If you take a stack of 10 items with freshness 50% and add one item of freshness 100%, the result is a stack of 11 items with a freshness of 54.5%.<br /> <br /> As such, all items in a stack will spoil at the same time. If spoiling spawns an entity, one entity will be spawned per item in the stack.<br /> <br /> === Production and freshness ===<br /> <br /> Items that are generated by means other than a machine (or the player) executing a recipe are generated at 100% freshness. This includes harvesting [[yumako]]s and [[jellynut]]s, as well as extracting [[biter egg]]s from [[captive biter spawner]]s. Captive biter spawners have the unique property that the eggs they generate do not begin to spoil until they are removed from the spawner.<br /> <br /> If no spoilable inputs are used to generate a spoilable output, then the freshness of the output is determined by the recipe (usually 100% fresh, but [[nutrients]] created from [[spoilage]] are 50% fresh). Note that [[recycler]] recipes are no different; if a non-spoilable item can be recycled to a spoilable input, that input item will have 100% freshness (the [[biochamber]] recipe is one such example).<br /> <br /> If a recipe generates a spoilable product using one or more spoilable inputs, the freshness of the spoilable input products may be transferred to the freshness of the output. If the recipe only has one spoilable input, then the freshness percentage is transferred directly to the output. If a recipe uses multiple spoilable inputs, then the freshness of the output is the average freshness of the input.<br /> <br /> Some recipes override the freshness of the output product, even when the inputs can spoil. Most catalytic recipes (recipes which consume and produce an item of the same type, for example [[iron bacteria cultivation]]) do not transfer freshness to their catalytic product; their outputs are always 100% fresh.<br /> <br /> While items can spoil while in a machine's input slots, once the item has been consumed to start a production cycle, the item cannot spoil.<br /> <br /> The freshness of inputs can transfer to outputs. But the freshness of the fuel used to power the building producing the spoilable product is irrelevant. The [[biochamber]] uses [[nutrients]] as fuel, but so long as the recipe itself does not use nutrients as an ingredient, the freshness of those nutrients does not matter to the freshness of the output.<br /> <br /> When using the player's hand-crafting queue for spoilable outputs, the freshness of the output is timed based on when the hand-craft was added to the crafting queue. This means that, if you craft a lot of fast-spoiling spoilable products all at once, the final crafts may directly generate spoilage instead of the desired item. &lt;!-- As noted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1ib4ff3/biter_egg_to_spoilage_bug/ This could be a bug. --&gt;<br /> <br /> === Freshness effects ===<br /> <br /> For most spoilable items, their freshness matters only in that the freshness can transfer during production. For [[agricultural science pack]]s however, there is an additional effect. Freshness affects the speed at which a science pack is consumed in a lab. A 50% fresh pack will be consumed twice as fast. But because it does not generate more science value during that consumption, it effectively only produces half the science that a 100% fresh pack would.<br /> <br /> Note that freshness does not affect the [[fuel]] value of any spoilable that has a fuel value. So long as the fuel is consumed before it spoils, it will impart all of its energy to the device.<br /> <br /> == Spoil products ==<br /> <br /> Most items which can spoil will transform into [[spoilage]], but some items spoil into other things.

