Food decays over time into Decayed Food unless refrigerated in a suitable atmosphere. The exact speed of decay varies individually by:
- TEMPERATURE - Refrigeration will slow decay and extreme heat will speed it up. The optimum temperature is 0 kelvin (-272ºC).
- FOOD TYPE - Each food type has its own decay properties. Tomato Soup lasts a lot longer than a Tomato, for instance.
- PRESSURE - Food decays faster when the pressure drops below 1 atmosphere (101kPa). Decay happens exponentially more quickly as the atmosphere approaches a perfect vacuum. There is no effect from higher pressures.
- ATMOSPHERE - Different gases can slow and accelerate the decay process. The process will take account of respective gas ratios in mixed atmospheres in calculating the decay modifier. The following rates apply across all foods:
- Oxygen x 1.5
- Nitrogen x 0.6
- Carbon Dioxide x 0.8
- Methane (and others): x 1
- Pollutant x 3
- Nitrous Oxide x 1.5
- Water x 2
- Vacuum - see PRESSURE (above).
