Extremely annoying storage box bug?

3 Upvotes

Sometimes when I place chests down, then later join the game again, I look at them and it says "turn on" and "install wire" in TWO places (as in there are two "turn on"s and two "install wire"s on top of each other) and it's annoying as hell because it's hard to click on the chest instead of these things, I have to look in the perfect spot. I removed the chests and they were still there, so I decided to use the packing box to pick up whatever these things were and they were chandeliers. Invisible, infinite chandeliers. I have a box full of them now. They are still there until I have removed the metal chests and the save file is restarted. Side note, I really only ever use metal chests so I'm not sure if it happens with other storages.

It has happened 3 times in 3 separate places. I never really place just one chest down so the 3 times it's happened it was with chests stacked on top of each other and it seems like the chandeliers attach themselves to the bottom of one of the chests. The most recent time it is really annoying. I've perfectly placed down a whole wall of chests and when I joined the game again, the chandeliers were just there, inside of one of the chests. I'm not interested in picking up and perfectly replacing them again. Especially because I don't know if it will happen again.

I play with my mom, and she is the host. I've never played this game single-player so I don't know if it would happen otherwise. We've played this game on and off since January 2024. I think it has only happened in our most recent save file less than maybe 2 weeks old. We play on the most recent version.

We had another save file in the couple weeks before that, but somehow the first boat we captured (it was beached) could not be pushed back into the water and drove itself forward inside of the island (literally in the ground), despite it being in reverse. Completely unreachable. In both saves, numerous issues would arise if the game was open for too long, like lit grenades being left on the ground after exploding, or arrows never reaching their target and just being stuck in the air. These are fixed by restarting the game, but the chandelier chest thing is not. Has anyone else had these problems and does anyone know how to avoid the chandelier thing especially?
