Cauldron BUG!!!

[Father]

Anyone else experiencing the issue where the Cauldron will become inoperable and stuck to the ground with all the ingredients inside? Sometimes a restart fixes it, sometimes not.... the Botanist wont ever complete its task.

Yes, super annoying. Impossible to transition into late game because of it.

I am not having that issue, my issue is attempting to put the leafs into the cauldron and failing. If one leaf does not line up right I am unable to drop it into the pot, lmfo wtf. Then when I exit out and re attempt it reset the entire process all over again, f%^king madness. lol hopefully they fix it fast.

Ok, update. If anyone else is having the same issue, leave the gas can for last this allowed me to properly pick of the leaf and get the right alignment to drop in the cauldron.

its an early access game guys ... stop being mad about bugs ... or did you all not readed the early access disclaimer before buying it?
lesser raging about the bugs would help, report it instead in the official discord or directly from the ingame function (tho i think they have too much stuff open right now so, discord would be the way to go).

if you dont like all this, either wait until the game is finished or simply dont touch games in early access ...

Yes I'm getting this bug, I just keep placing and new cauldrons then they are getting bugged too.

Tried submitting a bug report for it with my save but was getting a too many ticket error like you were saying weiss, I'll submit a bug report via dev's discord

I just got this bug a few times. What fixes it for me is the following:

1. Assign a chemist to the cauldron.
2. If the chemist ignores it because it is bugged, then save, restart the whole game, and hopefully the chemist will interact with it and unbreak it.

If the cauldron is empty, I have my botanists put leaves into the cauldron (set coca pot destination to the cauldron).

Found a fix worked for me. Unassigned the chemist, saved, reloaded and assigned it back.

temporary fix keep happening need patch :(

I've found a solution that worked for me. It would happen again and again after saving and reloading. The only permanent solution was to limit a chemist to only 1 cauldron. Assigning more than one cauldron to a chemist would lead to this bug happening over and over. so far it hasn't happened once since this trick.

Yep, this is the way. 1 per chemist and no issues

[Father]

for what it is i found a little fix about it ...... just take out the cauldron out of the chemist assigned station and after sometime it will become usable again just do it with all your cauldron... i got 8 so when 1 got bugged i just unassign it and assign when it become normal
