The cauldron in Schedule I is supposed to be your go-to tool for cooking up the perfect blend, but for some players, it’s been more of a decorative piece than a functional one. Whether refusing to let you mix, disappearing entirely, or acting plain weird, this bug has been frustrating players looking to whip up their best recipes. So, is there a fix yet, or are we all just staring at an empty pot? Read till the end to find out.
The cauldron bug in Schedule I can be a real headache for players trying to keep their production running smoothly. Sometimes, chemists will start using the cauldron, add ingredients, and then suddenly stop, leaving the cauldron stuck and unusable. When this happens, players are unable to interact with it, effectively halting progress. If you too are encountering the same, consider reading this guide until the end for workarounds.
Schedule I Cauldron Bug: Is there any fix yet
As of now, there’s no official fix for this issue, and with so many players encountering the same problem, it’s clear the bug needs attention. Until the developers roll out a proper solution, the best we can do is try some of the community-suggested workarounds that might just get things moving again.
Relogging
If you find that one or more of your cauldrons are bugged and unresponsive, try relogging into the game. Many players have reported that simply exiting and re-entering their session can reset the cauldrons, making them usable again. It’s not a guaranteed fix, but it’s a quick and easy first step to try.
Save and reload
A simple workaround that might get things running smoothly again is to try saving your game, exiting to the main menu, and then reloading your save. This process seems to reset the cauldrons, making them functional again without losing any of your progress. It’s not an official fix, but it’s a quick and easy trick that has worked for many players.
Reassign Chemist
Another potential fix that has worked for some players is to unassign the chemist from their station, save your game, and then reload it. Once back in, reassign the chemist to the cauldron, and it should start functioning properly again. This workaround helps reset the interaction and might save you from the frustration of an unusable cauldron.
Manage Chemists
Make sure each chemist is not assigned to multiple cauldrons. Players have found that spreading out tasks helps keep things running smoothly. For example, if you have three cauldrons and three ovens, avoid having one chemist handle more than one cauldron at a time. Instead, distribute the workload so that no single worker is overwhelmed. This method has kept things bug-free for several in-game days, making it a solid fix to try.
Skate Fix
A surprisingly unconventional workaround for the cauldron bug is to launch yourself at the stuck chemist using a skateboard. While it’s not a full fix, it can get them moving again without having to relog. Some players have reported that doing this twice a day keeps their workers from getting stuck, and bizarrely, it even unlocked their cauldron. It might not make sense, but if it works, it works!
Assign all cauldrons
Another reliable fix so far is to make sure that each cauldron has a dedicated worker assigned to it at all times. If you have three cauldrons, make sure to assign three separate workers, one for each cauldron. This seems to prevent the issue where cauldrons become unusable after a worker stops interacting with them.
Don’t Start Together
The cauldrons tend to bug out if all workers start using them simultaneously. To prevent this, try a staggered approach. Before ending the in-game day, remove the gas from the cauldrons. Then, when starting a new day, refill them one by one, waiting about 1-2 real-life minutes between each refill. This method helps keep the cauldrons from bugging out.
Space out
With cauldrons bugging out, spacing them apart might be the solution. For some reason, when cauldrons are placed too close together, one may stop working. To temporarily fix the issue so you can move them, save, and fully quit the game. When you log back in, the cauldron should be functional again, allowing you to reposition it with more space to prevent further bugs.
And those are all the potential workarounds that we have for now, which are likely to unfreeze the cauldrons in the game. We hope this was helpful.
