Problem with cauldrons

[King Lord]

cauldrons become non interactive for anyone, including workers, randomly. Only by quitting and loading resets it. It usually happens within 5 minutes of playing. As far as i have seen it only happens in the warehouse.

ive seen some people say smacking the assigned chemist helps, in my MP game, we are testing out after a reload rearranging the cauldron layout and reassigning the chemists to various stations to see if that fixes the issue.

happens in the barn too as well as the bungalow, ive tested it everywhere the only thing i can figure out, is it has to do with the pathing from the AI, they AI get stuck in route to the cauldrons and then the game thinks the NPC is at said cauldron. ive tried giving them more space and the issue still arises, the only thing that works for sure is doing the cauldrons yourself which sucks ass if your automating your coke manufacturing

I can speak only for the barn cause that's the only place where I have cauldrons, but what always works for me and never caused issues is to make sure that each chemist has only one cauldron assigned. In my case I have an "automated coke factory" with 8 mixers. So each of my 4 chemists has 2 mixers, one cauldron and one oven assigned and I never had issues with this setup. Hope this helps.

oh boy does it ever. in my MP game, we have the warehouse set up in a big circle, pots up front, dry racks to the right, cauldrons and ovens in the back, a maze of mixing stations down the left, finishing with a brick press near the front door. and aside from the SINGLE cauldron bugging, it runs quite well

I have the same issue, stopped playing till its fixed. I don't understand how this game is going downhill so fast... There was never problems and now it seems like EVERYTHING is a problem. WTF is happening

just kill the worker its stuck to, sleep and they will be fixed in the morning. doesnt require resetting anything
