Accepted Food Preservation

[joe moter]

Or lack thereof...

For some reason, canned food, chips, and even rations expire quickly.

The primary purpose of canned food is to stay fresh for extended periods of time, yet canned food in Willard will expire within a matter of days. Rations in Half-Life Alyx have a label on the box which while concerning, shows just how long this food lasts for: 9000 days once the seal is broken. Yet in Willard, when the seal is broken, the food lasts for about three days. I hate to say the E word so early in any suggestion, but Echo One made expiration worse, food used to expire in 14 days back in main, while it was bad, it made food tolerable to work with, now it expires in six to three days from what I've seen.

The following picture is canned food (or appears to be):


I don't know how you couldn't agree with this.

Make canned food, chips, and generally artificial food last forever. Make the rest last 14 days- or make it dynamic depending on the item. Perhaps make pickled food useful by making it last longer.
- for canned food, you could do the zomboid thing, where you need to open it with a can opener

I agree with this, some items should have longer ex dates BUT rn its fitting for the event.
If we give certain items more ex date we should wait for main map :3 (imo) but i like the suggestion
