Same problem here, sent ticket in a couple days ago, no response yet.
my book binder is stuck too! its been three days now
My bookbinder was stalled too. I had a collectible in mayors house i had forgotten about. I collected the collectible, refreshed the game and bookbinder started working again. I cleared cache during this process while game was refreshing.
You sir, you may be a genius. Turns out I had a skunk left in the collections. Once evicted from the Mayor's house and the client refreshed, the bookbinder seemed to be counting down normally. Guess we'll find out if it means it or is just teasing in about 23.5hrs.
CONFIRMED: Just got the tomb out of the bookbinder. Seems BB's coders don't know how to reuse code properly and the collections and bookbinders have a conflict.
I am just glad I am not the only one it is happening to!
I am just glad it is not happening to me.
If something can go wrong, it will.
How close is the Mayor's House to your bookbinder, and is it upwind of the bookbinder? Maybe your worker just abandoned the bookbinder due to the odor.
Btw, mine stalled too, but started counting after I opened the bookbinder. Glue buff kept going the whole time, though.
Spleeter...did Thambetochen's idea work?
I had the same problem and got the same response. I how ever have continued to make books and have been doing so for a week now. Its flawed logic on bbs part either i stop making books so it does not stall again (what kinda fix is that) or i keep making books and if it stalls i'm on my own. Well thats pretty much the same option, either way im not getting books. So i took a chance and continued making books. Even used a few glues since then with no problems.
