The journey Blacksmith is bugged

[sanderbrown83]

Blacksmith-journey is bugged; I am stuck at the step "Craft an iron pick". I have tried crafting it several times, I have restarted the game and the server and I have switched between journeys as well.
There seems to be a bug that only applies to this step in this specific journey. Can it be related to having a tier 4 thrall working the Blacksmith's? If so, it should not be.

Did you take the pick out of the bench? The journey steps are a little inconsistent. Some only require you craft the item. Others require you to actually pick it up once it's done crafting.

Also, make sure that particular journey is active at the time. Again, I've noticed some seem to give credit anyway, like craft a legendary weapon, but others simply won't progress unless it's active.

I checked that the journey was active and I did the following steps:
- I put all the crafting mats into the bench, one by one;
- I crafted the iron pick;
- I took the iron pick out of the bench.
Journey step still wasn't complete.

I have checked other journey requiring crafting items, they did not seem to be affected by this bug.

And yes, not only does the journey have to be active in order for you progress through it, you also need to follow them step by step, even if it means crafting new workbenches or gathering mats anew. I have done all of those, in this case.

I think lots of them are glitchy at best. I had to use fluid press to get oil, and it didn't work at first because I already had 1 oil in inventory, only after I put all oils I had back to press and retake them it worked.

Ye, you have to do "rinse and repeat" sometimes, as in empty the workstation, turn it off, then put the item into the station and press "play", then take out the item. All this time you MUST NOT have the starting item nor the product in your inventory, else the step of the journey you're on won't be completed.

Do you by any chance have mods?

Yes, I do, and no, they should not affect the journey, I have checked the fora.

How do you know that?.... there are quite a large number of mods that do affect it.. in fact there are some badly made ones that affect it even thou they really have nothing to do with it.

I. HAVE. READ. THE FORA. THAT is how I know. In fact, I haven't encountered any other bugs in any other journeys.

Okay, well then feel free to be angry and have a broken journey.... you clearly don't need help

[Xevyr]

Have you calmed down yet?...

If so... you might be interested to know that I actually make mods... as such I know exactly why and how certain mods can break certain journey steps...

I can also see it in the source code that the journey step you are trying to complete merely requires you to pick up ANY iron tool, be it a sickle or cleaver etc. so if it's not triggering, then clearly something is interfering with it... hence why I was asking about your mods.... so find out which one...

I also happened to have made a mod that can just complete it for you to be able to get past that stage, but I was hoping to save that as a last resort before suggesting it, because it's better to find out which mod is interfering with it, especially since there's a chance that will cause you other issues as well.

Good luck...

So YOUR solution to solve a bug the devs left in the game, a bug which may or may not be caused by mods, according to yourself, is to... install a mod you made yourself. Marvellously done, sir, I tip my fedora in your honour.

[Xevyr]

No... I know for a fact that this is not a bug in the game and that some of your mods are interfering...
And you seem to be having a temper tantrum about it on the forums...

I was trying to help. but you seem to be overly stuck up about it to realize that... and no, you don't have to install that, there are some mods however that you can't just "remove" without consequences and until their authors update them to support the new journey system, something like this mod is a viable solution to get past portions where people get stuck... use it.. don't use it... up to you...

It would definitely be better if you put in the effort and figured out which of your mods is causing this instead of ranting about how the "game is bad" on the forums...

But hey... you could always keep being defensive and argue with people on the internet who are trying to help... that will definitely solve your journey problem....

[sanderbrown83]

This is a bug, and I will wait for the devs to fix it, thank you very much and goodnite.

[Xevyr]

Okay.. sorry to have inconvenienced you. Happy waiting!

I'm stuck at the first survival step xD Simply can't get past it, so you can consider yourself lucky I guess. I like the new setup of the journey steps, but damn... couldn't they at least made sure they actually triggered correctly before shoving them into the game? xD
