Camp Donation Bug

[Grandpa]

I got my first gold bar and decided to donate it to the camp for upgrades. Something happened that has happened before but I didn't notice until now. Instead of donating one item, all my valuables vanished at once and none of them added to the pot. I'm still early game so that 300$ dollars disappearing hurt me deep... I'd kill for a load feature to fix bugs like this. Or other accidental large purchases.

inb4: just beat the game and get thousands of dollars so money is irrelevant

Well, 1200+ hours for me with about 8 playthroughs to Chapter 3, and i've never seen this one, or any other bugs that even come close to this significance.

Hopefully you have a previous save you can revert to, becuz i agree that's pretty bad.

I have successfully donated all sorts of "items" to the "contributions" box, including Gold Bars ($500), but i don't think i have ever donated a Gold Ingot ($300).

I was just doing another side thing where i found a gold ingot (followed sketched "map" in Roanoke Ridge), and the quest walkthrough did say Gold Ingot activities can be buggy - maybe this is another example? :/

Dont donate gold bars to a book. Sell it to either the Fence.
early into chapter 2 tyou should come across a fence called Seamus in Emerald Ranch and this man will buy the goods of Arthur.

I always use Gold Bars - at least the ones at:
Sherriff's Office/Train Derailment
To upgrade Pearson/Camp at the start of Chapter 2, so I won't have to wait for The Fence to open later in the Chapter.

I can usually scrape together enough cash to get a Varmint Rifle, Springfield and Cattleman w/upgrades, but the camp is more money than I can muster that early. By the time I get The Fence Unlocked - the Satchel is already done and I'm working on Challenges.

(Chapter 2 is my favorite Chapter - I do lots of stuff from Horseshoe Overlook)

When you 'Donate' - don't 'Donate All' - or that's likely what will happen.

Also - learn to create a Manual Save - OFTEN.
Reloading one of those is way better than most anything 'Autosave' can do.

I have the same issue… Same with horses…. It’s so annoying. Idk if you’re also a PC gamer and that could be a specific problem with that. But kinda like the recommendation above. I just save now before donations or selling horses. And click instead of the button, which helps a little… not entirely. And just selling to fences instead.
