What the panel tells you

Every message Fleshy shows, what it means, and what to do about it.

Messages

message	meaning
`Ready to bake (N vertices)`	Set up. Press Bake This Frame or Bake.
`Baked frame N in … s: M vertices in contact`	The bake worked; M says how much of the mesh is pressed.
`… Nothing touches here: add what presses on it under Colliders`	Nothing presses on the mesh at this frame. If something should (a hand, a chair), add it under Colliders. Its own parts pressing together are found without that.
`Baked: 1-24` ✓	Those frames are baked with the current settings, and play.
`Out of date: 1-24, baked with other settings. Bake again to update`	A setting changed since those frames were baked. Bake again, or press Use Baked Settings and they play again.
`Playing the baked frames (1-24, 40)`	Working normally. The frames listed are the ones in the cache.
`Baking Body: 5 of 24 frames done`	A bake is running, in the box at the bottom of the viewport. Cancel or Esc to stop it.
`Stop the bake? The 5 frames done are kept`	You pressed Cancel or Esc. Stop Baking keeps the frames done; Keep Baking, or Esc again, carries on.
`… Stopped before its last frame`	A bake you stopped. The frames done are saved; bake again for the rest.
`No baked frames found at <path>. Bake to make them`	The cache file is not where the file says: deleted or moved. Bake again, or put the cache file next to the `.blend` and open it again.
`Frame N is not baked`	Nothing baked here, so it renders undeformed. Press Bake This Frame, or bake a range that includes it.
`Live: frame N is outside the frame range, so it is not deformed`	Live mode with Every Frame off, on a frame none of the ranges holds. Add a range, or tick Every Frame.
`Hidden or simplified in the viewport. Renders are up to date: nothing to bake`	Expected once you hide Fleshy in the viewport (step 5 of Your first shot). Nothing to do.
`Out of date: … Bake again to update`	Something in When to bake again changed; the message names it. This frame is switched off until you bake it again.
`Out of date: the pose at frame N changed after it was baked …`	The animation was edited at this frame after baking. Bake it again.
`Out of date: a collider (…) moved after frame N was baked …`	A collider was moved or re-animated after baking. Bake again the frames it names.
`Out of date: a collider (…) changed after frame N was baked …`	A collider's modifiers or subdivision changed, or an object was added to or removed from a collider collection.
`Out of date: frame N was baked at another subdivision level …`	You baked at another subdivision level since, and went back. Bake any frame at this level and the frames already baked here play again.
`… is turned off in the viewport …`	A collider is disabled in viewports, or its collection is excluded, so its place is unknown. Show it, and hide it with the eye instead.
`Cannot put the settings back: <name>, which they used, is gone …`	Use Baked Settings needs a collider or mesh that has been deleted. Nothing was changed. Bake again.
`Cannot put the settings back: something else they were baked with has changed too …`	Besides this panel's settings, something they used changed elsewhere, such as a set-up collider's own Firmness. Nothing was changed. Bake again, or put that back by hand.
`Cannot bake: part of Fleshy is missing. Install it again`	Part of the add-on did not load. Frames already baked still play; you cannot bake new ones until you install it again.
`Click one in the list to see its settings`	Nothing is selected that the panel can show. Click an object in the list.
`Select a mesh to start: the character's body, not its rig`	Nothing is set up yet and the selected object is not a mesh.
`Nothing set up yet. Press Set Up below to start`	No mesh here has the deformer yet. Press Set Up in the Object section.

The list's rows

Each row of the object list says one of these:

row	meaning
`24 frames` ✓	That many frames are baked with the current settings.
`24 frames, 10 out of date` ✓	Some frames were baked with other settings. They are kept, but only the 24 play.
`out of date` ⚠	Every baked frame was made with other settings. Bake again, or press Use Baked Settings.
`24 frames` ⚠	The frame you are on is refused. The message box below the buttons says why.
`not baked`	Nothing baked yet.
`unreadable` ⚠	The cache file is damaged or is not a cache.

A row notices a settings change straight away, and an edited mesh, modifier or pose when you next change frame.
