Refrigerator bugged ?????
Seems like i have a serious bug with the refrigerator, yesterday i put nearly 800 raw meat in it and when i came online today (8 hours later) 700 of em were spoiled. The refrigerator is powered and everything seems to be fine, the time on every meat also says that they will spoil in 15+ hours, but every time when i come back to the refrige more and more meat is spoiled. Any ideas what the problem could be ?

1 hour ago i also put 90 grilled meat in it, 4 of them were also spoiled, even when the timer said it will spoil in more than a day (!!!)

Server restarts can do that, there's a number of reports on it.

You probably mean TheIsland. Yeah then no idea what could be causing it except a bug or the generator not being always on.

The server usually restarts on 5 am, im playing on a nitrado Server, my biggest issue is that the 2nd refrigerator is filled with fish and some kibble, there everything works fine, both refrigerator are connected with the same generator

I hoped someone else had the same issue and it probably was a server setting that needed to be changed, but seems like its a strange bug on my side so. Probably is important that the refrigerator is on a boat, maybe its a problem with platforms ????

There have been a few times recently where I open our fridge and see a lot more spoiled meat than I had thought should be there, but I just wrote it off, thinking I just hadn't noticed the spoiled meat piling up XD so its not just you :)

Im having the same issue while playing on SE, sometimes its just fine for days, then suddenly everything in my 10 fridges is gone/spoiled even when my electrical network is just fine.
I stopped saving berries at 2x weekends to be able to cook new dishes in the 2-3h i can play in the weekdays. This means id have to do that at the weekend too, what cuts time for farming and taming.

A other bug related to the windmills is that sometimes my windmill just stopps electrifying my electrical network for no reason. Its still turning the blades, but its not providing any electricity. I can only fix that by demolishing it and placing a new one.
The effect is the same with the fridge bug: everything is gone.

I dont use fridges atm except for eggs, dishes and jerky, because it makes no sense for me :(

Same here

thx for the answers, so its not a problem with my server but a bug with the game itself. I just put up the setting that all kind of stuff spoils 5 times later since it would be the same when i could use my refrigerator correctly. hopefullly they will fix their stuff soon.

Wind turbines don't provide power all the time, just because they are turning doesn't mean they are providing power, it should but it doesn't. you have to look at the wind zone you are in, if you are in a 20% zone then the turbine will only provide power 20% of the time even if it is turning 60% of the time, this becomes a major problem on the Island as they have not put in the feature to show you what wind zone you are in.

@OP I have never run into this bug, but I have never built a fridge on a raft, but I will tell you that I had a server on nitrado and their servers always seem to have more bugs than most servers do, I was able to load a backup on a local machine and could not duplicate the bugs I was getting on theirs.

Same bug here, spoiling times seems to be somehow randomly not working. When i make jerkies meat spoils before they are suposed to.

Also kibbles and jerkies on fridges lose time if I reset the timer mixing them with full-time/recently-crafted ones.

In both cases never happens when im looking at them, its always if i logoff or get out of rendering range.

I've seen this about 4 or 5 times in the past few months as well.

Out of 15 fridges or so, there were 2 or 3 that overnight spoiled way more than half of what was in them. The specific fridges seem to be repeat offenders, and the older ones.

It might solve to delete the fridge and set a new one.

If you would have read my post carefully you would have read that i can fix the turbine by placing a new one.
The new turbine starts to power my network IMMEDIATELY. If this would be because of wind percentage you could not just place a new one and it would work, since outage times are fixed.
Also its placed in an "unknown region" and those are known to give 24/7 electricity.

Not using windturbine, our refrigerators are on The Island, and some cuts off after server reset, and we get back to 500 spoiled meat instead of cooked.
