Tanning tub loaded on cart

Post by Thelcared »

Hello,
i think i found a couple bugs
1) When a tanning tub full with water and bark and a rabbit fur inside gets loaded on a cart, the timer of the fur to turn into leather jumps to 92% from whatever previous value (even from 1%) when the tanning tub is unloaded from the cart. (Couldn't try other furs)
2) Well just checked on the wiki, i see it's a known glitch, emerald dragonflies being able to be put on drying frame and disappearing :)

This isn't a bug. It was placed in the game intentionally to work around another bug that couldn't be tracked down at the time. I believe the bug has since be resolved, the this was never removed. (I could be wrong about the actual bug being fixed.) If people don't believe me, they can go dig the thread up where it was first introduced. (Hint: look through loftar's posts, maybe Jorb's.)

My impression was that the bug of tanning tubs not running while that area of the world was unloaded was deemed unfixable. Or, at the very least, that this "bug" was far more convenient than fixing it would ever be (likely it would increase load on the server or some such if it's forcing all areas to be loaded and running).

Has anyone experienced bugs within the first "bug"?
I've had tanning tubs stay on 92% for several hours, go from 92 to 95 and then back to 92, hides disappearing (Not sure if it was a thief, but only 1 hide disappeared.) and some other odd stuff. Some serious inception stuff right there.
Then again I haven't played since W4 and had to make a new account due to forgetting info on the first one, I assume things have changed since then, but are the things I've experienced normal in this world?

If you bug the tubs, you generally need to leave a character within viewing distance of them or the freeze.

Doesn't matter one way or the other. The problem is with the way the tubs are unloaded along with the map. When that happens, progress is reset. The bug is that the progress should, in theory, keep going, however, it didn't and went back to 0. To fix it, loftar just set it so they automatically go to 92% so people could get leather without babysitting it for X hours. That means you can load tubs onto carts and when you pull them off, the system just sets it to 92%. If you wander off and the map unloads, guess what? Yeah, the tub got unloaded and reset back to 92%.

Nontheless, if you keep a character near, they don't bug and keep on till the leather is tanned.
