Spoiled food/medicine

[beEZ]

Does food spoil only when in my backpack or will it spoil even if I pick it up and store it in a drawer or fridge in a house for example?

A question on another note. Do any items that are picked up respawn somewhere in the world or is it more like once you use it that's it (limited)? Example: sewing kits for clothes repairing.

It will spoil regardless of where it is. Some foods and meat will spoil slower if left outdoors.

Anything that is at zero condition will despawn from the world if it is transferred to a container unless it has harvest value (i.e., a clothing item will not disappear when placed in the container since you can harvest it for cloth; however, a granola bar will).

The only things that respawn in the world are wildlife, coal, sticks, branches, and most limbs. Beachcombing along the transition from ice to open water will sometimes yield stuff, but very limited.

wait, if there is a finite number of sewing kits won't i eventually be forced to go around naked?

You can use fishing tackles for sewing. It's just a bit slower

Thanks for the reply!

So what you're saying is that I better not pick up any food unless I really need it at the moment in order to prevent it from starting spoiling?

Everything starts spoiling, even on another map that you've never been to. If you stay in one place long enough, everything could potentially be spoiled to zero by the time you transition to another zone.

Spoil timer starting when you pick something up the first time was how it used to work. Not anymore.

I heard that raw meat decays slower when it's outside... is that true?

Yes.
