Can’t craft certain items after changing character

Can you describe step by step what you're doing? I tried based on your description but couldn't reproduce the problem.

 

Here's what I did:

- Start as Wickerbottom. Build science machine, alchemy engine, celestial portal.

- Build potter's wheel and cartographer's desk, but don't place either.

- Use celestial portal to change to Wigfrid

- Try to place previously built items, potter's wheel and cartographer's desk.

- The structures seemed to place properly

It seems like you did it correctly. I start as wickerbottom, premade the structures but didn’t place them and switched to wigfrid. When I switched I lost all my known recipes and had to go to the alchemy to relearn some items. But when I go to learn the prebuilt structures and try to place it down it just refunds my materials and doesn’t place the item.

If it's something ongoing in that save file, ie. if it continues to happen every time you load the save, then could you upload it here for me to take a look? It might give me a lead.
