this has happened several times. When I am Dividing up the harvest, whatever I just split from the whole just vanishes, and I happens on the Seed Machine the most. It wouldn't bug me if I were playing in MadMan Mode and I am at Sol 40, and food is scarce. and to have 20 Beets vanish, really is anoying. and might I suggest Mad Man starts with 15 each instead of ten, so you can at least build the well. Or have some AL rocks near the landing spot.
