Food spoilage & shelf life
How long each food keeps before it spoils, and what it turns into. Cooked meat lasts far longer than raw, and most fruit & veg keeps for days. Every timer is read straight from the game files.
Shelf life is real-time hours from full freshness. Raw meat spoils fastest; cooking it multiplies how long it keeps. Spoiled food can still be eaten for reduced nutrition (or composted for fertilizer).
