How to Build Ice Cellar in Soulmask
As explained above, Ice Cellar uses ice to lower the temperature of the food you store in it to slow down its spoilage. You need to have Awareness Strength level 40 to unlock it. Once unlocked you can craft it at a Building Workshop. The materials you will need for it are as follows:
- Clay x50
- Stone Brick x100
After it is ready, you can store the food that you don’t want to consume immediately and save it for cooking later.
How to Preserve Food in Soulmask
Aside from the above method, there isn’t much that you can do about it currently. Some other known tricks to help you are:
- Prioritize Cooking based on the Ingredient: Basically, check which food items are about to get spoiled and which ones still have some time before they need to be used. Accordingly, you can cook it or feed it to your animals.
- Don’t Store Food in Separate Stacks: Thanks to Steam user Xea for sharing this method, you can check their comment in this thread here. They suggest that instead of storing 50 meats in 5 different stacks, you should store it in 1. This is because every stack loses only 1 item per decay so having 5 of them will spoil 5 of them instead of just 1.
