Where's my cake?

[chronometrics]

I got 3 packs of flour, 3 bars of chocolate and 3 things of honey, put them in the oven in the celebration bunker, and nothing. No cake in my inventory, no little gold trophy, nothing. Any ideas?

I got a cake do you still have the other stuff?

[BrewMasterJack]

The cake is a lie. Oh, sorry, wrong game. Glitch? I just did the recipe and got the cake.

Did you convert the wheat to flour first and the cocoa to chocolate? You don't actually put them anywhere, just have them in your inventory and then click on the cake at the workbench in the bunker.

Wait, is there a gold trophy? I didn't get one either...

As a warning.. I tend to deconstruct Lockers etc after looting them.. I also did this in the secret base- no problem. I then decided I needed one locker to store the ingredients as they are collected (aiming for the Cake straight away) so created a locker by the cooker and stored overnight 6 of each of the starting ingredients. Logged on this morning and the Locker has vanished... so starting again- keeping the ingredients at Home Base.

I wanted to collect the dishes of candy, the 2 silver rockets and some balloons.

Everyone want's a Hugo award, sadly you will have to become a ground braking best selling Sic-Fi Author in the RW if you want one.

You can just build a mini base near it. I have a locker for each item plus one for honey, water and the super food. The honey, water and super food are being delivered by drone. I just camp there and farm away. It all fits nicely in a 4x4 pod with 2 farm plots on foundations.

Cookies disappear wherever we leave them if we don't eat them right away.
I wanted to celebrate my 1000 hours in the game as well, but...
I've been farming wheat and cocoa beans all night.
I baked a cake - it's impossible to eat it :(
I baked a cookie - it disappeared from the cupboard :(
I don't want to make a croissant anymore, I'll eat some worms.
Thanks for the treat.

In truth, Brice works for Sentinel Corp. And they are evil. Won't let us have any of the shiny stuff.

I was surprised that I wasn't able to grab even one of the rockets. Was also looking for the honey but, the RNGesus hates me in every game I play.

Make sure you are not storing anything in the bunker. Put them in your base. I put the cake, a cookie, and a croissant on a trophy case in my base and they are still there. The bunker is temporary and will leave, so really don't try to store anything there. I know it is a bit bugged as I removed the lockers and they returned. It probably restores it and removes whatever additions you made when you save and exit. Build a room outside it and put lockers in there if you'd like.

The cookie disappeared left outside the bunker.
It's just wasted a few hours, no big deal.
I know the bunker is temporary and corrected, I noticed that.

Just a few surprises lately.
Some had their bases built in the zeolite cave, previously at the waterfall. You need to warn about such things in advance. Otherwise, it's a roller coaster for your own money because we don't know what to expect and we don't want to waste time to be disappointed later. Now, for example, I also noticed that the textures load much worse and only from very close. I have the impression that a few months ago the game was more reliable in operation. But it's EA, we'll see what happens next. Maybe I'll play another 1000 hours until full release, maybe not. Because the game has recently turned into a grind generator, I miss exploration and novelty a bit. I don't mean novelties that make it easier to generate larger numbers. The game attracted me with its diversity of the world, beautiful lands, exploration and survival. I'm starting to miss it now. Because only numbers matter. It's going to be hard to do another 1,000 hours in the next six months.
