I think I found a problem. Every time I load a save, new fruits spawn, but previous fruits doesn't despawn and my computer dying because of this. Is this supposed to work like this?
No sorry. I'm starting to have way too many fruits myself, and I'm trying to breed a kobold with enough strength to grip clumps of fruits to grind but it's a process. There's actually a little part of the cave wall near the fruit trees that spawns a mushroom so you don't have to go inside! Hope that helps.
Yeah, I've been having no luck with dealing with the fruits in one of my saves. I waited too late to start grinding them and trying to grind 3+ fruits at a time has a tendency to break the reagent scanners and blenders. I think there's nothing to be done but to wait for the dev to add a fix like making fruits despawn if not picked up by a certain amount of in-game time.
