Assign Thrall To Station not working?

[Droid]

The journey step for assigning a thrall to a crafting station will not complete unless I am doing something wrong? You put the thrall in the world like the old way of putting a fighter into the world? Then set them to guard on the station?

Yeah, I have the same problem, very frustrating. Can anybody out there help us, please :-)

Tried it multiple times with different thralls, must be a bug, needs to be reported to funcom, unless they already know

I can assisn them to a workbench OK but they won't stay there. They keep moving to another bench. I only had the one Alchemist so I put it on the Alchemy bench where it was needed most. It decided to go to the firebowl cauldron. The same with the Blacksmith. He decided to wander over to the Tinkers bench.
When you are setting up a base it is hard to work out what thralls you still need to get because the ones that you have are wandering around. You have to visit each bench to see if you need a thrall on it or not. Not overly impressed with this part of the update so far.

One will now have to be very careful about Purges. Set you coffer too close to your base, and you could lose your crafting thralls (unless you send them to your tailor first to be fitted out in the best armour).

You get the benefit of having the thrall placed weather the thrall is at the bench, sleeping, eating or warming hands at the fire. If you have multiple T4 armorers or blacksmiths with different specialties, you get to choose which one applies.

Unless you want the thralls at your base to count in a purge and increase the number of attackers in each wave, build your purge base far enough away that the thralls in your main base do not show in the followers tab.

Regardless, it's impossible to complete the Journey (and therefore unlock the Purple Lotus Orbs).

My post was not about T4's, just thralls in general. Have you tried to move a thrall from the station you assigned it to, when it is playing tiddly-winks elsewhere.

I understand that the thralls are able to take care of more than one bench, which makes it better for needing less thralls in general, I was more relating to the journey step not working

9/8 still a problem on my single player game

Noticed this as well. Got stuck up on an earlier step actually when it asks you to place a warrior type thrall in the world because the Thrall seems to just pop out of the Wheel so you can't put them in your inventory and THEN place them in the world. I did manage to check off this step using a tame though.
But the assign the crafter to workbench, just can't do it. You can't drag one manually from your inventory to a station, and placing them through the new setup in world doesn't count.

Yeah got both the same problems. it does really mess up progression and imerrsion. Really hope they fix it soon.

The journeys are probably low priority for them to fix. I assume it doesn't complete because thralls are no longer "items" but actual thralls. Obviously worth fixing nonetheless but I wouldnt worry too much about them rn

I have the same thing, cant complete the thrall journey as you cant assign a worker thrall to a bench, they have to be placed in the world like a fighter. I imagine they will fix that to recognise when the worker starts affecting the bench

[Deacon the destroyer]

Once you place them in world, grab them and set them to a bench. If that doesn't work file a bug report.

I placed a cook directly from my inventory, then added fuel/meat and started the cooking process. Journey step marked as complete, Thrall Taker journey completed.
