Strange messages when cargo destroyed

Is it just my imagination or did you not used to get a simple "Food destroyed" etc. message when losing cargo in a firefight?

I'm now getting "(Food, 7, 80, 19, "-2", "-2", 6, 1, 1, 0) destroyed".

Not sure if this has just started happening in 1.69.1. Is it a bug or intentional? And what do the numbers mean anyway?

*looks*

That was new in 1.69. I’ve fixed it for future versions. In addition to being weird-looking it’s unhelpful because it will always give you the data for food. :-/ (The numbers are the commodity data from commodities.plist.)

Just to make sure you are aware, it also does the same thing when ejecting cargo. I'm sure it's already taken care of

And to further pile on the food....

It displays that food (...) when ever you choose cargo to dump, you will never get an option other then food(...); and you could be dumping a computer that was called food(...) - I had to go back and pick up an escape capsule.

Yes, that’s what I said. :-)
