📋 About This Mod

Food Spoilage

Description

Food Spoilage adds a realistic food degradation system to Cyberpunk 2077, making food and drinks spoil over time depending on their quality. This mod enhances immersion by requiring players to manage their inventory carefully, especially in harsh environments. Fresh food provides health regeneration bonuses, while spoiled food can cause poisoning penalties.

Features

[]Dynamic Spoilage System: Food and drinks deteriorate over time, with different spoilage rates based on item quality (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary).[/]

[]Percentage-Based Notifications: Receive on-screen warnings when food freshness drops below a configurable percentage threshold, showing remaining freshness percentage.[/]

[]Visual Indicators: In-inventory icons change color based on freshness levels: Green/Cyan: >75% fresh, Yellow/Orange: 25-75% fresh, Red: <25% fresh[/]

[]Detailed Tooltips: Hover over items to see exact freshness percentage and environmental effects.[/]

[]Poisoning Mechanics: Eating food below a freshness threshold risks poisoning, reducing health regeneration by a configurable percentage for a set duration.[/]

[]Fresh Food Bonus: Consuming very fresh food (>75%) grants a health regeneration boost for a configurable time.[/]

[]Environmental Effects: Food spoils faster outdoors during sunny weather, especially in Badlands.[/]

[]Stash Preservation: Items in your stash spoil slower, with configurable multipliers.[/]

[]Stash Differentiation: Notifications clearly distinguish between items in inventory and stash with prefix.

Settings

[]Spoilage Times: Set hours before spoilage for food and drinks by quality (1-720 hours).[/]

[]Notifications: Enable/disable notifications, set warning threshold (0-100% freshness).[/]

[]Stash Multipliers: Adjust spoilage slowdown for food (1. 0-20. 0x) and drinks (1. 0-20. 0x) in stash.[/]

[]Environmental Effects: Enable environmental effects, set Badlands and heat decay boosts.[/]

[]Food Poisoning: Enable/disable, set poison threshold (1-50%), chance (1-100%), regen penalty (0-100%), duration (10-300s).[/]

[*]Fresh Food Bonus: Enable/disable, set regen bonus (10-200%), duration (30-600s).

Note: When first launched, the mod will scan the inventory and stack items into a single fresh stack. For example, if a player has 8 burritos in their inventory, once the freshness timer expires, all 8 burritos will be deleted. My recommendation: store food and drinks in a stash where they will stay fresh longer, and take out individual items before heading out.
