Are you starting in a season other than Spring?

[Greiger]

I actually have the problem too.  I started in spring, though it started happening in summer.  The bug has been around for so long I'm starting to think we just gotta live with it.  Either nobody wants to fix it or it's cause is so obscure and convoluted that nobody can.

[Tnx]

How do I get cooking skill to level 1 if I don't have frying pan/pot etc?

[Greiger]

I think you can make meat skewers by applying a knife to wood.  Should be able to cook meat with those.

[Tnx]

Ah nice, thank you Greiger.  One more question.  I keep getting messages of "Suddenly you're covered in ectoplasm", the wiki has no info on this.

It started happening in summer, after I had to strip naked for the 107 degree weather (lol. That barely happens farther south, let alone with the coast mitigating temperature. But anomalies... I guess), so I guess that's a thing. I would be less frustrated if it didn't seem to purely make cooking a food spoilage process with no indication of rot on the same uncooked food.

Are you hallucinating? Messed with Shiny Fun Stuff lately? Does it actually affect your stats in any way? Stabbed any strange blobby monsters lately?

You've got teleglow, either from an artifact, teleporting, or an eye. It should wear off on it's own eventually.

It's more that there's enough bugs and other personal projects/improvements that everyone is always doing something. If a bug never catches the eye of a dev, and it's a fairly harmless bug such as that one, it can go for a long time without being fixed. That said I've added it to my list at least, so it should get fixed eventually once I get through the stuff in front of it.

Yeah the high/low temperatures seem to be revealing some weird interactions with the rot functions. It's on my list now, though somebody else might get to it first.

As for the temperatures themselves, the problem seems to be mainly caused by use of the record high/low temperatures as the defining numbers for the scale rather then the averages. Now that we've got an idea of what the problem is, it hopefully shouldn't be too much longer to iron out the problems and get it fixed.

You have teleglow, a hidden disease. It goes away on its own, and there's little you can do about it.

FAKE EDIT: Ninja'd.

[Tnx]

Ah yeah, I had a weird floating eye monster that did glare attacks on me.  Thanks again for the quick answers.

Just curious, is the rotting time decrease a linear function of temperature?

[Darkmere]

Just spent a couple real-life hours fortifying, sorting, packing, and moving into a new base inside an apartment complex.

Immediate crash upon completion.

Lost everything, back in the colossal unsorted piles I had to start.

There's two hours gone forever. QQ and all.

[Kaitol]

And thats why you turn on autosave and backup your world folder whenever you get done doing something you don't want to redo.

[Tnx]

What's a simple, quiet vehicle I can obtain early on in the game and where would I find one?  I was thinking maybe a bicycle?  Also do public works buildings make good bases?

Solar powered car that's missing a battery. Easy to fix, almost silent.

Pretty sure it's something like that, yeah, which is why we've been having some problems with really cold temperatures making foods "unrot".
