[Spoiler] Strange Capsule

Bloodless

Planter
I know these are not new. I currently have 3 of them. One that has already broken and two that have not. I really want to use the unbroken ones for decoration.

So my question is there a way for the strange capsule to be placed without breaking? I know they can be kept safe in their original state within chests. If one has already broken will the others I have still break? If you place them in a certain building like my house, would that work? I know I am already going to be disappointed by the answer, but please someone tell me my dream of using them for decoration has a chance or let me down gently.

It's not exactly an answer, but based on the code it suggests that the 3 day timer only starts counting down when the object is placed (i.e., `performDropDownAction`), so you can reset this limit by picking it up and dropping it back down every few days? I will definitely need to actually test this theory out to corroborate this finding; I have a lot of cloned Strange Capsule and Empty Capsule as well, so I don't mind taking the hit if it is wrong.

It won't work as a permanent decoration without some effort (I think), otherwise.

Has the three day rule changed in one of the recent updates? I got one on my newest farm (Huntress Farm) and it took nearly three seasons for it to break open. I never interacted with it.

This i can test out too but wont be able to for a bit longer yet still. Once I get started on decor work, i'll look into this properly and see what i can do with decorating it

PS4 or PC? Because if the former, I bet it may be some very obscure glitch haha. I haven't gotten around to this today yet, but once I do I'll let you know how it works on the Switch (maybe I can replicate your issue).

This shouldn't change, at least I didn't see the Wiki say anything, and they are hella good at updating!

PS4, so probably a very obscure glitch, then. I also got 299 trash and 999 silver quality lobster from a couple crab pots, so I think my game was having a glitchy few days. Fortunately, nothing serious. 🙂

The silver lobster sounds awesome! All that's happening to me over here on the Switch is crafted items randomly ~poofing~ into oblivion and entire seasons with no rain 😭

The silver lobster is just because they put a specific bait - quality bait - into the crab pots, it's a feature

Yeah that's a current glitch that happens because of the art of crabbing book. Basically the game attempts to duplicate what's inside the crab pot (as the book gives a chance at double items), but doesn't do that when the item enters your inventory but rather when you interact with the crab pot. So you can completely fill your inventory, attempt to interact with the crab pots a double dozen times and it'll spit out a stack of items. You can even only have 500 open space in your inventory and basically keep repeating the process with the same crab pot.

It will be patched in the next patch, as has already happened on pc

The silver quality is because I use quality bait. The insane number is because of a glitch. No rain for an entire season sounds awful. I hope that gets patched for you soon!

You know, I'd wondered if that had anything to do with The Art O'Crabbing. I checked and saw that was glitch others were experiencing, so I figured it would be patched sooner or later. Thanks!

From the code's perspective, the Capsule functions more like an Equipment (e.g., Cheese Press) than growing objects on the farm

i currently have a broken and unbroken capsules so i can test out if the unbroken ones will still break after three days if you'd like. Hoping they dont, after the first one has, but yeah. Have you checked into this or shall i?

my plan, i can place a broken one and an unbroken one side by side, wait three days and see if the other breaks or not. If not, ill wait a day or two more to be sure then go from there!

edit: added plan of approach

I haven't had a chance to play recently, so if you can get to it definitely do! I was going to test three things:
- That the Capsule does break in 3 days (to understand REtro's bug more)
- That the Capsule does not break on the 3rd day if it was picked up on the 2nd day and placed right back
- That the Capsule does not break on the 4th day if it was picked up on the 2nd day and only after returning (placing it back) it on the 3rd day
