Bug Description:
Unable to complete “Thrall Taker”
Bug Reproduction:
place thralls at workstation (Lv3 Cook on Large Campfire), Living Settlements DISABLED
I have the same issue, cant be completed as the worker cant be placed in the bench as per the journey
Greetings everyone,
Can you try to place a thrall somewhere on the ground, then move it to the bench and interact with the bench.
See if this completes the Thrall Taker journey?
It does not complete…
I have tried multiple times placing a crafting thrall in world then moving it to the station. Doesn’t work.
No it doesn’t
Does not complete.
I have even gone as far as to pull every thrall (I have mostly named Thralls) from my other bases ensure they are not on any bench.
Even destroyed my Bar in case the barkeep was considered “working”.
Assigned one named cook to the large camp fire - no update
Captured a lv2 cook and assigned to the large campfire - no update
I hade a T4 follow me out to the woods, put a campire down and assigned her to it - no update
I am testing these updates in T9 in the northern meadows area, near a little Hamlet with the broken aqueduct there is a water fall.
Hello,
Any other suggestions to try and get this journey to update ?
The same issues rerolled a new character built a new base, and started a thrall taker journey with no other thralls in the game completed each step will not allow the last step to be performed.
Damn… that ‘is’ commitment to the testing process.

Hi Dana,
We believe we have tracked part of the issue, I have mentioned it multiple times in the chats here, but here you go, Living encampments on by the way. Someone needs to try this with living encampments off and see if that is the reason. We need you to change the coding to look for a specific product to be made to advance the quest unless you can figure out how to read the thrall that dedicates ITSELF to the table. We don’t control that with living encampments on. So there is no way to update: Thrall Taker, Master Chef, and the High Priest to a station. Those 3 will remain unfinished until you can find a way for us to get around it. Thanks!
I am sorry to say but this response is simply unacceptable. The purpose of the journey step system is to teach new players how the game works, it acts as a tutorial so having to do weird steps to make the tutorial work is just not an acceptable path to a solution.
Play your own game and try to assign a thrall to a workstation, it just simply does not work as indented and needs to be looked at. It isn’t just the thrall taker step this also happens with the ‘Assign a high priest’ step of the High Priest journey step.
it also isn’t complicated to figure out what is going on here, your dev team changed the code of how thralls are assigned to workstation with the new living settlements system but forgot to update the code for the journey steps
At the very minimum your tutorial should be simple to follow and it should work, if you can’t (or don’t want to) fix that step then just remove it.
It is a bit like asking, have you tried turning it off and on again? 
Same issue here on Xbox
For me I am starting to question putting any more time into the game if I cannot even complete the tutorial; As we need to complete these to unlock later recipies and knowleges.
PoV: What else is broken that I run into later on that will stifle progress ?
Updated during testing my living settlements on server were disabled
@DEVs any findings on how to get around this Journey issue ?
