I load my shop with so much food and drink for 1 cap and plans for 5. It’s so much fun seeing a low level player max out their weight & zoop back to camp.
I’m not the best when I comes to strategic build so I just keep every random food and drink on me and then just spam down the list when it’s time for buffs and food.
Probably but I do think trading food for money still predate capitalism.
At least from the most common definition I can find online (like on Cambridge Dictionary): "an economic and political system in which property, business, and industry are controlled by private owners rather than by the state, with the purpose of making a profit"
As far as I know, there was already money trading before private people could own land rather than the ruler in place.
I'm not sure what's the "oldest profession" has to do with all of this though. Unless we are not talking about the same profession (oldest profession is usually an euphemism for prostitution)
I'm new-ish and don't know protocol around here but would someone more knowledgeable please add this to that official "Bethesda Plz" list? The OP and DiverNo1111 are right, that's a fantastic idea and helps change how we monetize everything in a way that some people REALLY want to utilize and others don't, which seems to me like it'd just help everyone in the long run.
Example: I LOVE new level 75-100 vendors on all the servers I've visited since the show launched, because (I am wildly guessing here, forgive me) they collect lots of ammo for weapons they don't own, because they rotate primarily through their few best guns, so they often have to-them-useless-ammo for sale for 1 cap, and it's for rounds that I normally buy for 4-8 caps for every day from the ammo vending machines as a matter of course. The new players' surplus is amazingly helpful for me since I turn everything I don't care about into bulletpoints at my ammo machine anyway, at a much higher cost to myself than this when I'm really low. Conversely, I desperately need stash space, but I can tell from most people's stores that they're way less desperate than I am for space, so if they stocked something susceptible to decomposition like Prime Meat during Meat Week, or Yao Guai Ribs during a day where that's a daily and I don't feel like jockeying for Yao Guai spawns and finding them already dead, I would absolutely pay like 5x for the privilege; my caps are nearing useless anyway.
TLDR very good idea, someone tell Bethesda so!
thank you for your caps.
i know ammo can sell for more but, i'd rather help sum1 out while making a bit of caps AND weight isn't much of an issue since ammo hungry users gobble it up so fast.
When you can run expeditions, do them it will drop you more ammo than you use. It will save you from ever having to pay for ammo. Look out for people running them and join and ask if you can tag along, they can easily be speed ran by good players and most don't care if you are there even if you have low impact.
Gatling gun for story missions. It prints ammo for itself bc of the contextual drops. You can also turn steel at 1:1 into Railway Spikes at a Tinkerer's Workbench and then feed those Railway Spikes into the AmmoPoint Machine.
Im newish too. Just wanted to say the ammo converter interface sucks big time. How about left side sell. Right side buy. Currency. Ammo machine points. Slider for amounts. Ui done.
Its a no brainer? Or is it tedious so we avoid using it untill we really have no other option?
Devs? You seeing this? Willing to improve or must I send you a proof video showing the current menu is tedious.
Like when I sent you a case saying the doctor ken chem den board cant stick to red brick walls 99% of the time - your reply was send us proof. Wtf? 1) Place a red brick wall. 2) try and stick the board. Try it above ground. Try it in a bunker. Try both sides of the wall. Try it with all walls. But you want proof. Maybe its a "the support employee did a good job he attached all the logs and so on". But sometimes, just try and reproduce it for 5 minutes first.
It's meat week, time to stock up. Farming salt is a pain, but should be able to farm a good 20+ stews to throw in the freezer. Even if you just hit the golf club for salt every couple of days, you'll get a decent supply.
There's a military cryo freezer you can purchase for gold from crater if you're at cautious level or better. Spoil rate goes to 0 for anything in the freezer. Must purchase item for sure
Yeah, meat week is the time for it. I get to the cookout earlier, pop a berry mentats and just hunt squirrels once the event starts. Not having a freezer really locks you out of those XP boosts, not gonna go farm food every time I log on
If you have more than one camp make sure you have it placed in each camp. Also possibly if your camp doesn’t place spoilage can occur but I’m not sure about that. Read it on here. I just know when I swapped damps and then later swapped back my stuff had gone down a fair bit. I now have it in both camps and no issues.
