I went to take the finished jars from the dehydrator and they changed back into ocean forage.

Reproduction Steps: Just go take finished jars out of the dehydrator; I had dehydrated them the previous night and I went to take the finished ones in the morning but it changed back into ocean forage! Clip is attached.
Repro rate: First time this has ever happened

This has happened two more times since I last posted. Once was overnight, the other time was dehydrating during the day as per normal.

I have had this happen to me a number of times as well. It's not EVERY time, but it does happen frequently

Hello @scenic fjord @white coral May I ask if the issue still persists in your game? Thank you!

I haven't had it happen over the past few days!

void bolt Hello <@699916930898985021> <@841848642063302667> May I ask if the issue still ...

I'm logging in now, and I'll update soon! I did have it happen yesterday, and I've found that it happens most frequently in the mornings if it is the first thing I do when I go outside. However, if I do everything else first (crops, animals, etc) and THEN check the dehydrators (it's usually after 7am by that point), it does not happen.

ETA: See my additional update below.

Update: I have just played through two days and I have not had the problem with the dehydrator! Yay!

I think I see two threads about the same issue, and I'm not sure which is the "main" thread, but since the other one has a title focused on PS5, I'll add my information here since I've encountered this bug on Steam.

Reproduction Steps: Putting forage/scavangeables into the dehydrator in the evening and checking the machine in the morning. The machine will show as finished, but after removing one dried product, the others will revert to the original state (but with the status bar showing partial drying progress).
I have tested: spending the day before partially underwater; spending the day before entirely on land; using only 1 item type (although mixed qualities); using a combination of item types; putting in items after 1am and sleeping; putting in items between 10pm and 11pm and sleeping; checking the machine immediately in the morning; going into other buildings in the morning before checking the machine; and comparing with setting the forage into the dehydrator 2 hours before a festival and checking the same night in case the time warp would do anything (in this case, it did not).

Repro Rate: seems to be consistently every time I fill the dehydrator before bed and check in the morning. If I ignore the exclamation mark for a few hours of the game-day and instead go to empty the dehydrator in the afternoon, everything will be successfully dried.

This is a clip from a few days ago, but I have been doing additional experiments with the bug today and it remains in the game.

And this is my most recent save file.

Hello! I am on Steam as well. I have played around with it some more and here is what I have deduced: If I put the forage into the dehydrator right before bed (say, midnight) and I wake up at 6am, only 6 hours has passed, but the dehydrator is showing that the items are done. It is my understanding that 10 hours must pass before the items have finished dehydrating. I have a video for reference. In this video I put the items in at 00:30 (not shown) and then went to bed. When I woke up, it showed they were finished, but after taking the first jar out, it goes back to in-progress.

Hi just wanted to let you know I am having the same issue. I did the most recent update before playing today too. Also playing on steam. Let me know if there is anything else you might need for info.

I've had this issue as well, on steam. I find when I leave the dehydrator for a second and then finish throwing things in, the glitch usually occurs. Taking the first item resets all the other finished items back into partially processed forage.

I have a similar visual bug but "reversed", I (P2) check the dehydrator to get the items that i have left for longer then required, items have finished but the timer wheel is stuck at 100% and still showing the input item, but when i take them out i get the processed item
-# (will record and send a video later today when i get home)
