This morning, about 8:00, I found Zucker crafting a wooden bookshelf. I already have it, but of course he was going to give it to me anyway. However, my pockets were full, so he told me to come back. I went and sold some stuff and did a couple of other things, then went back to his house about 8:15. He was no longer in his house. Okay. I didn't care, but weird.

I got on again about 12:15 to see if anyone was crafting, and Zucker was back to crafting the wooden bookshelf. He gave me the card I couldn't take earlier, and I thought that was it. I did quit the game to try to reset the crafting, but it didn't help. I just got on again, about 1:20 my time, and he is still crafting the wooden bookshelf!

Anybody seen this or have some ideas I can try to get him to stop? I don't time travel, but I thought of going back a day and then return to today to see if that would do it.
 
I know that having a full inventory does sort of "lock" a villager into crafting. I'm guessing it's a fail-safe to prevent, say, having a full inventory and being unable to get the DIY, going to clear your inventory, but then coming back to find that the villager has stopped crafting. I know that some people who let visitors get DIYs use this to keep a villager crafting for longer if the DIY is sought after.

I don't have any concrete advice, but since villagers craft for ~3 hours or so, maybe it's possible that the timer didn't restart until you picked up the DIY? So I'd maybe wait until like 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. to see if it shifts then?

That's a good idea. I'll check then. Thanks!
 
When a villager is crafting during the morning they don't stop at 12:00. They continue until early afternoon 😋
 
Did you TT at all? This happened to me once with Freya. I had TT'd within the same day and I thought it was because of that.

She stopped the next morning.
 
If he got the wooden bookshelf from IKEA or Amazon I'm not surprised it's taking him so long, the instructions are rediculously complicated

I checked at 1:20 and he was still crafting.