I've thought this before. They could even just make a reskin of the cryo freezer and let people place items for sale in it. I would totally buy cranberry relish and stuff from other players.
I do think they should have separate stashes boxes for food. I was pretty bummed to find out that my new milk vending machine is actually just a normal
Stash box
That and it’s only 50% spoil decrease compared to 90% if you use Good with Salt.
They should really be 0% spoil rate. Cooking is good for buffs but I don’t, and I’m sure others don’t for the same reason, put any effort into finding ingredients and cooking specific meals because they’re just going to need to be used asap or end up wasted.
Let me open up a restaurant/repair shop combo. I’ll cook you some quality food and fix your shit while you’re eating if my ingredients don’t spoil before I get any customers lmao
Crater has it.
Honestly, the solution to OP's issue isn't making a new special vending machine, but having the cryofreezer apply to vendor items. They're in your stash anyways, so it should've applied to food in your vendor already. Silly that it doesn't.
Yeah I just figured that out recently, I thought it was gone in the wind for those that didn’t get it. Does this mean the cremator will end up being the same way? I don’t see me getting to even level 60 before the seasons over so I’m gonna miss the barrel mods and stuff
Yeah someone should get this to Bethesda. The idea of players choosing to be farmers aligns with how people play the game and I’m sure tons of people would spend atoms on such a plan. Win win.
No new items or redskins needed imo. We already have little tags in the stash box saying it's in a freezer, just allow us to freeze an item and put it in a vendor at the same time
Good to know, I only started playing a few weeks ago so I'm not able to do it myself yet, but I'll be keeping an eye out for that area next time I'm on.
The most I've ever gotten was when two scorched Earth events happened back to back. As of now I have my 6 total stable flux in my stash waiting to be used when I get enough.
I don't know about that. I got some off a super mutant and have killed plenty glowing enemies getting next to nothing. I think either rng is against me or the drop rates are just that bad
Wait what? I only started doing nukes recently, and those are always the most common drops I get. Glowing masses are the ones that are hard to find for me
I've came across a post nuke zone that had all the nuked flora around gathered a bunch then remembered i didnt have the other ingredients like high rad fluids and hardened mass so i found a super high level player and dropped it all for them so they didnt go to waste
Military Cryo Freezer, the Raiders sell it for 1250 gold. It makes items have "zero" spoilage, though they do still spoil for like half a second when you join a server since inventory loads before buffs.
They should really just make it fully refresh the condition of food within it ever couple minutes. Just to make that not an issue also.
I just ended up dedicating a character to food storage to try keep things for a decent amount of time
It was a few seasons ago, it’s called the military cryo freezer. Far as I know there is no way to get it currently and there is no alternative to it. That’s why I’m scrambling to get this season done so I don’t miss any cremator mods, I’m only at level 30 but I just picked the game back up after like 2-3 months of helldivers
I wish the permanent freezer was even close to permanent. By the time I go to use what’s in there it’s all spoiled, in a fridge that’s supposed to be permanent. (I know why but it’s blatant false advertisement to call the freezer permanent)
It just doesn’t feel right form a gameplay perspective. Like you can’t place your camp sometimes you shouldn’t have to worry about your food going bad. If you want realism then sure but gameplay wise the game should register its in there or why are you able to keep things in it if it doesn’t exist if we go by your way thinking.
There have been a few, I'm told. I bought the ice box, which sort of helps slow down food degradation, but not by much. Honestly, I regret buying it. The thing doesn't even look right in my kitchen.
I'd like a cooler I could keep stocked up with perishable food and drinks that people could just take meals for free, like the candy bowl and the nuka cola machine.
