I believe I used to avoid this by moving the items from the oven to the floor first before placing them in my inventory. Might have changed.

When you move from the oven to inventory they disapare right away. If you put them on the floor and then to the inventory then they stay. But the bug remains the same. I am not sure is it just over some time or is it dictance or some combination of the 2 but the fod will be back in the oven in the uncooked form.

hi is this bug only in hydro or is it in vanilla too with some recipes?

and if its just with hydro, maybe theres a way to pinpoint which ingredients are always present
like is it just dishes using the Baking Tray
or Roasting tin etc

Only with hydrocraft. From what I have noticed everything that uses items for cooking from that mod. I do mean kichen items not food. Cooking pot frying pan and other vanila are always ok. But when I try to make corn bread, or some cookies or dryed friut it duplicates. But I didn't really test everything. Duplicating food did discurage me from trying some recepies.

oh ok, thanks for the info.
hmmm, i dont remember seeing a duplication (and i ran around like crazy trying to make as much Mash Potato flour, and dried fruit lol before the food went bad :)
(i did often get the vanishing if picked up while red hot though..

have you tried letting the oven and item go cold, and then pick up to inventory
i guess if a bug it can hopefully be fixed in an upcoming ppatch, but if you try the above, maybe that can help.

also, what happens if you pick up directly, it vanishes, and then when it appears in the oven, what if you try cooking it again, and then drag to floor (or drag to inventory) does the duplicated item still dupe or does something else happen?
(there is also a necroforge mod which you might be able to use to zap any dupes if they appear - that way you wont be cheating.. .just eating

Np. Wait. Are you in a position to fix that? So far it seamed like I was talking just to a fellow survivor and not someone in a position to help with it :)

Nope. Didn't think of that. I do get the vanishing part as well but as I did say insted of picking it on you, you could just drag it from the oven to the ground and then pick it up and it is always ok. So once I learned that the vanishing bug was never a big deal for me. I will try to let it cool next time I play.

Yes if I pick up directly it vanishes. After that as I did say it will return to the oven after some time. Not sure is it only time related or distance or some combination of the two. It is in uncooked form once it respawns and I can cook it again and depends if I pick it up after cooking it vanishes if I drag it to the ground it is ok.

Not sure what do you mean by zap? :) Well I don't really cheat. I feed that food to the dead zombies. With that bug sometimes I go hunting for zombies so I have a place to put that food.

I did also notice one more things. I did once get dry fruit to duplicate like that over and over until I made corn bread and than it started to duplicate insted of dry friut. But with dry frieut I stated with apple slices and later even added grapes to get raisins. They did combine in respawn. The first didn't go away like with corn bread only added the next item. And over did have like 23/19 weight in it each time it they respawned.

I do hope you are able to understand me. I do apologize for my english it is not my native language :)

im a fellow survivor (but thanks for the friend up) :)
zap just means to delete or remove or destroy an item
