Greetings. I'm experiencing a problem with Geneforge 4, on the macintosh. However, I'm not really expecting any sort of resolution because A) I'm quite tired, and this 'error' may simply be human error on my part and I'm not quite sure what could be done about it anyway.
Description: I had found the Crystalline Fibers. I went from there to my stash, which was a barrel in which I kept everything 'interesting' throughout the entire game. I dumped the fibers in the barrel, took all my swamp herbs along with those I had found in the area near the fibers, and sold them. About an hour later, I return to the barrel, because I'm going to use the fibers with the anvil. Only there are no fibers in the barrel. Instead, there's a single solitary swamp herb.
Perhaps I'm just tired, and have somehow, SOMEHOW, completely mislaid the fibers, and had two stacks of swamp herbs in the barrel, and didn't gather them all up to sell. But it -feels- like I'm having an item error where due to the many items in the barrel, it swapped them or something.
My question: Is there any prior evidence of 'overloading' from stuffing too many items into a barrel, resulting in swapping of what all is in there? Items swapped or gone missing?
