Mechanics
Spoilage
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. This process is inevitable and cannot be stopped.
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 end product will inherit its freshness value from its ingredients. For example, if you craft an item from a 20% spoiled ingredient, the product will also be 20% spoiled.
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. In these, the freshness value of the ingredients do not matter in the product being produced.