Because spoiling can happen at any time, the game must account for this possibility in a variety of ways.<br /> <br /> If a recipe consumes or generates a spoilable item, the machine executing that recipe gains a number of &quot;trash slots&quot; appropriate for the spoil products of these types. If a stack in its input or output slots spoils, then those items are moved to the machine's trash slots. The machine may not continue to operate if its trash slots are full. Any output inserter can take from trash slots, so you may need to filter inserters to specifically remove trash.<br /> <br /> If an inserter is aimed at a machine which has trash slots based on spoilable input items, and the item it attempts to insert into the machine spoils before insertion is complete, the inserter will insert the item into the machine's trash slots. It will ''not'' do so if the item has spoiled before it was picked up (and it will not pick up spoiled items).<br /> <br /> If a machine's output is full, then spoil-based trash slots don't function. If input or fuel stacks spoil while in this state, they will remain in the those locations (blocking further inputs or fuel) until the machine's outputs have been emptied.<br /> <br /> [[Lab]]s and [[biolab]]s have pass-through logic that allows science packs to be passed from one machine to another. While this works for [[agricultural science pack]]s, it does not work for spoilage. So each lab must have its own inserter specifically to remove any spoilage.<br /> <br /> While inserters can be filtered, spoilable items can cause filters to be bypassed if the item spoils after being picked up. The inserter will not attempt to put the item back even if the spoiled item type violates the rules of the filter.<br /> <br /> If an inserter is holding an item that spoils, it will immediately turn and attempt to insert the item in its destination. Note that this overrides the general rule of [[stack inserter]]s that they only turn when they have a full hand size. This is done to prevent stack inserters from getting stuck.<br /> <br /> ==Mathematics==<br /> <br /> A buffer holding ''n'' items with a spoilage time of ''t'' will have an average spoilage rate of ''n/t''. For example, a steel chest holding 48 stacks of 50 normal-quality copper bacteria, which spoil in 1 minute, will produce on average 2400 copper ore per minute. This relation is called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little%27s_law Little's law] in queueing theory. The formula only gives the average spoilage rate, assuming spoiled items are immediately removed and replaced with completely fresh items. In practice, the rate can vary over time due to many factors, such as items being already partially spoiled when they are inserted, or many fresh items being inserted at the same time.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> * In Space Age, a base quality [[fish]] has a spoilage time of 2 hours, 5 minutes, and 50 seconds. This equates to 7,550 seconds, or 453,000 [[time#Ticks|game ticks]], which is a reference to developer V453000, the artist behind the fish icon.<br /> <br /> {{C|Space Age}}</div>

<p>Kizrak: /* add seconds to Spoil times */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Languages}}<br /> {{About/Space age}}<br /> ''For the article encompassing the spoilage item, see [[Spoilage]].''<br /> <br /> '''Spoilage''' is a mechanism whereby an item type, after a fixed period of time, will spontaneously transform into a different item, or sometimes an entity (or nothing at all). Most items which can spoil are either produced on [[Gleba]] or produced from Gleba resources.<br /> <br /> == Spoil time and freshness ==<br /> <br /> Any type of item which can spoil has a spoil time, the maximum time it takes for the item to spoil. An item's ''freshness'' is a percentage of how far the item is from spoiling. 100% freshness means that the item is at its maximum spoil time away from spoiling, and 0% meaning that it has spoiled.<br /> <br /> Spoiling can happen at ''any'' time. It can happen while an item is in a chest, in the input or output slots of a machine, in the hand of an inserter, etc. Almost nothing can arrest the process of spoilage.<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable sortable&quot;<br /> |+ Spoilable Item Times<br /> |-<br /> !

If you take a stack of 10 items with freshness 50% and add one item of freshness 100%, the result is a stack of 11 items with a freshness of 54.5%.<br /> <br /> As such, all items in a stack will spoil at the same time. If spoiling spawns an entity, one entity will be spawned per item in the stack.<br /> <br /> === Production and freshness ===<br /> <br /> Items that are generated by means other than a machine (or the player) executing a recipe are generated at 100% freshness. This includes harvesting [[yumako]]s and [[jellynut]]s, as well as extracting [[biter egg]]s from [[captive biter spawner]]s. Captive biter spawners have the unique property that the eggs they generate do not begin to spoil until they are removed from the spawner.<br /> <br /> If no spoilable inputs are used to generate a spoilable output, then the freshness of the output is determined by the recipe (usually 100% fresh, but [[nutrients]] created from [[spoilage]] are 50% fresh). Note that [[recycler]] recipes are no different; if a non-spoilable item can be recycled to a spoilable input, that input item will have 100% freshness (the [[biochamber]] recipe is one such example).<br /> <br /> If a recipe generates a spoilable product using one or more spoilable inputs, the freshness of the spoilable input products may be transferred to the freshness of the output. If the recipe only has one spoilable input, then the freshness percentage is transferred directly to the output. If a recipe uses multiple spoilable inputs, then the freshness of the output is the average freshness of the input.<br /> <br /> Some recipes override the freshness of the output product, even when the inputs can spoil. Most catalytic recipes (recipes which consume and produce an item of the same type, for example [[iron bacteria cultivation]]) do not transfer freshness to their catalytic product; their outputs are always 100% fresh.<br /> <br /> While items can spoil while in a machine's input slots, once the item has been consumed to start a production cycle, the item cannot spoil.<br /> <br /> The freshness of inputs can transfer to outputs. But the freshness of the fuel used to power the building producing the spoilable product is irrelevant. The [[biochamber]] uses [[nutrients]] as fuel, but so long as the recipe itself does not use nutrients as an ingredient, the freshness of those nutrients does not matter to the freshness of the output.<br /> <br /> When using the player's hand-crafting queue for spoilable outputs, the freshness of the output is timed based on when the hand-craft was added to the crafting queue. This means that, if you craft a lot of fast-spoiling spoilable products all at once, the final crafts may directly generate spoilage instead of the desired item. &lt;!-- As noted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1ib4ff3/biter_egg_to_spoilage_bug/ This could be a bug. --&gt;<br /> <br /> === Freshness effects ===<br /> <br /> For most spoilable items, their freshness matters only in that the freshness can transfer during production. For [[agricultural science pack]]s however, there is an additional effect. Freshness affects the speed at which a science pack is consumed in a lab. A 50% fresh pack will be consumed twice as fast. But because it does not generate more science value during that consumption, it effectively only produces half the science that a 100% fresh pack would.<br /> <br /> Note that freshness does not affect the [[fuel]] value of any spoilable that has a fuel value. So long as the fuel is consumed before it spoils, it will impart all of its energy to the device.<br /> <br /> == Spoil products ==<br /> <br /> Most items which can spoil will transform into [[spoilage]], but some items spoil into other things.

