Care package Duplication Bug

After some testing with the bug, if the care package is apparently left to sit for long enough it won't duplicate again. Apparently the bug can only happen within a few seconds window of the care package spawning.

I assume it always requires you save/reload between when you select the package, and when it opens? Have you tried doing this with several different types of packages? This is definitely alarming.  A poor soul who things, "Wow, I get 8 fish" suddenly ends up with 32....    Thanks for reporting. I'll play with it as well, and see if we can draw attention to this one.  

Sounds like another victim of the "save/reload" feature. 

I had originally not tested it with other packages (mainly because I didn't want to end up with a bunch of stuff), but I forgot that this game had a save as feature and I've been testing the bug out and it works with any package. Basically with enough patience a player could have infinite of anything the care packages spawn.

I recently found this. The bug was reported back in May. 

It's still there.  It works with any item.  The time window for the bug to happen is between when the item spawns into the world, and the care package despawns.  If you are playing on speed 1 setting, it is really easy to make this happen consistently. I spawned in 42 shove vole eggs before I stopped and decided to try and spawn in duplicants in the same way.  No luck. Seems only items can be duplicated.
