Stuck on Journey Step "Grind Silver"

I’m trying to go through my journey steps (even though I previously fulfilled some of them with the old system) and I’m stuck on Potion Maker’s “Grind Silver”.
I’ve tried taking everything out of my inventory, tried bars vs coins, tried placing a new grinder, tried smelting new bars, made sure there was no silver already in my inventory. I can’t think of anything else and no one has posted anything online on how to overcome this issue.
The only thing I can think of that could be the problem is a mod interference because there’s little blue marks in the corners of the silver bars.

Please, I’m looking for someone that figured this out that can help me, thank you.

Doesn’t look like you need help to me.
What mod?

Option is; if you can, disable the mod, do the step, reenable it.

Yes it’s some mod interferring with a new Journey system. You should report it to the mod author, they can somehow update their mods to trigger Journey steps. Or you have to disable this mod temporarily to make this step and enable it afterwards. If you take grinder, silver and go out of the rendering distance of your base before logging out to disable mod in question your buildings will not collapse I hope.

Yeah, sounds like the modded silver bar has a different item ID or something else that prevents the game from recognizing it as the proper material for the journey step. This is always a risk with mods that add or alter items in the game if the modder doesn’t account for every possible interaction.

I’m having the same issue in my unmodded single player game. It’s just another buggy journey step. I’m trying to figure out a way around this now. I will let you know if I find anything.

Finally got it to trigger

Step 1: empty inventory to include hot bar and equipped armor (zero weight)
Step 2: log out to main menu
Step 3: Return to game
Step 4: retrieve a single silver bar from your stored items
Step 5: enter the grinder’s inventory screen
Step 6: press the play button, so that the grinder will be paused when you add the bar
Step 7: transfer the bar to the grinder.

The journey step should complete. If you need silver dust, press the grinder’s play button now.

Put Silver Dust in, take Silver Dust out.

Several of Put item in, take out. You can put “result” of item in and take it out and have it count.

Only one I can not get to work is Coal/Oil in Press. Most of others (i’m aware of) I bypass by putting end result of item in, and taking it out. XD

Yeah, that works on a lot of the steps, but I couldn’t make it happen on this one. Not knowing anything about the back end code I can’t be sure, but it seems like some of the conditional queries aren’t looking at the same thing as the instructions are telling us to accomplish. If that is true, what I have been doing is compiling a list of actions that seem to get the step to trigger, then going through that list one step at a time until it works. This step took almost every action on my list, short of building a new station.

But hey, if it gets the job done, right?

Silver one, after double checking is… buggy.

It works, but it doesn’t work 1st or 2nd try. It does work…eventually in my test run.
