Chemistry Bench Not Working
Not sure why, but as of two game patches ago my SS and normal Chemistry Benches no longer function. They say they are powered, but there is no option to turn them off and back on, and they do not allow me to craft anything.

Has anyone else had this problem and know of a solution?

Pick them up and put them down again.
This is 101 troubleshooting for modded structures.

This, normally fixes the issue you're referring to.

Also remember that this mod is not yet updated for Gen2, so dont expect it to recognise new resources or recipes for the next couple months.

Did that. Also constructed new ones.

I wouldn't have asked if it was something that simple. :) I have also tried reinstalling the mod.

I've worked in tech support long enough to know never to assume that users have tried/tested anything unless they explicitly say so ;-)

I've just tested on my cluster and was able to craft multiple recipes without issues.

Are you sure you've learned the required engrams? We had a forced mind wipe with the Gen2 patches that came down a couple days ago.

A couple months ago Vanilla changes started showing engrams in crafting benches even if they were not yet learned. But with a yellowish background to them.

"tried reinstalling the mod". What exactly did you do to do this.
Did you confirm the mod files were removed from the game files when you unsubscribed?
Did you delete the mod files from the steam workshop cache?
Both of those steps need to be performed to properly reinstall any ark mods.

Though I am suspecting the former re engrams at this point.

I am running this on the Island server at the moment, and this problem occurred before the Gen 2 release, so I'm pretty sure that's not it. I have also used a mindwipe potion since then.

I unsubscribed from the mod, and deleted *all* of the mods in the mod directory. I forgot about the workshop cache though, so I'll try that. Thanks.

Any Gasoline in there ?

Yup. Tried clearing the cache, also did not work.

Reinstalled all of my mods, adding them back and installing them one at a time instead of en masse, and now it works. *goes in search of the "I Believe!" button*
