats I added can I manually manufacture oil. Only a "press T to manage workspace".

BTW, the boat is bugged too, it can only be built on the side the fishing net station is not located on by default. Even if you move the net station you can't build on that side even though there are "boxes" that indicate I should be able to.
Same on both fishing huts I have in my world.

At the workbench you only can assign workers, you can place a second workbench, you can do fishing nets at the tailor`s workbench. Yes, only one boat, here too

I have 2 workbenches in one of the huts, it's the same on both.

I guess It's a bug.

It appears that, like some other things, they have removed the ability to make fish oil manually. None of my hearths, with or without cooking pots, has the fish oil anymore. I'm guessing they don't want us making it ourselves.

So how to make stuff that requires oil outside of the season canola is in? (assuming you also do NOT use the canola for food).
My fishermen is there to fish, not make fish oli, I can do that manually, or I want my cooks to do it, but they are busy making FOOD for consumption.
I have more than 500 fish, I want to be able to USE that, I already have enough cooked food, I need oil.
If it is intended by the devs, PLEASE revert, it is extremely silly.
If it is unintended, please let us know so bug report can be created with reference to this thread.

How much fish is used by the cooks each season? With two fisherman i would assign one for fishing and one for oiling. With my 20 inhabitants one fisherman is doing both, with a surplus of one or two fish, and i`m having still two workplaces in the hut free. i can`t see any bug.

[Winter's Embers]

You need to access the task for the fisherman and click on the double-arrow icon next to the product in the far left box, in this case, the fish icon. This opens up a selection menu for that workstation. Select oil for the NPC to produce.
I doubt the oversight on the manual creation of fish oil is actually intended. I meant my comment about that as a humorous aside. There are a multitude of issues the dev team is facing and they can only do so much each day.

So where are you making fish oil manually?
Are you going to play the entire game with only 20 villagers?

If it is intended to NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE OIL FROM FISH MANUALLY, it's silly.
If the workbench is supposed to be accessed manually to make oil, the devs should include that into a list of known bugs so we as players know they are working on it.

[smackwaterjack(Mercenary)]

Not manually the fisher is making it, catching 26 fish, 13 for cooking and 13 for oil production, at a workload of 60%.
Not the entire game, actually i`m thinking about growing to 24 villagers in the hope they will use the collected weapons on the watchtowers.

Then perhaps you should move this topic over to the bugs thread. It is far easier for the devs to see the bug reports when they are all collected in a single thread. Bugs reported in general chat are often lost to the scroll.
As I said, right now, there is no current way to make fish oil manually. However, this was possible in earlier versions of the game so it is likely an oversight. Please use the proper channel to ensure maximum visibility of the issue you are trying to bring their attention to.

[Bedna]

I would move it now that it is confirmed that it IS a bug.
But moving topics is not something the users can do on steam forums, it is for the mods of the forum to do.
And to be honest, the forum is not THAT popular that I should have to make a new thread about it.

Besides, this is probably the last time I will be on this forum for a while, I grew tired of the game but will come back if there are updates showing the annoyances are gone.
I'm not making a bug report I won't check for followup questions by the dev, there are clearly more people affected by it than me. :)

i got 2 x fisherman in 2 villigaes they makes lots of fish but zero fish oil. if even i give 1 fishmen only 1 singel task in workstation (all matirials are green water and fish) and i got like 500 fish in food and more then 1000 water in the store they dont make any oil at all and i cant make it manual. i have changed workes several time the same, they dont make any fish oil, and the same issire i have with stone cutters, i got a lot of stone in the store, it is green in workstation task option screen but they still dont make stone block at all ( yes they got tools as well).

Make sure the oil is not being used for heating, uncheck its use in Priorities tab. Same for Chiseled Stone is used for maintenance, a lot of it.
