i can't craft anything that needs an alchemy engine even though im near one

Hi, thanks for the report.

Are you using any mods?

Also, could you go to "Options" in the main menu and then "Report Bug"? It'll upload your savefile to be looked at. Please mention your issue and what saveslot the game is in, to make it easier

Thanks!

I had a similar issue during the Hamlet beta. 

I figured for me it had to do with having the required resources to craft something in my backpack as opposed to my personal inventory. 

Same with the key to the city. The City Planning tab does not come up if you have the key in your backpack as opposed to the personal inventory.
