ALT-TAB DUPLICATION BUG

[Johnman]

.....or glitch, not bug.

Still available in multiplayer game, in my opinion one of the worst of the duplivcation bugs was not addressed. Possibly not one of the most well know glitches but once discovered the easiest to do and the easiest to get huge boost in materials thherfore cheating your way through multiplayer servers.

How it's done:

Put any item in forge or campfire, while the campfire or forge iss open, ALT-TAB out of game.

Give it about 5mins

Come back to game, start removing your items from forge or campfire.

You'll fnd that the proper amount is not the result, you'll instead get "Literally" 100's of the items.

For example in the forge you should get 10 iron ingots from 64 scrap metal. My using this glitch or exploit the same action using Alt-tab will give you possibly close to 400 iron ingots. Addtionally if you remove the wood from the fire you can also duplicate it. I had 9 wood stumps in the fire whil alt-tabbed and then came back in and remove thhe wood and receiveed approximately 100 stumps.

You see, as you remove the 'completed items' from the forge or campfire it duplicates the item over and over. I think (although I have no 'real' idea) that this is due to the server pausing or not properly syncing wiht your client. You remove the item from the finished spot and it just puts another item over and over until the servver cathces up wiht your client.

This exploit is probbably one of the most significant I've seen. I mean before if you could duplicate agun or pickaxe many times sure it was pretty bad. But now withh a bug likee this a peerson could literallly geet 1000's of Iron ingots or whatevver you really want to buid whatever you want. Pretty significant annd need to be given immmediate attention to next patch.

Please.
