That's the result of a quality phone with an abysmal camera lens. :/ Forgive the poor image quality; I'm thinking of invested in a proper camera soon.

Yeah, I know what it's like to own an odd cat. 
My cat, Tika, despite being a decade old now, often chases her own shadows, hides inside boxes, meows to herself when she sees a reflection of herself... Even if you can't ever understand then, you still love them. Lol

What's really crazy is that is completely different from how it works in life. Vitamins don't do ♥♥♥♥ against food poisoning or the plague. Food poisoning rarely kills you and you rarely get it unless the food hasn't been cooked right. A17 got the mechanics right for canned foods and stuff giving food poisoning: most of that stuff would have been expired by now. For the fresh meat though (Regarding the A18 comment)? As long as you cook it properly and eat it without it sitting in the fridge for weeks at a time, you won't get sick. We really just need food spoilage. A simple timer on the item and then it turns rotten. Without working refrigerators, it'd go from good to questionable to spoiled within a few days.
I think what I'm getting at here is fix the problem: Food lasts forever. Instead, ensure the player always has to eat bad quality food unless they killed that boar, cut open it's carcus, and cut out the meat within the past 2 days or so. That along with a reduction in meat (I got 55 meat from a boar last night in A17) that each animal gives would make it feel more survivalist. The user shouldn't be allowed to see the spoilage timer either, and it should be randomized a bit to be unpredictable. Between that and tying hunger to game hours and thirst to how active you are (and hence: how much you sweat), you'd have a pretty interesting system where most food would be questionable at best or bad, and the only good food you can eat would be fresh off a bear's ass. (or boar, or deer, but bear sounded better)

I have a question. If you have a container full of food that can be spoiled, but you then fill up the rest of that container with, say, wood frames, leaving no space for spoiled food. Would the food still rot, despite there not being a space for it to be placed in the chest? Just curious.
I think that TFP's took inspiration from all those people that put adds in videos, songs and telemarketers that are constantly calling every five minutes. But instead of saying brains, all I can hear is MMMMOOOOOONEYYYYY!
Even songs are not safe. I can listen to a song and all the sudden I hear this goofy voice talking about some crap they are trying to sell.
Can't wait till they start putting adds for a 911 calls.
Sometimes I play the game just to escape that, it's less scary.

I see the problem now.
What you see as MUST FIX,
should actually be called MAYBE FIX.
Now, you feel better already!
So much better, that you want to release A18!
You will make every sane person on the planet happy.
Then you will feel even more happy!
No, no. Keep looking at my watch,
swing back an forth... back and forth...

Yep, Gup got it
What would be even more impressive would be the old 2 liter bottle + dry ice :biggrin1:
(don't have anything breakable too close, don't get impatient {may take 30+ mins} & don't be suprised if the cops show up; it can be a hell of a boom!)
