Food in kitchen spoils too quickly?
« on: October 31, 2007, 04:43:00 pm »

I'm seeing a lot of miasma around the two kitchens in my second-year fortress.  And the cause will either be a spoiled ingredient or a spoiled prepared meal.  This while I've got plenty of dwarves sitting around idle and empty barrels.

Actually, now that I look, most of the food (meat and fish) in the barrels in my food stockpile seems to be nearly spoiled.  Does the new version do away with food keeping indefinitely if in a food stockpile barrel?

Food should keep in the food stockpile.  Is everybody's food rotting?

I believe only meat does this. My first fortress was meat heavy, and I saw miasma in the food storage nearly always no matter how well stocked on barrels I was. Second fortress relied only on plump helmets, and I never saw it once.
