Unable to collect Barn leavings after barn redesign, auto-devices disappeared

[full wedge]

Reproduction Steps: whenever my barn animal products should be available to collect, nothing is there. My auto-collector and auto-petter disappeared after I had the barn redesigned, and crafting new ones has not fixed the issue. Logging off and logging on does not bring the items back, and continuing through the days does not either. I put the auto-collector away to see if it would prompt me to collect and it still does not, even though it shows the sheep and llamas as sheared.
Repro Rate: every in-game day (for at least two in game days now)
Game Platform: Steam - PC
Game Version: Version v1.1b-1232
Input Mode: Keyboard and mouse

Hi hi @full wedge! Thank you for sharing this with us and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. The team is also aware of this issue and actively working on the fix!

Hopefully, it will be fixed soon. Thank you so much! 🙌

Understood! Is it safe to keep playing in the interim, or should I hold off?

Hello, after today's update, is this supposed to be resolved? I logged in and my animals were shorn and gathered from without me doing anything but the collector is still empty. Is there something I need to do to reset, or continue to stand by for a fix?

Hi @full wedge. I’m part of the team too—so sorry the fix caused your animal products to go missing from the auto collector! 🙏

We’ve seen similar reports after the hotfix, and you can check them out here: https://discord.com/channels/623097219628662784/1338181869988221060. The team is already looking into it and working on a fix. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding!

the autocollector is there, it's that it's still auto-collecting my animals but not leaving the items. Is that still going to be tracked where you're linking?

The barn animals are a pretty significant part of my gameplay, so I paused playing while this has been being worked on. I really don't want to start a new game, given this is the one brought over from pre-release and I've worked very hard on it.

Yes, the issue reported in that thread is that the auto collector is visible but not collecting any animal products daily and the team is already investigating it

We totally get how frustrating it is to start over because of this bug, especially after all the progress you’ve made! 🥲
We’re really hoping this gets fixed soon so you can continue your journey without any setbacks. Thanks for hanging in there!
