Curing of meat

[Alexg]

Cured meat lasts A lot longer then Uncured fill you up by 2 bars and dehydrates you 3 bars and you can use “sea salt” obtained from the shore on Coastal maps (CH,DP,BI)

There is lots and lots of good discussion about the idea on previous threads, but I will just echo what I mentioned in a couple of those threads:

I don't see a need to have a system for preserving food when the current set up already provides the same effect, and I don't think it's such a critical issue to warrant overhauling the systems again to add this particular facet when the current effect is the essentially present.  Again though, I can agree that it would be a nice touch... but one that I can live without.

preserving food (particularly meats) is a topic that does come up often, however considering everything that's already in place and the various ways we can use (or choose to look at) them... I just don't see curing meats as being all that necessary.  Though I do agree that it might be a nice touch... but for all intents and purposes the functions are already there (so to speak).

They could use the stump remover to cure meat since it's already in-game. That'd give us that nitrate taste we know and love 🤪

As long as cured meats had less smell I would be up for them putting in the effort

I would expect that any implementation of food preservation techniques beyond that currently available (putting meat and fish outside in the cold) will be somewhat more  and significantly less useful than hoped.
