Often, when I try to access a crafting station, I have to press E several times just to get in.
And then, the “craft” button is grayed out half the time. Sometimes, leaving the crafting station and returning fixes it, sometimes it doesnt.
Sometimes, taking the resources out and placing them back works. Sometimes, nothing works. Cant craft at all. Its infuriating.
Example,
I have resin and fibre, but I cant make stone consolidant
Yeah, I’ve run into the greyed out crafting buttons a few times - what works for me is to select a different recipe then go back to the one I wanted and the buttons usually come back. (Don’t need to craft the other recipe, just click on it then click back.)
I’ve reported the following as a bug, but I’m also having weird issues with crafting.
For example, queuing en masse resource conversion (eg. Over 1000x shaped wood), the UI will not accept it. But if I lower to say some arbitrary number around 500, it’ll work ish.
In other cases, I have all the materials available and the UI says it cannot craft it. Or “Have 1, Max 0”.
Man, same thing happens to me. The button goes gray because the bench scans the nearby chests and other benches, and sometimes it just chokes. Usually waiting a bit fixes it, but sometimes you gotta close and reopen the bench to get it working again.
As for the quantity bug, it’s super easy to reproduce. I’ve been handling it by typing in a slightly smaller number, like if I want 1000, I put 990, and then it works fine. Kind of a workaround, but it does the job.
I’ve also noticed that sometimes when I click craft, nothing happens at all. I think it’s just server lag.
I have had the same where I wanted to make several stacks of shaped wood, it started working but when I come back after a minutes I see that it cancelled the production entirely.
The only thing that work is smaller amounts or spam “craft 10” a dozen times. Though in the carpenter bench the buttons will grey out when its producing, you you have to wait and “whack a mole” the button when the option is available.
I’ve also been experiencing all of these crafting issues.
I have determined that the slider is automatically reverting to a very small amount when initiating Craft Many, you can see the slider physically move on its own when you close it out.
If you intented to craft the auto amount selected, you can still craft that amount, move the slider back and forth or type in the amount. Workaround until it is fixed.
Just fyi, when you place materials in the crafting station and craft many, it will default to total to craft for the materials in the station, but will allow for you to bump it up if materials are in a chest. This jeeps from accidenatlly crafting all available if you like to keep some raw mats in chests.
