FOOD DISAPPEARED

[†_KRiBro_†]

Well, I had a cabin full of different loot. Since more than 300 days has gone, almost all my food inlcuding cans, chocolate bars an so on, has 0% condition. After the update, half of my loot went into the "Box of forgotten things" And this half just disappeared because when you put 0% thing into the any container it just disappears :(

There is nothing you can do in the vanilla game about that.
All you can do if find a mod that spawns the items that disappeared

Likely with the update something was added or changed in the location that caused Lost and Found to do its thing. Probably a film cartridge and/or the advent of Safe house customization.

Lost and found sweeping up all things that its criteria decided would be "lost" and putting them all into a Lost and Found box (inside for a location or outside at some particular point in a region for everything outside) without regard for the condition of the item - so ruined food and such would be lost anyway - has been a feature or problem with it for a long time, i.e. since it was first implemented.

Unfortunately that seems to be just the way it is. You're not alone on this.

If you do mod them back, you could also add the mod that slows down the decay process. Slower or faster. Your choice.

The food expired, as food does. Immersion is satisfied.

Let it go, make a bow and start hunting some wolfsteak.

Not that fast
And Chocolate Bars, Cans, and so on should not just disappear (Especially in containers) if we talk about "immersion"

The decay rate seems intentional. Having to replenish supplies does stop you camping in one spot. I tend to favour movement on Loper so a nomadic sort of existence suits me. It can also limit potential exposure to the cougar. Except for dealing with the trader of course, which requires more presence in CH, but so far, there is no cougar in this area. But that may change in time.

As far as I know stuff disappearing in containers at 0% has always been a thing. Which would account for many empty containers in my longer runs. As I approach my current goal of another 1000 days I expect to find less at the furthest reaches of Great Bear. As you gain more experience with how the game works this becomes less of a problem. Just enjoy the journey.

Yeah, that definitely sucks, OP. I sympathize, but there's not much to do other than dust yourself off and carry on. 300 days is nothing to scoff at, and I'm sure beachcombing will replenish those stores in no time!

Yep, anything that doesn't have a "use" at 0% disappears if it's in a container. For example, clothing IIRC will degrade to 0% in a container but stay there since you can rip it up for cloth, but anything that can't be used (sewing kits, etc) will vanish if you put it in a container. Which is also a convenient disposal method.
