Switch v1.6.15 build 11 blue grass starter glitch [crafting bug]

[Anekora]

I was having issues with my Horse Flute randomly disappearing. I did some troubleshooting to figure out why since I couldn’t find any known bugs that applied to my circumstances.

After some digging, I have found that when the Horse Flute is in my inventory and I open the Crafting Menu, the Horse Flute is identifying as different objects as “being available” for crafting recipes. Thus, the game is using the Horse Flute as a craftable item / resource by mistake.

So far, I have found the below items are being counted as “in my inventory” when actually the game is counting the Horse Flute in their stead.

- Furnace
- Worm Bin
- All Jelly types (Cave, Sea, & River)
- Moss
- Mystic Syrup

Restarting my day / the game has not helped, so it seems to be ongoing and I did not figure out what sparked the bug to occur.

Hi, when I try crafting blue grass it automatically pick horse flute as a material. After crafting one I cannot craft any more of the blue grass jet my materials are being used. :(

So I was trying to make the blue grass starter and when I went to craft it, it used up my energy tonic item and my horse flute. I also found that it would use up a regular grass starter if I tried to craft the blue grass starter with one in my inventory

I had the same issue. It ended up using my healing items

after today's switch update (ver. 1.6.15.11), crafting at the workbench has been an issue for me. i was crafting a few mushroom logs which only required 10 hardwood and 10 moss and noticed 1) my horse flute would get used as a crafting material and 2) other items will go missing from their chests after crafting. items that are currently missing and that i definitely know i've had hundreds of and have not taken out of their chests include white algae, green algae, seaweed, moss, river jelly, sea jelly, and cave jelly. whenever i go back to the workbench, it shows that i can still craft multiple items with these materials despite them not being in their respective chests and that i still have hundreds available for use.

my only work around for the horse flute has been keeping it out of my inventory and placing it in a chest not surrounded by the workbench. unfortunately i noticed too late that other materials were missing and have progressed to the next day so i couldn't reset the day to circumvent the issue. for the time being, i'm just going to take the exact materials out to craft something instead of using the workbench just so it doesn't take anything else from my chests.

I am having the exact same problem! On the switch and it was updated today, my horse flute is being used as craftable (mystic syrup in my case) but also my warp totems are being eaten up if I try to make items. Mine isn’t just the crafting bench it’s holding items in the backpack as well

When I go to the crafting table, it thinks I have a different number of resources than I do. See photo examples - it thinks I have 300 furnaces available when I have none, or 303 mystic syrup when I have 7.

When I went to craft treasure totems, it crafted a few, then only had one in my pocket. I put that totem in a chest to try and craft another, and when I went back into the chest it was gone.

My horse flute also disappeared when I crafted something - had to restart the day to get it back

Think the use of the horse flute happened to me as well, but I only realized it much later and the game was saved :( I could make only one blue grass starter, and my flute disappeared. I looked in all chests and barns and nothing… and I play with the switch as well.

I have the same problem! Sadly no solution so far

 

[Snildo1]

This just happend to me as well, I crafted a blue grass starter and it took my horse flute and 4 pressure nozzles. :<

 

[Calysto]

it also seems to consume regular grass starter. it also says i have more mystic syrup for the recipe than i actually have when i hover over to craft it

 

[roadkillcircus]

i don’t think it’s consumed any rare items of mine but it’s only letting me make one blue grass starter at a time despite using up the resources, i didn’t notice until i used about 15 starters worth of fiber :/

it was also showing incorrect amounts of mystic syrup, i only had maybe 15 and it was saying 400+

So that's what happened to my horse flute! I was trying to figure out where it went and why my blue grass starter wasn't crafting. Has anyone figured out how to work around this? Has there been a bug fix yet?

I tried to make like 12 blue grass starters and like y'all it not only consumed resources the count never went up, I was looking for my fairy box and it also got consumed somehow. It's gone, i've looked everywhere, every chest, very place where you can store something and it's nowhere to be found. None of these were an issue a few days ago. I play on the switch so 100% vanilla.

 

[inkyfarmer]

It's the combination of the crafting table and the mystic syrup. Something in the update is making mystic syrup improperly consume *everything* else but mystic syrup. I lost my entire artifacts chest and 2 horse flutes. I just tested it though...I looked at the mystic syrup count before I put a bone flute back in my artifacts chest and the mystic syrup count went up by 1. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

 

[pinkpiranhaplant]

this happened to me too! i crafted three blue grass starters and only one appeared in my inventory. i thought that was super weird. I didn’t realize until the next in game day that my horse flute and my farm warp totems were missing. i’ve checked every single mini fridge and chest on my farm as well as the lost and found and neither have turned up.

i came to the conclusion after reading this thread that the game must have used the flute and warp totems up for the blue grass recipe, but it also didn’t even make the item at all so i have no clue what happened. but i am super sad that it seems i will need to repurchase the horse flute now :/

 

[iasbrasil]

I also just realized that it used ALL my totens (farm, beach, mountain, rain, etc…) and my fairy dust. it was a huge resource loss, and honestly, it really dispirited me about the game, especially knowing that there is no way of recovering everything :/

I ran into this same problem. When I viewed the blue grass in the crafting menu it said I had enough to make 26, I just held down the button until it was done and I only had one on my inventory.
I thought I'd found a bug with my crafting table with incorrectly consuming items/disappearing things so I haven't been using it. I had all the fiber, moss, and mystic syrup in my backpack/inventory and crafted from the crafting menu. It consumed everything in the right amount but only one grass was left

I created an account just so I could reply to this topic. Have already restarted my day 5 times (one in a diferent day) because of this bug.

Thankfully I noticed the bug before saving (it consumed my Omni Geodes, the newly created blue grass starters and, weirdly enough, it completely emptied one of the chests around the workbench).

I’ve tried crafting the blue grass starter away from the bench and it consumed my coffee and itself.

I only play Stardew on my Switch Lite and, since the 1.6 update, it has been increasinly stressful to play because of the framerate drops, eventual freezing and now, this weird bug

This is my favorite game, but I’m upset with its Switch version as of late

Edit: I’ve tried crafting 30+ blue grass starters as well as just 1 or 2. The bug is always there.

I have found a blue grass bug where every time I craft blue grass, it only crafts 1 at a time but still takes the materials away if you try and craft more than one. Also, every time I collect a battery from the power posts, it replaces my horse whistle.
