Exploit: Unlimited Nutrient Paste #3

Open XenoTheStrange opened 4 months ago

XenoTheStrange commented 4 months ago

Issue: the value of "Nutrient paste meals stored in network" does not decrease / update while the game is paused, so an infinite amount can be dispensed and the network will only be considered empty upon unpausing. One can also dispense more than the network holds while unpaused if they click rapidly as the value still doesn't update immediately.

Video: Example.mp4

The example of spamming free nutrient paste while paused is at 0:13 if you're super duper impatient.

Also, by forcing nutrient paste onto a hopper you can convert it to a vegetarian meal. Paste meals normally aren't allowed onto hoppers so it must be forced by dropping the meal from inventory when the only empty space nearby is on a hopper. This isn't possible in vanilla since you can't pick up paste meals at all, which is dumb, nor could you dispense them at will. Example video: Converting nutrient paste.mp4

This is more of a thing that hoppers could be used for... it seems to be patched out in 1.5, as I used to do it a ton in 1.4 using one of the methods below. I'd just pause and hold down the draft hotkey 😆
