There is a way around this: at certain intervals a percentage of the stack changes to the spoiled version and is added to your pack. But at that point what if your backpack is full? It would probably be no fun if a random, useless item was suddenly encumbering you.
That isn't the only reason TFP chose not to do it, but I believe this was the main one.

I kinda liked the concept of food spoilage in Starvation mod, but tis way to easy to bypass. For example, just storing any perishable food in a campfire bypasses all spoilage checks.
There is a lot of quirks and thoughts needed for spoilage to be done logically. From a gaming perspective, really need to ask if the effort is worth it. Would the majority of players find spoilage fun? While I thought it was fun in concept, in Starvation it turned into more of annoyance to deal with then a fun challenge.

There were a whole lot of balance issues in Starvation, and food spoilage was the least of them...
This was the mod where you were basically one-hit-killed by ridiculous Unity-bought animal assets at every opportunity.
That part of the game seriously reminded me of one of those Jim Sterling videos where he plays asset flips. It also forces you into a strategy where you hardly ever leave your base, because wandering outside is certain death.
There are a lot of other good things about the mod though, like other survivors, crop plagues, different workbenches, etc.

Because it explicitly says 'helmet' and it's purifying the water as you drink it, in the helmet. It would not work in any other armour piece or slot.
I check them along with traders on the reg (at least once per RL day/around resets)...either for stocks of chilli/salmon to make higher recipes or meat/corn/potato/mushrooms for early stew supplements. Grain Alc/Snowberry Extract/Corn Meal if I'm lazy and don't want to waste corn/farm as much.

Never used. Those things are an anomaly for me.

Change vending machines to be mostly broken (exception being at a trader) and you can't get actual stuff that would be in one (snacks, granola bars, etc) until you break it open then it changes to an open one and you can harvest it down. Also the ones at the trader should only take old cash. (Multiple currencies was the end to a means.)

I use them all the time now in A17. A16 not so much. I always get the raw meat, eggs and any plant items in them.
