It has no thrall spot because it is a neW GeN crafting station which utilities different thrall placing mechanism when crafting thrall is not a “resource” but rather a separate in-game entity placed beside the station - this is why it has no thrall slot.
And because new crafting thrall placing mechanism won’t be available until new Age launch (mid 2024) - Spit Roast campfire has no side placing spot either.
Interesting, could be the case. Let’s see how this turns out. But it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s just another fail.
Was it intentional and we are just confused because someone actually planned ahead?
Or did FC just what we expected and screwed it up once again?
Isn’t that thrilling and exciting to wait until it’s revealed in the next chapter?
I expect that to be the case, but releasing incompatible content results in either the former or latter now being bugged.
In the essence it’s not usable in the game due to structure.
Also should not release components of a new system without releasing the foundations of new system. It’s bad in terms of development standards.
(and yes I know technically it exists with the taverns/keepers, but all of the other craftin stations / thralls are still with the previously existing system.)
