8 years ago Sorry but I'm 100% against this idea. If food rot mechanics didn't already work this way, I would have feature requested it a long time ago. Simulating the passage of time equally across all players, whether they are online or offline, is important. This mod's single purpose is to make survival more challenging and realistic, so I'm not sure why you would knowingly install it, and then refer to its features as unavoidable trolling. Especially on a hardcore survival server.
Great mod I am enjoying this a lot. The only oddity I have seen is food spoils when you are offline. I have installed another mod that halts server progression when no one is playing but this doesn't stop the issue that any one player can be online and all my other players food spoils. On a hardcore survival server that is like unavoidable trolling. Unfortunately I had to make the freezer easy access to get around this issue.
At a minimum I would hope an update will prevent food in a players personal from spoiling when they are offline. I would also recommend a CoFH style storage that binds to the user to solve the other issue of spoiling. An unlocked chest would spoil as usual and a locked chest or shared locked chest would spoil only when the chest owner or privileged user is online.
