Why does food spoil so fast now?

[Dog]

I live on soup, I think it used to not go bad at all. So I can understand them patching it to spoil if it was incorrectly not spoiling. Now though it spoils rediculously FAST. I eat soup at 71% hunger/thirst, thats the level where one soup will restore both to 100%. I will have 1-3 soups spoil in the short time it takes to get to 71%, so for every one I need I have up to three go bad. WTF?! Its too fast. Why isn't there some sort of storage unit where you can keep things so that they dont spoil? Ever heard of a refrigerator before? I can make a fully automatic rifle with bullets that explode with liquid nitrogen but I cant make a refrigerator? I mean FFS, the food prep facility has a refrigerator in it! DUUURRRRR!

Your soup get cold, so it's bad.

The food is spoiling too quickly.

Because Konami doesn’t care to make actual improvements. It’s harsh, but that’s the reality with this game. Wouldn’t surprise me if at some point they allow microtransactions food in an “update”

Since the last week of changes, I have noticed food spoils extremely fast now as well. There are some other changes they made also, for better or worse. What they really need to do is increase base capacity, particularly for Base Lvl 3. Such a waste to achieve it with no real benefit. Poor choices by Konami is what continues to drive players away from the game and they are already in short supply.

food spoiling quickly is not a big deal.
by the time you get animal cages, farms, & water tanks you will need to dump food/raw meat because you have so much of it.
and the spoiled food in your storage bin becomes kitchen waste which is a necessary item.

edit:
i too live on Boer Goat Soup for sprint boost and i usually carry 5 or 6 soups on me at any given time. i drink it at 75% and the others don't spoil at all, so i don't know what your deal is....

edit2:
ok, i just had 1 of my soups spoil while I was exploring the Dite dust. I had 5 and now I have 4. Not a big deal, I always have some extra Goat milk for food emergencies xD

The big deal is now I am losing up to 3 for every 1 that I eat when I wasnt before. I would craft between 15-50 soups at a time, keep them on me and use as needed. It only takes like 6 minutes to get to 71% hunger/thirst and now every time I go to eat one, 1-3 have gone bad. Now I have to stop and craft a lot more frequently to avoid simply losing supplies, on top of not being able to keep my speed bonus on. How is that a good addition to the game? Now I am discouraged from stockpiling things because I would lose up to 75% of them. Apparently we arent allowed to have storage units or idk, not have things expire in the first place. Supplies simply going bad for what, realism's sake? Because the game is so realistic right? Time travel, monsters, way beyond macgyver crafting abilities, fully sentient A.I. but hey we gotta pull back the fantasy some and make sure that food goes bad. We dont want things getting too far fetched here...that is a bad design choice.

Soup did disappear before but it basically worked wrong. Most foods go from whatever they are to spoiled versions and then the spoiled versions become waste. But every food basically had a meter. When it was for lack of better terms 70% old, it would become spoiled and at 100% old become waste.

Soup wasn't becoming spoiled at 70%, it still had the full meter though. So it would still dissappeare at 100% old, but it never became spoiled and never became waste because only spoiled food becomes waste.

So the fix so that soup can spoil pretty much cuts off a third of it's lifespan as well as they did seem to adjust a few foods down by like five to ten minutes.

Yes food spoils too fast now, already finiahed game, 2 goat cages, and still with big food issues xD

How about you smoke it?

It was patched to spoil faster and the respawn of objects and materials was delayed too much so you have to spend some coins on a pass boost and base dig for materials lol.

On the other hand WTF do we get base camp level 3 if we can't build around it because you can't. I bought every freaking storage expansion and still I can't build because you have food, water, and beds taking all the freaking space.

Plus if you build 5 turrets on each side you are doom with one line of fences in front of them.

Also if you try dig 6 with simple turrets is no use because the wanderers elementals can't take any damage from the turrets. So Freaking patches made game worse. They should leave the game the way it was at the beginning

It only regenerates health mate. Soup gets both and 2 is better than one. Because your freaking character can't carry anything because she goes on an attack of asthma

Then that's a fair trade, you want more bonuses while sacrificing the life time.

Water don't spoil, smoked food don't spoil. Problem solved
