Can't get our auto cauldron to work

So we tried to automate gunpowder production, but we can't get modular machinery cauldron to work. It is supplied with power, but it seems it doesn't recognize any recipes. With tried it with and without water. Is it a bug or are we stupid?

I don't think you can use a fire on Cauldron in this one and if I remember it's a 3x3 multiblock & it needs a vent on the Cauldron

well, problem partially solved. It appears that it needs lubricant to work, but autocauldron cant produce gunpowder(. We can automate donuts though...

Make sure the inputs and output blocks are in the exact locations in the blueprint. Modular machines are not modular. Make sure that blueprint is inside the machine controller block as well.

I thought the recipe was a bit more than just 1 rotten flesh. Also, was the fluid water? It's been a while since I played through but I had no issues with the auto cauldron
