Alchemist Laboratory is not producing potions

[Neverywhere]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues.

Are you using the latest MineColonies Version?

• I am running the latest beta/release version of MineColonies for my Minecraft version.
  I am also running the latest versions of other mods that are part of my problem.

Did you check on the Wiki? or ask on Discord?

• I checked the MineColonies Wiki and made sure my issue is not covered there. Or I was sent from discord to open an issue here.

What were you playing at the time? Were you able to reproduce it in both settings?

Current Behavior

No potions are brewed by the Enchanter.

Teaching a potion to an Alchemist in an Alchemist Laboratory, requesting this potion through a Postbox, does not yield a potion.
A video has been made to recreate the steps, showing two Alchemists being taught a different recipe (Awkward potion + Potion of Weakness), each with their own Postbox hung above their hut blocks. This video was made to show the original method, during which I gave them about a week of in-game time to craft these potions.
The job of creating a potion was noticed in the Alchemist Laboratory hut block under Jobs, but when checking further with the Alchemist themselves, they had no open requests, and did not move towards making any potion.

Expected Behavior

The Alchemist spurs into action with a dramatical flourish, realizing he is needed. By the mayor, no less!
Valiantly, he braves the task he had no choice but to accept, brewing a single Potion of Weakness or Awkward Potion, whichever I've requested, and has it delivered to the Postbox by a courier (he can't be expected to deliver things, can he?).

Reproduction Steps

1. Teach a recipe to an Alchemist at an Alchemist Laboratory
2. Request said potion
3. Wait until it's patched 😃

Anything else?

Such a fun mod, I can't wait to have the poor, poor colonists slave away at making endless amounts of potions...

(You mean Alchemist tower ;))

Have you given them blaze powder to use the brewing stand? Cos you can see them both go off and start working, but you never show the blaze powder, and if they don't have that they can't brew the potions =)

Gosh darn, I didn't mean to close this ticket, my bad. Please re-open (I do not have sufficient permissions to do so)

(You mean Alchemist tower ;))

Dang! I actually mean Alchemist Laboratory 🤣
I edited the main post to reflect the actual correct names for the building/colonist.

Have you given them blaze powder to use the brewing stand?

Yes. Each Brewing Stand has 7 blaze powder in it. I gave each Alchemist half a stack of Blaze Powder just now, and after a few minutes they still have the 32 in their inventory.

Cos you can see them both go off and start working, but you never show the blaze powder, and if they don't have that they can't brew the potions =)

But then where is their request for Blaze Powder? 😢 none in their open requests, none in the clipboard... how are we to know what colonists need if they don't ask?

Any other details I can provide, please let me know! ♥

[Neverywhere]

The video where I double-check the availability of Blaze Powder in the brewing stands has been uploaded (although I didn't check their own racks, which contains more).

[Neverywhere]

A new video was made to show that the Alchemist does seem to want to brew in this newest version (1.1.864-1.21.1-snapshot), but can't.

Let me know if more details are required! I feel like we're close! 😃

Is there anything in the brewing stands?

[Neverywhere]

There was a single water bottle in the brewing stand on the ground floor. Wasn't sure it was from this go around, so I removed it, removed the recipe, removed the Postbox request, and tried again.

He did indeed fill the ground floor brewing stand with 1 water bottle again, but no brewing ingredient.

(All 5 brewing stands have 7 blaze powder in them 👍)
