Antibiotic/Painkiller Condition Change When Looting

[lupineways]

I've noticed the condition of newly looted painkillers and antibiotics sometimes changes to match the condition of any of the same items currently in your inventory and stacks the items.

I don't have before and after screen shots because I would need to know when I am about to loot the item to get a before and after and that can only happen if I see the pills laying out in the open. I will look for an opportunity to do just that and try and get screens if that will help. I've only noticed this a few times and the first time or two I was thinking it was just a mistake in my recollection of the condition of the pills. I am not sure if this happens every time but I will do my best to capture screens.

Edit: Here are some screens. When I looted the painkillers I checked my inventory while i was still in the Coastal House I was looting and they appeared at 21% condition. But then when I went back to Quonset to store some booty I noticed they stacked and took on the condition of my other painkillers (72%).

Thanks for reporting this. We are investigating this issue further.

I noticed this too and did some tests:

The Painkillers and Antibiotics are picked up and put into inventory the way they are supposed to and only get stacked upon reload. As in resuming a save or entering/leaving a building or region.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Just managed to reproduce this in a new game:

Screen bevore leaving the trailer: directly after leaving: and Output log output_log.txt

It is also stacking differently.  In my most recent example the two old pills were at 8% and the six new ones were at 90%.  after reload all 8 are at 27%.  I had anticipated that they would be at 67% but evidently its not going with averages.

Hello, I'm having this same issue too with painkillers and antibiotics.
I also think this bug affects Cured Hide (the one you find 'ready' in the buildings and containers, not those you make yourself). Noticed this when I looted a house and found two cured hide - one at 100% condition and other at 0%. I dropped the ruined one on the floor and when I returned at night I accidentally picked it up - when i realised my mistake I went to inventory to drop the ruined hide again it was nowhere to be found, instead I had two 100% cured hides.

I've had good luck sorting the pills so that the higher percentage is first in my inventory.  Then, I go through a door, and they are all that higher percentage.
