Soapworks not taking lye

[Stove]

I built a second ashery right next to the soapworks (also right next to a forester), and enabled all supply types, restarted the game, and the soapworks just sits there with 500 tallow slowly degrading. Very frustrating.

Worked it out immediately after posting this. Sigh. You have to set potash production to 0 at the ashery or else it just immediately turns the lye into potash

Sorry to ask, but how do you make lye?

Also made in the ashery. In addition to ash, it can produce lye and potash.

I've also experimented with 2 asheries to get efficient production of all 3 items.

Thanks Bjorn -;)
