Honey, Ice, and Birchnut at different stages of spoilageĪs an object spoils, it changes states. For example, putting a spoiled berry (20% shelf life) and a fresh berry (100% shelf life) on a stack causes them both to be about to turn stale (60% shelf life). When combining stacks of items, the shelf life of the items becomes the average of each items shelf life. Moon Moth and Spore do this: They last longer when in an inventory. Objects can apply custom 'local multipliers'.Frozen items are protected from this if they're in a fridge. Frozen items exposed to fire spoil/melt extremely fast (rate 3000%).(rate multiplied with 0.75) Frozen items stop perishing at all (unless fire actively melts them). If the global temperature is below 0 (freezing temperature), everything spoils 25% slower.If the global temperature is above overheating temperature (70), everything spoils 25% faster.In addition to the above, the following modifiers may apply (multiplicatively) (Items in the regular player inventory don't get any of these multipliers, so they spoil at their normal rate.).Objects left on the ground or carried by Shadow Chester or by a player wearing a Funcap have their spoil rate increased to 150%.Warly's Chef Pouch reduces the spoil rate to 75%.

In addition, frozen items (such as Ice) do not spoil/melt at all while in a fridge (except for the Insulated Pack). Fridges of all definition reduce the spoil rate to 50%, effectively making the item last twice as long.The Salt Box and Mushlight/ Glowcap reduce the spoil rate of their contents to 25%. Some containers slow spoilage, prolonging the shelf life of the object.The actual shelf life time of the object can be longer or shorter depending on a variety of circumstances: Objects which are perishable will spoil over time.Įvery kind of object has a different 'perish time', that is the time in seconds it takes for a fresh object to completely spoil.
