Art crafting station "busy and can't talk right now"

[Soon]

I've noticed this happen a few times during the last few days. After opening and closing an art crafting station, the crafting dialogue window doesn't pop up. Instead, I get a combat log message saying "This object is busy right now and can't talk" or something similar. It doesn't seem to affect all stations at once. If I switch towns I can use their art station just fine. Resting or relogging doesn't seem to work.

The fixture bugs out. Use -pickup and put it back down (if possible) and it should work.

I believe this occurs when someone is using the object and then disconnects while still 'talking' to the object, but don't quote me on that one though.

Happened to me as well. It seems to affect also some other crafting stations like alchemy tables.

edit: one of the affected crafting stations yesterday, the one in Skaljard Trade Post, cannot be picked up with -pickup_fixture.

I can add some info to this. I have accidentally broken crafting stations to this state repeatedly. It happens when you have the crafting-stations inventory open and enter into another unrelated interface-dialogue.

Example Sequence:
1.) have the cooking station open with cloth, strideleaf, salt
2.) notice you do not have nuts in your inventory and use your herbalism-bag while the cooking-station inventory is still open
3.) herbalism-bag interface opens and you take out a few nuts - when the dialog pops up the cooking station-inventory closed (which should prompt the cooking-station-dialog but cannot)
4.) the cooking station is now "busy and can't talk" because it never managed to initiate dialog after the inventory was closed


Pickup_fixture, if it is a movable station does repair this as mentioned already.

Cheers, all -- I'll try picking it up next time one bugs out and see if that can fix it.

Working on fixing the source.

Just a quick update, I came across a broken art station and tried to pick it up to try and reset and I received the following error when standing right next to it.

-pickup_fixture: No matching fixture found nearby. You may need to get closer.

Tried twice getting even closer, still same error.

biggest issue seems to be cordor mechantile stations constantly having this happen

Was it a player-made fixture? The pickup trick only works if it's player-made, since the permanent fixtures can't be picked up.

Ah, this was in the skal bank area, so probably a permanent one then.

The on in Skaljard Trade Post cannot be picked.

Just go upstairs there and there should be another one that can be picked though.

50/50 shot. I know the forge in there is player made, as I've picked it up by mistake, but I think some are permanent.

I know that if you absent-mindedly open a container or other conversation with the crafting station conversation still open you'll bug out a crafting station, so it's best to avoid doing that if you can.

Fix is in the works.

[Soon]

Just tested it out after the fix, and it works! Thanks

Art crafting station by Chelyrra in the Hub (UD) is "busy and can not talk to you right now" :/

EDIT: Also the one in the Inner Hub, next to the entrance from the Hub.
