[Suggestion] Re-tweaking Food/Meals (aka my issue with decay)
The short version is: Food decay way too fast, making a less enjoyable experience.
Most issues about food decay is that it is a super intense micro management task that just doesn't even give that great of payoff, you spent hours gathering, planting, harvesting and cooking food and you'll receive a dish that will decay within minutes, so you'll be forced into a loop of prepping food, to eat it right away, just to have to make more as your stock of ingredients is wasting away.
Solutions:
- Make ingredients last longer, fresh meat 1-3 (in-game) days, veggies and plants 7 days.
- Make grown food not decay (I know there is talent, but I feel it is arbitrary for something that doesn't make sense).
- Shorten or increase the yield of growing crops.
- Cooked food should last longer, 2-5 days depending on what ingredients used.
Closing words:
I know there is cold storage and freezers, but still they have a spot for fresh cuts and cooked food.
Also maybe increase the exp gain for cooking.

Darkskynightcooked meat at least in the basic sense, for us has basically never spoiled. we cook it, and take it with us, and just eat it when its nearer to spoiling/ we are hungry. Also there are talents that make food last longer, and I know the one for planted food not spoiling at all is just broken rn (not working)
It sounds like this should just be made as a bug fix for the grown food not spoiling tbh. -

CyberwolfA freezer would be nice. i.e. something that significantly slows or stops spoilage all together. Especially with prepared foods.
