AHA yes it was a UI freeze! TYSM

Pretty sure? I've left it for in-game hours before and the only thing I got for it was 12 less firewood in my stockpile I can try it again just to rule out UI freeze though, didn't know that was happening

Yes, but it won't finish cooking, it just stays at that position indefinitely no matter how long I leave it. The arrow won't fill or move at all. It freezes once it reaches 200 degrees and it won't finish cooking.

Yes, I know that. I did that. It's a valid recipe, it just wont cook past 200

tried with 2, 3, and 4 pieces of meat, tried with 2 meat and 2 veg, tried with only one meat in all four slots and with stacks of six in each slot. made sure its the same number of ingredients in every slot. it shows as a valid recipe and it will start to heat but never gets past 200

Tried with both firewood and coal, neither get the food past 200 even when the heat itself is above 200

For some reason when I try to make red meat stew the cooking pot will not heat past 200 degrees. Veg stews work fine, the recipe shows as valid, but when i add red meat (I check to make sure it's not bushmeat) specifically the heat gets stuck at 200. Happens on both multiplayer and single player. It worked fine the first few days i played the game too. Anyone know what's going on? Is this a bug?
