Skillet and pot disappearing?

[Dirty Rotten Flieger]

My precious skillet and pot were not in my inventory. I assumed I must have forgotten to pick them up and even though I back tracked couldn't find them. I found another pair of skillet and pot and the same thing happened. they are just not in my inventory. I back tracked but they are not at the previous camp fire either. I'm really starting to think they disappeared. Has anybody else had this happen?

I just realized I was using the Wheel RIm Grill in Zone of Contamination when I lost all four cooking pots and skillets. This bug really hurts my play through. now I can't cook the best food.

The same same rim grill has bugged other players apparently.

tested it with a can. Left the can on the grill and went into a build which loaded. exited and the can was gone even though the fire was still alight.

I think I recognize that location among the Indolent Hoppers. On the far side from the rim grill, beyond the pallet, there should be a work bench, if I am right.

I only play Pilgrim but there was no rim grill in my run in that building, if I got the right place, at that spot. There was no fire barrel or rim grill in the building so I had to put down a campfire which I put next to the work bench.

You might be running afoul of a glitch in the way the game sets up the area. In your game the rim grill might be visible but in reality it is not supposed to be there. So anything you leave on the rim grill will despawn with the area when you go far enough away and not spawn back when you return to the area though the rim grill will spawn. Screwy no?!?

In Broken Railroad I had a table top of cooked meat, neatly arranged, in the Maintenance Yard outer office (this was a while ago too and things have changed probably) when I stepped into the shed and came back out the table top was empty. No sign of the cooked meat.

I did some experiments and discovered that when I step out of the shed, I could catch momentary glimpse of a metal container on the table but it would immediately disappear. There had been no metal container on the table to begin with when I was at the Maintenance Office so I had to repeat the action several times before I could be sure I saw what I saw and was able to get a screen shot of it.

I suspected and reported that fact. The world spawns when I enter it from the shed and the default condition was a metal container on the table but then the game updates to how MY game should look and the container disappeared (in this case taking the cooked meat with it). I am probably lucky I didn't put something like my rifle or hatchet and knife on the table and have this happen. I never did get the cooked meat back.

I think it was patched to not happen but maybe somewhere the patch got unpatched in some runs.

Just as a thought, the location of the rim grill in the picture does not look to me as a logical or reasonable place for a rim grill. A fire barrel, perhaps, but not a rim grill.

Yep, that's the location Indolent Hoppers. I'm glad I know where the glitch is now. I found another set of cooking pot and skillet but I had to trudge for hours through the snow to get them. Lucky I like trudging through the snow eh.

FYI I stumbled on the same bug at the very same location. There is definitely a black hole on this rim grill. Cost is 2 precious skillets for me. How is it possible to ask for this to be fixed ??

Sorry bro. I bet it has happened to quite a few of us. I was hoping they would find this thread. Maybe there is a discord for Hinterland that they use more often?

They do not have a discord- and TLD discords are unofficial channels. They have online forums where they are more active: https://hinterlandforums.com/forums/, and they do not take bug reports from the forums, here or there. They have a zendesk sit where you can file a bug report: https://hinterlandgames.zendesk.com/ which is linked in the Pinned "How To Get Technical Support or Report a Bug" thread on the main page of this subforum.

Just ran into this in Sundered Pass rim grill. Thankfully not run killing, probably.

Was it a rim grill in Sundered Pass?
