In act 3, you can get the Bag of Moulding item in the circus from Akabi.
This item instantly rots anything you put into it - a pretty useless but funny item.
However, it also does the following:
-Anything put into it retains its camp supply value, meaning the camp can feast on rotten food for days on end if you put your whole supply into it
-The weight of any food item put into it is set to 0.09
And for the major issue:
-Carrying these 0.09 weight food items breaks the game, causes stuttering and crashing, and eventually led to my save being corrupted. Luckily I could load into an older save, drop the rotten food and my issues disappeared.
I came to this conclusion because my game started to crash extremely frequently. After some thought I realised it happened after I got the bag of moulding and started to feed my characters rotten food. Karma, I suppose.

- Is the issue consistent or occasional?
Consistent. The first 2 issues are minor and pretty funny, the 3rd is potentially game-breaking.
- Any troubleshooting steps that you’ve already tried.
During the crashing I verified the integrity of the game cache several times which did not help. I also rebooted my system several times, which did not help.
What fixed it was not carrying the rotten food @ 0.09 weight anymore.
- A description of what is happening vs. what the desired result should be.
1. I'm assuming the rotten food should not be edible. Instead, we can force-feed our characters rotten (and somehow highly nutritious) green eggs (+ the fact that it only weighs 0.09 means you can carry MUCH more supplies)
2. the game isn't supposed to crash constantly.
