Hello my friend, I'm still not able to use this item, Still says "awaiting materials" and this is on a fresh install and playthrough. I've had 3 survivors and 6 bots handle it only for there not to have any materials added to it, I looked through my mods but I guess to an untrained eye I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Maybe I'll deactivate all mods and add them back one by one and see what one conflicts with it

I don't understand either, I'll uninstall again now the other mod is removed and will try again.

If it's not any of the things I already mentioned, I'm at a loss as to what your problem could be.

I just verified in my own game again, both the wood and metal version of this are working flawlessly for all of the different recipes. It could be a conflict with another mod if they use any of the same ID's as what I used in this mod. For items or recipes, though that doesn't seem all that likely.

Yeah that was the first thing i did and also turned it off and on again, tried a normal rack to make sure something wasn't broken but they accepted the raw smokeleaf no problem, also used the Stranded X version and that worked too, doubt the mods are conflicting?All seems standalone

Did you try building a new one after disabling that other mod? It may have left remnants of its behaviour behind.

Materials are still not being added to the drier? had 5 people/bot go to it and still says "Awaiting materials"

Now my next question, any chance you could do the same for the large drier? I need somewhere cool to stop all my leather and raw smokeaf from rotting. towards end game, I'm losing thousands due to rotting. I tried to make a refrigerated storage for those items and just can't make it work and I think it's above my pay grade

Thanks again, your are a rockstar

@delboyspencer, no worries. I don't consider it a waste of time to help someone troubleshoot, even if it's not my fault. I fully understand the frustration of being a gamer trying to sort out the cause of an issue and am happy to help when I am able.

Yes it was that mod thanks for your time and help and sorry to have wasted your time with a problem that wasn't your mod, I should have known it wasn't your mod because I use many of yours and they all work flawlessly

So it could possibly be this mod then "No Idle Power Consumption"?
I turned it of and on again and still didn't work, I will now uninstall that mod mentioned and see what happens but now I know why things were not working and I would move them back and forth to get them working again, lol didn't think to try and turn them off and on....It's why you are the brains of the operation

The mod causes the same issue with the vanilla game electric stoves every now and again. Often you can resolve it by Turning it "off" then back "On". I don't know if that works for the electric drying rack or not though, as I stopped using that mod before I made this one. I got tired of needing to turn my stoves on and off to get them to work.

where it says "Consuming: 0/5", that indicated it is not powered. Power line may be running to it, but it's not getting any power.

I'm going to guess that you are using the mod that disables device power when devices are not in use. That mod is what is causing your issue.

Another pic showing i have plenty of power too

I just moved it closer to a powerline and had my survivor interact with it and still the same result.

Picture of it wired https://imgur.com/a/zMtkuEz

It is powered and i have power lines near it

Nevermind, I can see in the last screenshot that you do not have it powered.

That's your problem. It's an "Electric" drying rack. It needs to be powered to function.

Do you have it connected to electricity? I do not see a power line running to it.

Hi, I downloaded this last night so it should be up to date and yes I have 1460 Smokeleaf

2 pictures of the bot going to and from the dryer and a pic of the dryer still requiring mats after the visit.

My mod version is V.1.03-031, I will unsubscribe and resubscribe and see if that might fix it

I've also tried to right click when having a survivor selected and still no resources

Do you have the required materials in the quantity the recipe requires in storage that is accessible?

Also, make sure you have the latest version.

The previous version used crafting skill for loading it, which means service bots wouldn't do it. I changed that in the last update. The mod should show version 1.3 when you look in your mod manager in the game. If it's lower than that, it could explain what you are seeing.

Sometimes Steam doesn't properly update workshop items unless you unsubscribe than resubscribe. This is a Steam issue, but it happens to me with Stranded mods in particular quite often.

I'm trying it now and it's constantly saying awaiting for materials even though I'v just seen 3 service bots with the "Handling Electric Dryer" sign above their heads go there and also 3 survivors and it still says waiting materials

Gonna give it another try on a new playthrough ans see what happens, will report back

The only other thing I can think of is if you are using area flags and don't have the rack in the same work area assignment as survivors. I doubt that's it though, seeing as you said you are right clicking and when you use work areas the right click would give you the option to re-assign to the right work area.

Then there may be something else limiting their access to that resource, such as you have it in a regular drying rack which isn't set to allow resource retrieval.

Also, it will only dry one recipe at a time, so if something else is already drying it isn't going to get to the smokeleaf until that one is complete.

I did just that and no resources were put in, the raw smokeleaf was always at zero

This doesn't work like the normal drying racks, @delboyspencer, it uses recipes. You have to setup the recipes for what you want dryed, and you need to configure them for how many times (or make until). Just like using a workbench or tailor bench.

Doesn't seem to take materials so they can dry. I've even ordered my survivor to add materials by right clicking on the rack and they don't seem to add anything, also any chance you could do the large version to? Also was trying myself to no avail, was looking to make a freezer type crafting materials storage because the likes of Smokeleaf and Leather rot at an alarming rate. Thanks
