The Cauldron bug in Schedule 1 usually happens when you start assigning multiple workers to it. When a chemist drops items in it and starts cooking, they suddenly stop doing anything. The workers might stand still and not do anything, making your cauldron completely useless while the bug is active.

This is why you should avoid overpopulating your workstations with workers. If possible, have each worker assigned to one or two workstations only. Additionally, make sure they have enough space to move around. Don’t let them get stuck in an area that is blocked by another furniture or a workstation.
