Grinder (and similar stations) stop functioning if crafting is cancelled and cannot be restarted

Basic Info:

Platform: Steam
Issue Type: Gameplay
Game Mode: Single Player
Server Type: PvE
Map: Exiled Lands
Server Name: None
Mods: None


Bug Description:

(Note: I think this may have already been reported, but I cannot find the report.) Crafting stations that lack a ‘play’ button, such as the grinder become bugged if they are interupted and cannot be restarted. The only fix is to destroy the station and replace it. See video for example of this in action. (To the best of my knowledge, this occurs with all workstations that are supposed to work automatically and don’t have ‘play’ buttons, such as grinder, fluid press, beehive, compost heap etc).

Bug Reproduction:

Put item in grinder to start grinding, cancel the process from the crafting queue. (Cancelling by clicking ‘Take All’ does not cause the issue to occur.)

The workaround is to remove the working station and place it again, but you already know this brother.
This problem exists on PlayStation from the age of heroes first update and it’s never consistent, it comes and goes showing up in different stations occasionally.
Thanks for reporting brother :sign_of_the_horns:.

This was a HUGELY reported bug when AOH launched and now that it is back for some makes me irritable lol

If we could understand WHY they removed the stop/play buttons I wouldn’t be so irritated, at least we’d be able to restart it since clearly this is a particularly hard bug to quash. Nevermind playstyles and workflow that were eliminated/interrupted with such a change :frowning:
