Canned food/drinks

[AestheticallyOP]

Shouldn't canned food and drink be kinda permanent? In a way most canned food and drinks can last years without being in any fridge.

Not stored in the truck of a car through the heat of three summers and freezing winters. That is food poisoning for sure : )

I'll tell you why they spoil so fast - because of all the bullet spraying from the 3 NPC drones... They shot every possible can on the map, but cant seem to hit infected from a 2 meters distance... lol

Jokes aside, i hope Rati will fix the loot table, so all canned food and drinks spawn where it should - in kitchen cabinets in houses.
And it wouldn't be bad if canned food/drink is made to last permanently, but also made into very rare loot, because honestly it doesn't have much of a use now, except to fill storage space. From the ingame day 2 or 3, the only cans i have eaten is to free storage space.

I've wondered about MRE's. A shelf stable survival food pack but in this game they rot in like 40 game days. But only after you find them. I found 2 this game and they didn't last very long. That green can soda lasts forever though. Also if you make bear stew, you get 4 bowls and they barely last long enough to be hungry enough to eat the 4 servings...

Bro most people stockpile canned food in underground bunkers in case of the apocalypse :') It lasts for a long time though. Soldiers could survive on MRE'S and canned food no matter the weather conditions :P

You can't really compare breakable cars and trees with canned food though :P

I thought the same thing about the bear stew. I finally made it and it was going bad before I even needed it. Ate 1 and the rest disappeared before I could get back to it.

The best meat are the dried one. But yeah some food dies too quickly. Even when you put it in the fridge...

the fridge is the biggest problem ..

I'm sure it's on the fix list but probably towards the end of the list since there is an alternative in dried meat.

Usually reloading the game will respawn breakable cars but you have to be completely out of the area for them to respawn. As for the trees I'm not sure how it works. I have had trees spawn though after I exited the game completely and restarted.

Right?!? MREs are supposed to last at minimum 1yr, 2yr on avg.

Do you have a bunker completely packed with canned beans and water? No? Okay, enough with the pseudo reality stuff then. Most people are too busy uploading selfies on their social platform of choice or swiping left on their phones; or trying to use a pseudo realistic argument point on a game forum of their choice. So NO... the general population is not stocking food and water down in their underground bunkers that don't exist because their Neighborhood Association doesn't allow them to exist.

Having been a soldier previously; Army specifically, I can say that the military is one of the groups that is at the highest risk of infection due to a viral outbreak because of the large concentration of troops in small areas. It's one of the reasons why yearly and non-yearly shots are not voluntary.

MRE's last for roughy 5 years if stored at 75 Farenheit or less. Of course, being moved or issued for training or operations and then returned to storage will affect the shelf.