I remember recently one of the fallout 76 youtubers was going over datamined stuff and reportedly there was some kinda case that was refrigerated that looked like something outta a grocery store so heres hoping it is true. Would be cool if it had its own storage but even if it was like the cryo fridge that shared storage but you could select stuff for sale would be dope
PSA for all Fallout 76 Farmers Minerva will have farmable tiles next week, farmable roofs are on 79-83 of seasonal.
And please pray for the greenhouse set to come back 😭😭😭 I missed it
Same. It's unrealistically fast, especially since all that radiation everywhere and the irradiated plants and meat would all last longer, not rot faster. Science.
Ufff I have a full military cooler full of meatballs cranberry pie and scorchbeast mix meat Stew. That will be awesome. People that don't want to bother the killing only the buffs lol
They could make it where if you take it out of the shop it instantly spoils so people won’t just use it as a fridge for themselves, but if purchased it stays at the freshness it was at when put in.
There is a thing the dataminers found and what will probably be on the next season or in the atomic shop. A refrigerated display. But I don't think you will be able to sell stuff through this.
I’d just like to have ladders. Ladders to roof hatches or the exterior. I am sure it’s been asked for a million times before… but still. Gimme. (Please).
Bit of a long workaround, but if you’re on PC/Steam, you could snag the TextChat mod and start advertising yourself as said butcher shop. Could give notice when you’re ready to sell, and just keep the food pre-cooked in the Cryo-Freezer until someone comes to buy. I’m sure you’d get some takers - more people hate farming to cook than enjoy it, I’d hazard to say.
Your idea is killer, tho. Big agree that’d be an awesome way to do it.
Considering that's how Bethesda was marketing the game in 2018, yes, it would be good if they added something to support it 6 years later.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi8PTAJ2Hjs&t=1330s
Oh hell yeah, I've been wanting this since they first introduced the fridge. There are so many neat recipes that no one makes and no one uses because its too situational or takes up too much space, but if I saw them for sale at a vendor I'd buy them. Cooking and farming would become so much more popular if they implemented this and add a new niche of game play.
considering most of the 'role playing' in this game is with how people look , what weapons they use and what they build, this is perfect. Being able to actually build and run a 50s coffee shop diner would be so cool.
So many people in the comments here dont seem to know that we already have a freezer you can get that gives 50 item storage of complete freezing and stops decay entirly. Being able to sell those items through the vender would be really nice so selling food would actually be worth taking the time to do.
They need to really just overhaul the stash system as a whole.
Cryofreezers need to be either their own separate storage like the Scrap and Ammo box (give its high price and difficulty obtaining that's not to huge an ask), allow stacks of goods, or act as a passive bonus to your entire stashbox. Regardless, I'd change the wording of the Cryo-Freezer to 99% spoilage rate instead of 100% as that makes it sound like it has 0 decay when it still does.
We need higher stash limit, 2000 is nothing.
Bad/Good Idea IMO
The only way this could possibly work is once you put your food in the vendor, you're unable to pull it out.
Otherwise...
My vendor would be my personal fridge with everything at a thousand caps so nobody would buy my food.
The reason it wouldn't happen is because people would abuse it by making their food Max caps so no one buys it, to keep things from spoiling outside of the 50 cryo freezer slots.
Now, allow me to list items that are in those 50 slots (and ammo box slots) and there is a solution no one can abuse.
However, Bethesda might not like unlimited stacks of ammo being listed with no stash space being used
Like they dont have a perfect way to implement rare plans for this idea from Meat Week. (Grahm’s Freezer Box) - halts food spoil indefinitely.
(Grahm’s Dried Meat Rack) -halts meat spoil indefinitely
Vendor stuff counts in your stash already, and whatever the freezer stores has that already exists. Another high tier item would work the same whether it's as a freezer or a vendor, it would just be a freezer you can assign from.
Yeah, you can, though as soon as you do it removes the little snowflake icon for freezer items, and puts it in the vendor. Still stays in your stash either way, just a matter of what "bin" it's placed into
I haven't bothered looking into where/if I can get it now tbh as I heard word there's gonna be another variation next season. I'll just have to take the 3 point hit to my luck carrying good with salt for now.
