razab Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 PZ wiki states that pickled food lasts 90 days including 60 days fresh. This is actually not true. What is true is that it lasts 90 days but the time it stays fresh depends on how long the actual food item stays fresh relative to it's overall durability. Here is an example: Cabbage stays fresh for 2 days and spoils after 4 meaning it stays fresh for 50% percent of it's overall durability. This percentage is also carried over when it is pickled: It stays fresh for 45 days and spoils after 90. What is confusing here is that, say after 46 days, the jar has still the attribute "Fresh" but when you open it, the cabbage is not fresh anymore but stale. The reason why this is not correctly described in the wiki is probably that the script entries for the jars (like "Jar of Cabbage") say "DaysFresh = 60" and "DaysTotallyRotten = 90". However, the DaysFresh-entry has actually no effect in case of jarred food. To verify what I wrote, simply play in debug mode, make jars of food and edit their age in the debug menu.

Pandorea Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 An overhaul of the entire preserving system is planned for one of future builds so nothing will be done with this atm. (Also, Wiki is out of date on many accounts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getstoopid Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 If an overhaul is planned anyway I would suggest to increase the lasting time of preserved food then because 90 days seems to be rather short even for game-balancing values Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also, Wiki is out of date on many accounts) Thanks for the reply! Already heard some rumors about an overhaul of the food preservation system and I am happy to hear that this might come some day in future! Post was not meant as a bug report though. My intention was just reporting some "curiosity" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
