Hello! Thank you for reporting. Do the chips not disappear after you pick them up? (asking because you say that you can pick up multiple) Also due to how rpgmaker works, you have to interact with your feet as the interaction point, so if you face towards the bowl, with the bowl being on the same level as your feet, after taking down the trash and picking up the chips, does it still not work? And if so, just to be sure, are you playing the right version for your operating system? (just to rule out the obvious answers)
Nope - the chips do not disappear. They stay, and I can just pick them up for infinity, with absolutely nothing happening when I interact with the bowl, no matter where I stand- feet at the interaction point or otherwise. And yes, I am playing the Windows system.
Believe me, I am as bewildered as you, I have no idea how something like this could happen, but I tried every single thing I could think of.
Wait, I think I figured it out. Have you been trying to pick them up from the top? Please try picking them up from the side (facing to the left) and see if this solves it. If you try to pick them up from the top, then the necessary switch doesn't get flipped. (This is an oversight on my part and will be fixed now)
