[0.17.12.0] Pluck-a-Pal breaks in large servers

Pluck-a-Pal is very buggy on servers with a lot of players currently. The crane will often appear to have grabbed a toy, but then breaks in a strange way that prevents it from actually being collected. A few of the issues I’ve found include:

  • Crane grabs toy and carries it to the collection chute, only for toy to return to it’s original spot when the claw opens
  • Crane grabs and lifts toy, but toy does not follow crane when it moves to the chute
  • Crane gets locked in place and does not lower before closing
  • Crane fails to grab toy and snaps to top of machine

Steps to Reproduce

Play Pluck-a-Pal and attempt to grab a toy from the machine.

What I expected to happen

I earn a toy when I manage to grab one.

What happened

The game breaks and I miss out on the toy I grabbed.

I have issues with the machine too. Sometimes the balls stack like in the picture and when you drop one with the claw you dont win because it’s clogged. Other times when you should win the ball teleports back to where it was, others it gets stuck mid air for no reason.

Also, the machine doesn’t specify that it does not just cost 50 tokens but it will also drain 3’500 units from your account.
