Your first check
Filling can no longer be stopped midway and a filling pot cannot be picked up. To turn a stove off, remove its pot first under the 15 October rules.
A non-interruptible fill is now expected behaviour
Wild Dog reworked filling at the Sink and 2-Burner Stove. The named vessels are Stockpots, Simmering Pots and the Rice Cooker inner pot. During filling, stopping halfway and picking up the vessel are no longer available. If an older clip shows an interruption, compare its version before diagnosing the current interaction as broken. Read the active prompt and wait for the action to complete instead of repeatedly attempting a pickup that the new rule disallows.
Separate water filling from heat control
The update also prevents switching off a stove while a pot remains on it and explicitly instructs players to remove the pot first. These are two connected kitchen actions, but a blocked pickup during filling and a blocked heat-off action should be recorded separately. Finish the current operation, follow the displayed handling prompt and then check the stove control after removal. This guide supplies no universal input binding for every device and does not import real-world stove controls into the game.
Prepare the next action before starting
For a calmer routine, decide where the vessel will go once the action finishes and keep the intended destination identifiable. That is workflow advice rather than a hidden requirement or tested speed trick. If the interaction remains blocked after filling ends and the pot is removed, record the equipment, vessel, offered prompt and exact sequence. Include whether another player was interacting with the same station. A useful report describes the state that contradicts the documented rule, rather than treating every wait as a crash.
Keep a useful comparison
Use this sheet while you check the problem. Tick a row when you have recorded an observation, even if its outcome is still unresolved. Downloading creates a local text snapshot; it does not save your game or send a report.
| Check | What to record | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Vessel | Stockpot, Simmering Pot or Rice Cooker inner pot | Record the actual item |
| Fill state | Action running or finished | Pickup is blocked during filling |
| Pot position | Still on stove or removed | Relevant to heat-off control |
| Prompt | Offered action after the transition | Do not guess a device binding |

Questions before you retry
Is it a bug that I cannot stop halfway?
The new notes explicitly remove that interruption.
Why will the stove not turn off with a pot on it?
The new rule requires removing the pot first.
Does this page give a cooking timer?
No. It describes interaction states, not measured cooking durations.
