I would like to "push" this thread again, because it is really an ugly bug.
OK, you can play the game, but all the work I've done right now is ... well...
We in Germany say "für die Katz'" or "für'n A....".
It is very annoying, especially since it worked not so long ago.

I ask for leniency for my "push".

Wreuntzylla · June 2018

I am now a pusher as well. I did not experience this bug until about a week or two ago, at which point I started moving my crafting stations farther apart. In some cases they are now apart by the distance of a craft station and it is still happening.

Basically, unless they have rights to move furnishings, the craft stations are unusable.

needs to be green when you place it

@stitchesofdooom
Yes, you are right, but I think we all know that.
But there is really a bug, when you place the tables on wooden floors:
When you leave your home and come back immediately you can not use the tables until you correct the position of one of them "to green".

Own quote:
"[...]Therefore, it recommended to place the tables on wooden floors, since they worked there in almost any orientation right away.[...]"
and
"[...]After that you could only use these tables again if you activated one (!) Of the tables with "F5" and set them down again.
Then suddenly all (!) Tables worked as if by magic.
Unfortunately, you have to do this every time you enter the home.[...]"

righto mate. So put em elsewhere?

6 out of 6 guild halls i know have had the issue where many of the hundreds of set stations are not interactable until the movement of any 1 item on the property as a temporary fix. Then instantly everything works for everyone. Including at my own guild house. And other guild members i know have the issue while owning the regular stations only at their houses. Planks or platforms of any type seem to increase the odds of this bug striking. Yet i have seen it first hand at the Craglorn cavern and Princely Dawnlight palace with hundreds of stations at those houses and no platforms used. The Craglorn cavern guild hall im referring to had all the stations on planks with no issue for many months above the ground height and over the water. The stations were moved to the natural flooring until the bug struck a few weeks later. Many of the stations not working until the temporary fix was done. That person moved all the stations to a new house and has them on natural flooring with little else done to the place and no issue since. that happened around 12 months a go. The choice of house the stations are placed at seems to have no affect. there is many threads about this topic. Many guilds i know are experiencing this issue still to this day. People have reported it to be happening on all platforms. Jewelry stations seem to be fine. as all my assistants and DPS dummies on the same flooring. I have had this issue not long after Summerset strike at a house that had no issue for almost 12 months. since then i have changed houses and had no bug until it struck again about 2 weeks later and has been like that ever since.

It's not just wooden floors. I have been using the ballroom pieces and they do the same thing. They worked fine until relatively recently.

Well, please read my first comment in this thread (#31, June 21)

"Anyway, I'm not the only one who has this bug to complain about.
But I'm obviously the one who's most affected by it:
I chose the Earthtear Cavern as a guild home and spared no expense or effort
cover much of the water surface with wooden floors.
On the wooden floors are pavilions, which should actually accommodate the set-tables (crafting stations)."

Alhatariel · July 2018

I have the same problem: after Sommerset came did I not spare money or time to make the Eart.Cave, which is our guildhouse, into a complete re-decoration completely into high elven style. I placed the alinor white floor over the entire cave which really makes a difference. But now all craftingstations, transmutate station and outfitstation dont work anymore. When I reset them , or replace them until they are green again it works for 5 minutes. I use the `Let there be Light` add-on and that is a nice away around the problem, but now all guildies that want to use the equipment in our guildhouse have to get me to our guildhouse to reset them to make them able to use the stations again. Very frustrating, this.
I am hoping for a quick fix for this.

I am getting this bug as well now. Have to reset my blacksmithing station every time I enter the house. Other stations work fine

I have to place my crafting stations on planks/boards because of this bug in Princely Dawnlight Palace where there is a false floor, causing objects to float. As such, I have to place them on elevated boards so they don't look like they're floating off the ground.

Screenshots of my crafting area:

Why I need the platforms (objects float off the floor if they aren't on a platform:

And yes, they need to be here as I need all my stations to be next to the house entrance. The whole point of a house is to be more convenient than towns.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

EDIT: I found a fix (sort of). CLIPPING the station slightly into the platform actually makes it usable...
