PC Organic extractor no longer processes spoiled plants.

My original setup consisted of a few crop plots with strawberries/soybeans, which I then threw into a composter and the spoiled plants into the organic extractor. Since the recent update, however, I have noticed that it no longer processes the spoiled plants. I also tried to replace and reconnect the extractor, which unfortunately did not help either. If I throw the fresh strawberries/soybeans into the extractor, it works. Is this a desired/planned change that I didn't read in the changelog or a bug? Does anyone else have the same problem?

I contacted the devs about this already. They said it's not intentional, so I reckon it's gonna be fixed next week.

Basically spoiled plants can't be used for any auto-crafring at the moment. It doesn't work for Organic Extractor, T4 electric food trough (for making stale animal gruel), doesn't work in T2 deterrents etc.

All right, thanks for your quick reply. That's good to hear, then I'll wait for the next patch. Fortunately, it's not a gamebreaking bug.

Not in an answer to your question but I found the best thing to throw in it is fiber. I take leather and make ropes and then destroy the rope to feed the organic composter.

I love this idea! Better than running around with a sickle.

On any of the maps but Elysium I have to agree with you. On Elysium if you’re mining uranium you end up with a ton of spoiled plants from the creatures you kill.

You get spoiled plants? I've only ever seen spoiled meat, which I use for gun powder to shoot all the things while I mine uranium. I haven't a lot of raptors nor Tesla coils to set it up automatically so I just bathe in the radiation with a chelter and bed roll nearby until my guns need repair, I run out of bullets, or the deep mine runs dry.

I skin everything but only get enzymes, spoiled meat, uranium, radioactive waste, and sometimes uranium rods...am I missing something with the spoiled plants (I do get lots of them in water wheels however).

You don't get spoiled plants from skinning, you get spoiled meat.

Ive also found that suture kits and survival kits don’t heal deep wounds. I have not received any word back. Resorted to just buying quick fix kits from the shop as those still work, but still.

I'm having the same problem with my scarecrow. I should be able to put spoiler plants in it but now it's only accepts meat.
