One pattern that seems consistent: Trying to craft consecutively locks up. Doing some other action in between crafting seems to avoid locking up.
Same here : picked berries once, second time it froze. Frozen berries ?
That seems to be he pattern. Doing (almost?) anything twice in a row causes a lockup. I just locked up by chopping wood twice in a row.. Which would have given me enough wood to create the raft and escape after only 17 days. :-(
