Getting Golems to function like they should

[HangingLotus]

What am i doing wrong here? ive got a clay golem with an alchemy core to help fill up warded jars. ive used the golem bell to tell it what to do and it just stands there like a lump. also the little jar it supposed to have does not show up and its arms clip into the side of the golem with the jar showing up after relogging. Help?

Ive never been able to get golems to function right.

Does the warded Jar have any essetia in it yet?

And is it a decanting golem or a alchemy golem?(IIRC those are very different)

 

[HangingLotus]

it is an alchemy golem and the jars have essentia in them. ive tried a decanting golem and ended up with the same result (the golem does nothing).

Hm, not sure then. I admit I haven't used golems in TC4.1 yet. IIRC I had little trouble getting them to move essentia back in TC4, but I always prestocked my jars and kept them well within their sight range(and linked them to both the jars I had on the alembics and the jars I wanted them to fill).

I havent had an issue with mine yet. Make sure when you put him down that you are clicking the alc furnace so hes "attached" to that. Then you need to use the golem bell to mark the jars he can fill. You only need to mark the jar at one end of a row as long as jars are placed next to each other he will "see" all the other jars in the row.

What @coolbrz said. Anytime you have an issue with a golem, try assigning it to it's goal with the golemancer's bell. That usually fixes the issue.

well coolbrz's insight solved the issue. apparently i was connecting the golem to the block i placed it on and NOT the alchemical furnace. i must have overlooked that in the thauminomicon lol.

It doesn't really state that clearly but all golems that are going to be tied to something rather have to be tied at placement or through a bell.
