I think our slime incubator somehow turned into a slime press

[PennyPickels]

the slime incubator that came with the slime hutch somehow turned from an incubator to a slime press. my fellow players only had slime eggs on them from Marlon. and one went and put a slime egg into the incubator and while it was processing another player somehow put an egg in the incubator and it changed from an incubator to a slime press. Don't know how it happened. seems like a glitch. We have no way of making new slime incubators yet since we aren't high enough combat yet. Is there any way to fix this?

That's an odd one. If you haven't saved more than once since this happened, the host should be able to roll back to the previous day to undo it.

Otherwise, the CJB Item Spawner mod could be used to spawn a new one.

can't redo the day since this happened a while ago and we were trying different things like putting a heater in the building and wondering if they could only spawn in a new season since this is the first time i've played and had a slime hutch.
Is the spawner thing for respawing the whole building? cause this is the incubator that came with the building. so i can not move the (now) slime press because it's originally the structure that came with the building.

Just curious, but how the heck is that even possible?! Granted, I've never played this game in multiplayer as I only play single player, but normally, when a slime egg is being hatched in an incubator, you can't put another one in until it's done. Sounds like a weird server issue to me.

I am just as nonplussed as you are, this is my first time playing the game this far. I have no idea why or how this happened. I am not kidding when i tell you that one of my fellow players placed a slime egg in the incubator. and when the other one went in to put their's in it changed to a slime egg press and consumed both of their slime eggs. but now no one can use the press either.

Have you tried pickaxing it? That's how you pick up furnaces and such, even if they're working. Maybe that'll fix it?

That doesn't work for the slime incubator inside the slime hutch. Unfortunately, this would also mean the same applies to the egg press that replaced their incubator. Which would most likely mean it's stuck there permanently...

Hmmm... If it never gets fixed, once you unlock fairy dust? fairy powder? whatever it's called, you could try using that on the machine? It makes furnaces and such finish whatever they're doing immediately.

this was the first thing i tried but it treated the slime press like it wasn't something i could pickaxe. so no sound or shaking animation cause this machine came with the building but as an incubator

honestly, cause it seems pretty permanent- atm i'm just trying to level up my combat quickly so that i can make an incubator but i think one of the items in the recipe for the slime incubator is something hard to get. I don't remember what it was off the top of my head though.

i mean, it's probably worth trying. i just wonder if it's been stuck on "incubation animation" while it's a slime press and just keeps moving like it's processing something and is just stuck on it? idk

Even if a slime egg is not being "processed" in the incubator inside the slime hutch, hitting it with a pickaxe or whatever does nothing - you can't move or remove it whatsoever.

That item in question is two iridium bars. Good luck getting those!

because everyone avoided the question, and this problem really crys that it is your culprit: did you use mods?

i have mods available but none of them were used on this game. and i didn't have mods when i started the game ages ago. My friends and I have been playing this for months and hadn't seen any big problems aside from a disconnect or two after i downloaded mods for stardew to use on a different game another friend hosted.

lol XD thanks. I'm pretty sure i'll be well over the level to craft an incubator before i have 2 iridium bars

so you real answer is: YES you do.
its every time astounding how every mod user trys to wiggle around that fact with "i used it so long and nothing happend, so it cant be that" or "i have mods, but they shoudend be active, ignore the fact they are still installed and linger in my game folder, ready to passivly break my game by changeing my games script during there first installation, or at least be present as missreadable data in the folder"
when noonee else encounters your problem before in years, and you use mods than it IS the mods what cause your problesm in 99,99999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the cases.