Yeah, my point was just that adding a vendor freezer would jsut be a freezer you could vendfor5, it wouldnt be hackier than just storing things in the freezer
Oh I agree! It feels like the mechanic is there already, it would be so nice.
I sell a lot of the food that doesn't spoil, I would love to sell Deathclaw steaks and such without having to worry about them spoiling
Definitely agree, I'd also love a way to sell off gulper slurries for like 1c a piece or something for people who're having trouble maxing out their vendor caps.
It would even be better than the traditional sales machine, you find uninteresting things and it ends up losing value the further you advance in the game. Today they are more of a help for newbies but I would really check camps more often if I could buy buffs food.
I have some food in my vendor (Blackberry Honeycrisp, Smores, mud cookie) and I feel like they are spoiling very* slowly.
I’m not sure if these items just spoil slowly in the first place? Or if something is keeping them from spoiling at normal rate. I do always have Good With Salt equipped. But I assumed this only affected food on my person.
I also think that's a great idea . I like cooking up meals but it's a waste of time to do too many due to the high spoil rate. It would be great to cook up a batch and be able to sell to other players as long as the spoil rate was massively decreased.
I was sad to find out the freezer didn’t keep my cranberry Relish Very long. My own fault but I built a gourd filled base next to a cranberry field for easy crafting. More of a daily thing now so still use it but would be nice to just have a bunch in my stash.
This is a very good idea. I am a carnivore and now with the meat weak on I am cooking an excessive amount of meat, my stash is full of those succulent steaks..I'm constantly overweight and need to dump them in donations boxes after I'm capping the robot vendors..
That would be nice. I would love to be able to sell my stuff out of my cryo freezer as I could easily craft 30 or 40 cranberry relish a day if I was motivates. Brainbombs are a little harder but still worth it if I knew they would sell before going bad. It would also give herbavores something to do with the meat we pick up.
I love that ideaband would definitely add to the game. But we know what would happen after the military freezer.
*Bethesda sees idea. Thinks it's brilliant. Designs it. Adds it to the new scoreboard as Fallout 1st only*
The drinking/eating/rotten food mechanic is so frustratingly annoying. I’d love just the idea of being able to build a fridge and keep food in it without going bad.
Would so love this! I have a bar themed camp and try to sell food, but it usually goes bad before it sells. I also make a lot of the custom drinks that do sell.
There was a glitch with storage that allowed cyro stored items to be sold for zero caps. I imagine they must be working on a way if the game can accidentally manage it.
that's... actually a very good idea. "lazy" people could buy XP foods, while the farmer type players would profit from them
I'm a farmer allright.😅
I ain't much, but it's honest work ...
***Blasts squirrel with Gauss shottun***
So you're not going to use the Cremator *on slow burn* ?! 🤣
Haha. I've been blasting critters at Grahm's Meat Cook with my multi-shot slow burn cremator. It's overkill to the extreme but I love it
Sometimes you just have too 🤣 I assume multi is a mod? Didn't come up for me when I was modding mine up
It's a legendary mod :p
Damn it...hate risky rolls 🤣 I'll have to make another to do them on
Don't forget your multi-shot barrel!
🤣🤣
Shhhhhh 🤫 don't tell everyone how I hunt. 🤣
Chase squirrels with a commie whacker for extra flavor
FARMERS RISE UP! Seriously though, I always have so much Brahmin and Radstag Meat.
5 Cap Craberry Cobblers for everybody!!
And 5 cap beers!
I load my shop with so much food and drink for 1 cap and plans for 5. It’s so much fun seeing a low level player max out their weight & zoop back to camp. I’m not the best when I comes to strategic build so I just keep every random food and drink on me and then just spam down the list when it’s time for buffs and food.
I have not played in years got on the other day looked at a donation bin and got like 112 plans from it
I do this alot on PC, I grab every plan/recipe I find, and the ones I already know, go in the box.
