Food in containers or your inventory will spoil over time. Raw food and crops will become rotten, while baked goods and cooked food will first go stale before eventually rotting as well.

Spoilage Time without any preservation methods.

Spoiled Food Consumption

Eating spoiled food comes with consequences:

• Stale food restores less hunger points than the original and has poor nutritional value.
• Rotten food has a change of causing nausea, hunger and poisoning when consumed and has very low nutritional value, similar to the poisonous potato and rotten flesh items.
