[SOLVED]Can't get my dudes to craft weapons

[HatBuster]

Heya!

I just recently got the game, started my first character and am very successful so far.
I went all the way into technology level 6, I have a Weapon Smithing Bench III, it's full of both Fabric and Steel Bars, it shows a thing in the bottom ("Crafting: Ringed", since that's what I want to make).
But when I order my guy to work on it he just.... doesn't. He doesn't ever leave idle mode, doesn't attempt to get close to the bench at all, nothing.
I thought maybe the bench was in a bad position so I made a second one outside. Didn't help.

I cleared the materials out and reloaded a few times, but no luck so far.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advace!


EDIT: What helped for me:
Don't hold the kind of weapon you are trying to craft.
For example:
If crafting a Ringed blade, the smith must not hold one himself.

Have you tried putting a large back pack on him? I'm wondering if the script to have them store weapons in the back pack and then the weapon storage makes it seem to your guy that he doesn't have anywhere to put the finished weapon, just space in the inventory for what you want to craft might be needed.

Also have you imported your squad since the mini update? I had to do that for shirts to show up in shops and for traders to do what they were supposed to.

I just purchased a large backpack. Didn't help.

I'm relucant to import my squad, since that'll get rid of my town and all, won't it?

You can choose to import with your buildings and everything, or not.

I reimported, including my buildings.

Same problem now, still.
My guy can work on a bench with empty queue, no problem. But as soon as the queue contains any item, he stops working.

EDIT: Found out with some more experimenting that only SOME weapons are uncraftable. Was kinda hard to figure out because you have to reload every time you change the queue for it to take effect.

at the moment, interaction with the Weapon stands are bugged, so you have to move the item, that you just crafted manually to the weapon stand, and then he will go back to crafting. i just keep they guy making the weapons inventory empty.

I seem to be unable to craft ANY ringed weapon.

Clubs work, but ringed sabres just... don't.


Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Move all the weapons, out for your inventory of the guy your having craft the weapons. see if that helps. in conjunction with a Large backpack, and what weapon research do you have, maybe you need a new bench that uses steel.

I played a bit and tried to recreate your problem and my crafting guy got stuck trying to put the weapons into the weapon storage so i emptied his inventory completely (not the stuff he has equipped just the storage) via having one of my other guys loot him and then he seemed to work fine and i've a que of ten running at one time.

For me it's really weird, I think I figured it out:

I am unable to craft the type of weapon the smith has equipped.

Everything else works as intended, including bringing stuff to the weapons rack.

oh really? i haven't gotten them to successfully bring stuff to the weapon rack yet, they Get stuck in a loop of trying to put the weapon in the weapon rack.
