Passion Industry: Resource Failures (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Sometimes you click and it works as intended.
How to fix it
Log out and log back in
When a resource (e.g., film‑rack, underwear barrel, red sofa) consumes energy and a worker but does nothing, the quickest way to recover the worker is to exit the game completely and then re‑enter. This often resets the stalled process.Avoid using regular‑game resources while an event is active
The problem tends to reappear during timed events (such as the Rave event). If you can, pause your normal production and focus only on the event tasks, or wait until the event ends before using the problematic machines.Click the resource again only after a short pause
Occasionally the same click will succeed after a brief wait. If the first attempt consumes energy with no result, give it a few seconds and try again; sometimes the action will complete correctly.
If it still doesn't work
- Keep a note of the exact resource, the amount of energy spent, and the time it happened.
- Report the details to the developers through the official bug‑report channels.
- Continue playing other parts of the game that are not affected, and wait for an official fix in a future update.
What players reported
One negative review by a user named "grimbaldi" states it well... "...at least on a PC, it will randomly fail in an odd way. You click on a resource, the energy is spent, but nothing happens. The resource will 'advance' but any reward will not be given. If it's the last evolution, it just vanishes. Quite frustrating!" It would be one thing if it just failed. But spending other currencies like…
What players suggest
No. Things like the racks that produce film pieces, or the 'barrels' that produce underwear. You click on it and it is a crapshoot if it is going to work or not. Sometimes you click and it works as intended. Other times it deducts the energy, uses the worker, and does nothing. In order to get the worker back you have to either log out then log in again or move to whichever of the two events is…
And now that the Rave event has started, the issue has returned. I lost about 65 energy from this bug in just a couple of minutes. It seems the best solution currently is to not play the regular game while the events are occurring.
I assigned a worker to the red sofa. The worker works, but the process doesn't progress. The assign button remains, the timer doesn't count down, and there's no way to complete it.
