No offline food spoil is a Vintage Story mod by Wiltoga. No offline food spoil pauses spoilage for food in a disconnected player’s hotbar and backpacks, while leaving shared storage unchanged.
Why this mod is worth installing
This server-side QoL tweak suits multiplayer worlds where players may log out with provisions in their inventory. It requires no client installation and can preserve food during absences.
What No offline food spoil adds
When a player disconnects, perishable items in the hotbar and backpacks stop advancing toward spoilage during the offline period. Food stored in chests or containers belonging to other players is not covered.
The same protection can pause other timed transitions affecting suitable items, such as drying. The recommended implementation does not add custom save data, making the tweak convenient for server administrators to add or remove.
The delay can be adjusted with a multiplier: a value of zero skips all offline spoilage time, while one applies the full absence. An optional maximum skipped duration can limit how much time is ignored.
