Disappearing Cooking Pot?

[Nodak81]

I keep having my cooking pot spontaneously disappear from the fire pit whenever I leave base for a while and then return. As I'm writing this I'm not sure if the pot has a durability stat, but twice it's disappeared when I hadn't even used it once. I'm guessing I need to start removing it and storing it every single time I use it. Extremely annoying.

Hello, the pot has a service life.

Pots do wear out but they also just disappear for no good reason sometimes. So does food on the campfire/cooking station. Definitely a bug. .. Yes, the best solution is to sore it in a chest after use.

I hope the things degrading so quickly phenomenon is removed. Scum had the same thing where bottles would degrade pretty quickly, and some other things did that also. If not removed as a feature, I hope it is really toned down. Haven't lost a pot yet but i'm sure its coming.

I think the problem is that the durability bar doesn't work. Mine have never gone down at all when I use it and then it just disappears and takes what I'm cooking with it.

Now I have seen this bug. Also I have seen the pot duplicate itself after I take one off the campfire, I turned around and there was another one there.

Just now I hung up 12 pieces of deer meat in 3 smokers. I turned around to get charcoal and when I turned back around all 3 smokers had 1 piece of fully smoked jerky in them and that is all.

@ Tenzen: I've had the duplicating pot bug as well. It seems as though I lose a few and I gain a few. I'd say that overall the score is pretty even. If anything I'm probably in front by one or two :)

Okay, thanks guys. I mainly just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. lol

I figured it has a finite lifespan but like I said, a couple of times I had just started a game and hadn't even used it to cook anything yet and it disappeared, so it couldn't be wearing out.

Hopefully keeping a storage trunk next to the fire, and keeping the pot in there when not in use will avoid the issue. I do hope they nerf or outright remove durability from some items like the pot and water bottles. The stone axe also wears out way too quickly.

I have had the cooking pot disappear multiple times. Always after loading the game.

+1, same here after loading.

Experienced this multiple times. So what I did is just take it off the campfire after using it. Hopefully it gets fixed though

I did have that bug before, but in my current game started after the last update I have had campfires all over the place on the map and havent seen one go poof yet. Might be fixed, maybe.

It as actually been relatively bug free, besides some minor stuff like campfire animation after fire should be out.

lost my new pot after using it once, Seems some type of recipes will make the pot self delete as well as letting food expire inside the pot. Both the pot and the food vanish. Mixing herbs , mushroom and potatoes made mine vanish in a new game.

Yeah it's not a durability issue. Although cooking pots do display a durability they don't actually take any wear from cooking. The vanishing pot has been a problem since day 1 and they are still trying to track it down ... I have lost quite a few pots to the disappearing pot monster :(

i built the campfire, inserted the cooking pot, ran to the nearby shore, filled a bottle, ran back to the campfire, pot had disappeared. this has nothing to do with durability... Definitely a bug
