Cauldron

[Rosy]

Can we fix that the cauldrons stop working, like I put stuff in there and now I can't access it and I can't pick it up cause theres stuff in there. And my workers aren't using them.

hopefully this is fixed with the next patch. Its literally happening to everyone.

can we stop making threads that already exist 100 times over just to make the same complaint ?

soft fix - Unassign the cauldron, save and reload, re assign the cauldron.
hard fix - Only assign one cauldron per chemist until double cauldron bug is fixed.

If any of the rest of you run into this issue and aren't logical enough to look for one of the dozen threads that already exist and answer this, find your own fix.

This is a major bug, should have been fixed before regular update. All other bugs can be ignored or have an alternative solution, i cant have a full automated cocaine production because of it, these kinds of bugs kill the game when they don't get addressed fast.

you 100% can. Why are you guys so good at complaining but refuse to listen to the answers ?

simply don't put 2 cauldrons on 1 chemist. Bam done.

That is a bug most times caused by pathing conflict.
You can fix it by taking the worker off the cauldron then emptying the cauldron and picking it up. Then placing the cauldron down again and re assinging the worker to it.
edit: I forget if saving and reloading is needed for this one after taking the worker off and picking up the cauldron. May be a good idea to do that.

I have 3 chemists in the barn. 2 of them work 2 cauldrons and 2 ovens and the 3rd chemist works another 2 cauldrons.

At the Docks I have 2 chemists both of them working 1 oven, 1 cauldron and 2 mixers each.

I've seen and reported 4 different bugs that can break automation, 1 of them is the cauldron freeze. Its making late game automation a real pain in the ass.

edit: once its 'fixed' it shouldn't happen again. If it does repeat the above then go so far as to fire the employee and try it with a new one.

complaining? refuse to listen to answers?
Your answer was to only use 1 cauldron per chemist, which doesn't make any sense and kills production rates by double. So, you didn't provide a valid answer to the problem, but tried to make a fool out of everyone else. How nice of you.
