Antidotes and Fridges
Why on Earth can these not be stored in a fridge? It makes it completely pointless to process them unless necessary or if you might be making an extended trip to the swamp. Every other elixer/potion can be stored in a fridge, so why not antidotes?

because it would make things way too easy? Everyone would just craft a ton and place in a frigde and use it when coming back from the swamp.

Update. Give them time and it may get remedied. At least the blood will keep in a fridge.

Current Version: v242.3
Unversioned Hotfix: Fixed issue with Leech Blood not being storable in Icebox/Preserving Bins. Requires Server Update.
* Performance improvements to server yielding 20-25% perf increase. Also improves Client CPU utilization.
* Changed Rhino Horn requirement to Narcotic on Lesser Antidote. Made Lesser Antidote Disease Immunity last 3 minutes.
* Leech Blood now spoils after 3 hours (Stackable in Quantities of 50), can be stored in Fridge. Made leech blood more common to harvest.
* Made Swamp Fever increase movement speed by 20% and decrease rate of food, water, and oxygen consumption by 50%.
* Made Swamp Fever not able to be transmitted through collisions/walls.
* Among current non-human creatures, now only Tamed Dodos can be infected with Swamp Fever. (as intended). Any existing infected dinos are cleared on sever launch.
* Bug Repellent now repels Leeches and bug repellent now works when applied to your Tamed Dinos
* Attached Leech no longer drains Stamina.
* Reduced rate by about 70% of Diseased Leeches in Swamps, as intended.
* Water/Amphibious creatures are no longer targeted by Leeches. (swamp native ;)
* Dinos will not play the eat animation so often when autonomously eating
* Fixed another value that was increasing rate of Quetz food consumption, is now fully back to original values.
* New Server Options
?NonPermanentDiseases=true
This will make Diseases not permanent (you will then lose them if you respawn).
?PreventDiseases=true
This will completely disable Diseases on the server. (thus far just 'Swamp Fever').
* Fixed appearance of "blue fog" on the Cave-water material.

But you can already store the Leech Blood, which has the exact same spoil time, in a fridge, and just make it when you come back. This is extra tedium to not allow you to process it.

And yet the leech blood can be stored in a fridge. So here is all you need to do. Put a storage bin with the narcotics, mushrooms and flowers, next to as fridge with leech blood. Make the antidotes when needed.

Valid solution?

Yeah, Leech Blood works. Not the Lesser Antidotes.

But after new path you are able to store leech blood in fridge... So its not so hard to store right now... Also not horn but narco is needed right now to make Lesser Antidote
silentcrow01 Jun 3, 2016 @ 4:46am 
With at least the blood able to be stored for a bit, it does help. Since the other items needed aren't perishable, you can build those up first, then go for the blood and make almost as needed. It also helps that they fixed some of the effects.

+1 for me
in real life anti venoms etc are also stored cold for preservation, i assume it's just an oversight to be added soon

Stimulant and Narcotics can be stored in fridge, even though they don't spoil, but fine, makes sence. And the same type of item/potion/recipe, Lesser Antidote, which does spoil, can't???

aint that the same as just storing the finished product in a fridge lol

Holy necro, this is from June when Leeches were first introduced.

Well, it is also still a concern, which is compounded by the fact Leech Blood can only be stored in the Preserving Bin now.
