Most likely cause

Quick fix · Expedition route order
Running out of time, food, or rest in the dungeon?
Symptom: The party has to return before reaching the intended room because its expedition supplies or recovery loop collapses.
Short answerTreat rations and camp supplies as pre-departure requirements; the exact Camp Fire interaction is not release-verified.
Legacy test path—reconfirm every label and control in the EA build.
- Step 1Before departure, inspect the expedition inventory for rations and camping supplies.
- Step 2Carry a deliberately small, countable batch so consumption can be observed.
- Step 3At the first safe opportunity, inspect the Camp Fire interaction and record which resource, stat, and time cost it shows before committing.
Success feedback
The relevant expedition stat recovers and the supply count decreases by the displayed amount. Do not infer recovery from the camp animation alone.
