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.
