No eggs in our world anymore

[greth666]

So, mod was working great for a bit, until it wasn't. logged in one day and something was causing insane server lag to where i could break blocks and drop blocks and items but was no longer able to pick anything up, and no animals were moving, they were all standing still in place. i looked at my console and noticed a lot of lines of code pertaining to this mod. so i went and deleted the mod, while it was cool it wasn't essential. logged back in, and the world worked right again! however, after a long time in game, i noticed none of my egg laying animals that were previously laying tons of eggs were laying anymore. they all say ready to lay pretty much all the time, but no eggs whatsoever.

I then tried reinstalling the mod only to have the same issue, dropped items aren't able to be picked up. I have....a lot of other mods installed so if you'd like me to list them i can...but it's going to be a while. i did just look at my console and noticed these lines:

i don't know if there's some way to fix this. it's either a broken world, or no eggs, and the idea of never having eggs in the game after putting so much work into raising chickens and building them a coop really bums me out. if there's some way to fix this....i would be eternally grateful

Thanks for the report. I am taking a short break from modding right now, but this is indeed something I should look at when I come back.

Oh and in the meantime, break the henboxes and replace them.

This base game issue will be fixed in Vintage Story 1.22.0-pre.4. Instead of filling your log, the game will display advice to break the henbox and replace it when you look at the info text.
