Vending Machine block broken

The Vending Machine block is always unable to find it's programed recipes when loaded into a client via replication in a dedicated server environment.

Logging out and logging in fixes this issue temporarily. But staying on the server and letting your client unload and replicate the grid back in will always break the Vending Machine.


Steps to reproduce this bug:

Log into a dedicated server. Spawn a Meal Pack and get it in your inventory.

On any planet, put down a LG battery with a Vending Machine block on it. Place the Meal Pack into the inventory of the Vending Machine.

Click on the display to bring up the Store UI. Select the Administration tab. Find your Meal Pack in the selection list and click on it. Increase the 'Amount:' for sale to 1 and click on Create Listing on the bottom right.

The Meal Pack should show up for sale on the left side of the window.

Exit the UI. The Vending Machine should correctly show your Meal Pack for sale.


Now travel far enough away that your client unloads the grid with your Vending Machine.

For me, 6km is far enough and I can visually see the Vending Machine disappear. You can also use spectator camera with ctrl-spacebar to move your character away.

Now fly or bring your character back to the Vending Machine. You will see it forever showing "Searching for available offers".
