'''Spoilage''' is an item generated by letting many spoilable items spoil. Many resources and intermediates produced on [[Gleba]] transform into spoilage, including [[agricultural science pack]]s. [[Raw fish]] in Space Age also can spoil into spoilage.


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.

Most biological products on Gleba are "spoilable". 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.
{{main|Spoilage mechanics}}
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.


Spoilable items are used as ingredients in a few non-spoilable items, such as the [[biochamber]]{{SA}}. In these, the freshness value of the ingredients do not matter in the product being produced.  
Many items produced on [[Gleba]] will transform into spoilage after a period of time particular to that type of item. This mechanism is also referred to as "spoilage". This can happen anywhere, in machines, [[Transport belt|belts]] and even when being held by an [[inserter]].

This article is about the result of an item's spoilage. For the article describing the mechanics of items spoiling, see Spoilage mechanics.

Spoilage is an item generated by letting many spoilable items spoil. Many resources and intermediates produced on Gleba transform into spoilage, including agricultural science packs. Raw fish in Space Age also can spoil into spoilage.

Spoilage can be directly harvested from stingfrond, sunnycomb, hairy clubnub and other flora present in Gleba. In addition, recycling nutrients will behave as if the nutrients were made using the nutrients from spoilage recipe, thereby yielding considerably more spoilage than simply allowing the nutrients to spoil naturally.

While spoilage is generally a waste product, it does have a number of uses. The ability of an assembling machine 2 or better to transform spoilage into nutrients is useful on Gleba as a way to produce nutrients that does not require the biochamber (a building which uses nutrients as fuel).

Spoilage mechanics

Main article: Spoilage mechanics

Many items produced on Gleba will transform into spoilage after a period of time particular to that type of item. This mechanism is also referred to as "spoilage". This can happen anywhere, in machines, belts and even when being held by an inserter.

Quality increases the freshness duration of an item.
