Game crash when dehydrator finishes dehydrating

Had an inconsistent crash when trying out the dehydrator. First batch of food (mushroom wrap) caused a crash. Next time i tried with surf and turf it worked fine. Then mushroom wraps worked too but it crashed with pepper bread.

It might possibly be caused by dupes delivering partial portions of the food. For the first run they delivered 5 different mushroom wraps warying in weight possibly with different spoilage progress and some spiced and some not.

It crashed at the moment it finished it automated part.

Steps to Reproduce

Build a dehydrator and supply it with multiple small portions of food.
Make sure portions vary in spoilage.
Add spices to some of the portions but not all.
Game should crash when the machine finishes the automated part (before the dupe comes to empty it).

I'm getting the same problem repeatedly in my current playthrough.  Built a dehydrator.  Queued up endless packaged surf n' turf and will frequently crash to desktop when a black hole eats my game.  Some of them will run and dehydrate, but sometimes it crashes completely on completion.

Happening to me as well. Definitely has to do with small portions of food specifically. Whenever my Dupes finishing eating, they leave behind 0kcal of the food item on the ground. If that ever gets recycled back into the dehydrator... it crashes.

Looks like you hit the nail on the head there.  And that was the clue I needed to figure out a workaround for this bug until Klei comes out with a hotfix.

Folks, if you use Sanchozz's No Manual Deliver mod, you can stop Duplicants from delivering 0kcal food to the Dehydrator.  Instead, if you have the Range or a Refrigerator nearby, an Autosweeper will make the delivery instead.
