ToastyMcGee Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've noticed that, when I play DST, there is ALWAYS a random location in which cooked food spawns. How, you might ask? Well, very simple, actually! The food spawns when you harvest, in any way, whether it's picking it out of the ground or killing for it, it spawns in a random amount (around 4-8) in a certain location. You will know if you're close when you harvest a food item and you hear a 'whoosh' sound, as you would hear when you add something to a fire, like wood. For example, one time I killed a rabbit, harvested some berries, then a gobbler popped out. I proceeded to kill that gobbler and then picked a green mushroom for later. A bit later, I settle down by a forest, cook one bit of food, then I hear the whooshing sound 9 times in rapid succession. "There must be guardian pigs nearby," I thought, Once it was day, I ran to the direction which I heard the sound, only to find a heap of food stacked on top of each other. This occurrence happens in all the worlds I make, and is pretty amusing. What do you guys think of this?

Not_Wilson Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Sometimes I get this glitch too, and there will be a noise of a ghost moaning there. Sometimes a lone eyeplant sprouts and bites you but there's always dropped cook food at this random location. Always assumed to stay the hell away from it. or to mod in a cross so I may bless that cursed spot.

TemporaryMan Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Eyeplants too, huh? Sounds like it's at (0,0,0). Any object that loses its position data winds up there. Any script to spawn an object after a delay that loses the calling parent entity without cancelling the scheduled task won't have position data. I've seen pigs appear there after their houses were smashed.

PanAzej Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 This is true. Happened to me on rare occasions. I guess it's because when an item spawns it flies through the world to the player (that's just my theory... I don't have any other explanation for this) and sometimes it bugs out in some weird way and gets stuck in some weird place. For me the more common bug is when I craft a backpack while wearing another bodyslot item, the backpack won't appear for me. It will appear in some random place on the map though.

Mobbstar Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 As said before, this "random spot" is probably the center of the map. Any entity that has no position somehow but is still valid ends up there. For instance, eyeplants that can't be placed properly are still spawned, thus end up at (0/0). This even happens in singleplayer. I suppose when you cook food, it spawns a redundant copy, or alternatively eaten food doesn't get removed entirely. There's a wide array of possible causes.

Not just steaks, my dear friend; today, during my solo Woodie world, I got an egg from a Tallbird, then went to the magic food spot, and LO AND BEHOLD THERE WERE 5 COOKED TALLBIRD EGGS YEEEEEEE GIT FREE FOOD ALL DAY ALL NIGHT Also, those tallbird eggs I grabbed? Didn't even cook 'em; they are just sitting in my chest so I can be a bird mama. Also, I heard a TON of meteors (not the crashing sound, just the initial WOOSH sound) raining upon that spot, but nothing was there; only noise.

TheProtagonist Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 A friend and I received meat balls, saved us a few pieces of food. And man I thought it was a mod, but my friend did mention something of a "Food Rain". Then I stumbled upon this post.