It can be &quot;built&quot; by firing a [[capture bot rocket]]{{SA}} at a [[Enemies#Nests|biter spawner]] on [[Nauvis]], which will slowly transform the spawner into a captive one. A captive spawner will lose health at a rate of 1/second, unless fed with a supply of [[bioflux]]{{SA}}. If a captive spawner's health reaches zero, it will transform back into a normal spawner and will have to be captured again. While captured, a spawner will generate [[biter egg]]{{SA}} at a rate of 0.5/second. Unlike other spoilable items, a biter egg will only begin to spoil once it has been removed from the spawner. <br /> <br /> A captive biter spawner has no [[module]] slots, and is unaffected by [[beacon]]s.<br /> <br /> A captive spawner cannot be removed by the player or [[construction robot]]s, but can be destroyed via weapon fire, at which point it will spawn a small biter.<br /> <br /> After reaching [[Aquilo]]{{SA}}, the player can craft biter spawners themselves using eggs and [[uranium-235]], which can be manually placed. While in the player's inventory or another container, a captive spawner has a spoilage time of 30 minutes, at which point it will turn into a behemoth biter.

<p>Kizrak: sortable tables</p> <hr /> <div>{{Languages}}<br /> {{:Infobox:Spoilage}}<br /> {{Stub}}<br /> {{About/Space age}}<br /> '''Spoilage''' is generated by letting most spoilable items spoil. This often happens on [[Gleba]], but it can happen anywhere, notably with [[agricultural science pack|agricultural science packs]] or [[fish]].<br /> <br /> Spoilage can be directly harvested from stingfrond, sunnycomb, hairy clubnub and other flora present in Gleba. In addition, [[recycler|recycling]] [[nutrients]] will behave as if the nutrients were made using the [[nutrients from spoilage]] recipe, thereby yielding conciderably more spoilage than simply allowing the nutrients to spoil naturally.<br /> <br /> == Alternative recipes ==<br /> {|class = &quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !

A spoilable item has an inherent timer attached to it, which begins at the item's creation. When the timer reaches 0, the item is transformed into [[spoilage]]{{SA}}, with a few exceptions. This process is inevitable and cannot be stopped.<br /> <br /> The exact time differs per item, ranging anywhere from a few minutes to 2 hours. This means that item throughput is more important than ever on Gleba, and buffering a large stockpile is ineffective, as items can spoil within containers.<br /> <br /> When crafting with spoilable items, the final product will inherit the freshness value of the ingredients. The three exceptions are [[Iron Bacteria|iron]] and [[copper bacteria]] cultivation, [[pentapod eggs]] and [[fish]] breeding, whose recipes will always result in a 100% fresh product, regardless of the freshness of the ingredients.<br /> <br /> When crafting with two different spoilable items of different freshness values, like in the [[agricultural science pack]]{{SA}} and [[bioflux]]{{SA}} recipes, the final product's freshness is determined by the average of the ingredients' freshness. <br /> <br /> The agricultural science pack does spoil, which will gradually decrease its research value, so the player is incentivized to build a fast space platform to bring them back to Nauvis. <br /> <br /> Spoilable items are used as ingredients in a few non-spoilable items, such as the [[biochamber]]{{SA}}.
