hey there @DukDuk4,

is this something that stays on save/load? if so, could you upload your save,

To upload a save, locate the folder in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth\saved_games` (assuming a default Steam install), zip the individual save’s folder (not the entire `saved_games` folder), and upload it. If the `*.zip` is less than 10 MB, feel free to upload it directly to the Discourse. If larger, please upload it to a cloud storage site like Dropbox, Google Drive, File Dropper, etc. and post the sharing link here.

thanks 🙂

I’m having a similar issue with my Blacksmith. He seems to have just…stopped? I’ve tried saving and reloading, clearing his queue and restarting, different recipes, moving the anvil and forge, moving the crates with the ingredients… I can’t think of anything else to try. He’s just idle, even though the craft menu says “crafting…”

Help please? \>.\<

I’ve uploaded my save to OneDrive: [https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ar70yxFAcXvHh2Ipgd9YGcje6tdC](https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ar70yxFAcXvHh2Ipgd9YGcje6tdC)

Different enough at this point to start a new thread, I think.

Saving and reloading did not help, but he started working again after i tried a few different recipes. I don’t how but it got fixed.

@DukDuk4, there are several possible reasons why he was stuck. For example, someone else might have stolen the next ingredient he was going to pick up, or he couldn’t reach some of the ingredients or the workbench. You might have deleted an order that was stuck and he wanted to finish it first (that’s a bug that’s currently prioritized in our list).
