Solved

Some solutions - still can’t access the thread so not able to update this week. Hopefully I will be given back access next week…

Not so much a bug more of a formatting issue.

If a thrall has the perks High-Strung, Godly Vigor, and Warden. Then the text description will be enough to push the buff indicators of Warden off the page; below the banner with the ‘Close’ button. - There is no scrollbar.

…and another one.

Crafting Thralls are STILL forgetting they work at a station.

I have had to reassign my Edgesmith and my Alchemist again.

This appears to be an issue with Living Settlements, as both of these Thralls were making use of a bed and chair (respectively).

I also noticed that these stations initialize with “XX_Name” where the Thrall’s name would appear. - Just had my Thaumaturgy Bench do it with my Sorcerer before populating the actual name.

EDIT: And before I could even click ‘reply’ my Alchemist Bench, once again, doesn’t think I have a Thrall. **I LITERALLY JUST ASSIGNED HER TO IT 2 MINUTES AGO.
**
Edit: …and my cook; no longer assigned to the Stove… stfg

I agree, it does sound like a living settlements problem - I have it turned off and don’t have this problem at all (I know that doesn’t solve anything for server players, but it does help narrow down the source of the problem).

(I assume you’ve reported both of these to helpshift as you normally do? With one being ‘formatting’ rather than strictly a bug, I thought I’d check.)

Yep, report’s been made.

Odd thing is I have 3 Improved stoves in the area; 1 is in my home and the other 2 are at the tavern that’s maybe 100 square foundation blocks away.

The stove in the house has no Thrall, the 2 in the Tavern do. Both the house and tavern are connected via a board walk.

EDIT: Heh…you know that Thauma. Bench I mentioned. Yep…“XX_Name” and no longer has a thrall assigned. This is now officially pissing me off.

..It looks like now need to make the Thrall you want to craft with follow you, assign it to the station, and quickly craft before the station breaks again.

Edit2: Also deleting the crafting station and rebuilding it will not auto-add the thrall. You have to manually assign them (green projection).

Edit3: After some testing, because..well…it’s how I am.

It appears the stations have a ‘range’. If the Thrall is currently outside that range, then the station doesn’t remember.

Test:

My Sorcerer is currently standing in my house because there’s no station for her to work (the bench doesn’t know she exists). I built one near my resource depot so I could dismantle it and get enough to build a bench in my house. Without needing to rummage through crates for materials.

I noticed the bench now had my Sorcerer assigned. I checked the other one that’s further away, it was still “XX_Name”.

Build; demolished the bench again and again getting closer to where my Sorcerer has been standing. Once the bench had her assigned (auto assign), I build another one a bit away from it and by extension the Sorcerer (3 square foundation blocks away). This new bench, being only 3 foundation blocks from the one that has her assigned, does not have her assigned; “XX_Name”.

…and 'nother.

Havoc and Malice do not apply ‘Bleed’ effect on heavy or light combos as the Tooltip says it will.