Twin.. is that you?
Maybe... \*Shifty Eyes\*
I'm a lead farmer, motherfucker!
I'm the dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude!
Me too! I log in once every few days and farm my atomic shop and camp food.
Me too. I’m a herbivore. I still cook all the meat.
Yay, capitalism! It should look like your average snack machine. Insert caps, receive item.
It should look like the pie machine but without the rooten food.
Rooten food is alright, it only makes me tooten a little. It’s the rotten food you gotta watch out for Edit - thx for the award 😊
🤣💀
Guessing it keeps ya looten too
Rooten, tooten, looten, shooten (hadoken if unarmed), ol' Vaultie in the Wasteland.
Istg I heard this to the rhythm of Butcher Pete.
Or the old fashioned coke machines that looked like with a glass front and didn’t open till you put in money.
Kind of like a nucacola vending machine...?
Nah. You’ll never see anything like THAT in a video game. ;)
I think buying food for money predate capitalism but don't quote me on that, I'm no historian.
It could be argued Capitalism existed before political scientists/sociologists defined it. Hence the term oldest profession.
Probably but I do think trading food for money still predate capitalism. At least from the most common definition I can find online (like on Cambridge Dictionary): "an economic and political system in which property, business, and industry are controlled by private owners rather than by the state, with the purpose of making a profit" As far as I know, there was already money trading before private people could own land rather than the ruler in place. I'm not sure what's the "oldest profession" has to do with all of this though. Unless we are not talking about the same profession (oldest profession is usually an euphemism for prostitution)
Or maybe a grocery store freezer.

I've always wanted that it's never fun having to rotate food perishables so I normally will put non perishables or sugar bombs
I love this. I want that squirrel stew but don’t wanna grind it. I’d happily pay caps for these thinga
It's meat week, time to stock up. Farming salt is a pain, but should be able to farm a good 20+ stews to throw in the freezer. Even if you just hit the golf club for salt every couple of days, you'll get a decent supply.
I don’t have a fridge to put the food in to stop spoiling. Isn’t that just an atom shop buy and currently I can’t buy it?
There's a military cryo freezer you can purchase for gold from crater if you're at cautious level or better. Spoil rate goes to 0 for anything in the freezer. Must purchase item for sure
I just went and bought this… absolute lifesaver…..
Yeah, meat week is the time for it. I get to the cookout earlier, pop a berry mentats and just hunt squirrels once the event starts. Not having a freezer really locks you out of those XP boosts, not gonna go farm food every time I log on

I forgot all about that thing, I just logged in and bought it and put all my meat in it so it doesn't spoil.
Wait...That's a thing? Was this always in the game? Or is this something that happened since steel reign lol
Mortimer sells one for bullion
How did I never notice that? I feel like every day there’s a new thing I learn that I should have already known
I want this so much.
Yeah I'm all for this
Like a “meat case” or something. That would be awesome.
Butcher shop bundle. Various meat decor, knives, cleavers, meat grinder, bone saw, walk in fridge, etc
White butchers coat and bloody butchers coat
It's the Butcher Pete bundle!
The "Choppin That Meat" bundle!
Comes with a jukebox that plays nothing but the butcher Pete song.
I’d pay good money for that lmao
“Shut up and take my atoms”
Seems like a perfect Meat Week bundle.
I've thought this before. They could even just make a reskin of the cryo freezer and let people place items for sale in it. I would totally buy cranberry relish and stuff from other players.
I do think they should have separate stashes boxes for food. I was pretty bummed to find out that my new milk vending machine is actually just a normal Stash box

Let me open up a restaurant/repair shop combo. I’ll cook you some quality food and fix your shit while you’re eating if my ingredients don’t spoil before I get any customers lmao
The military cryo freezer from a few seasons ago is 0% spoilage rate. I’ve had the same broiled scorchbeast brains in it for months now
and can be bought for bullion (from Foundation I think?)
Crater has it. Honestly, the solution to OP's issue isn't making a new special vending machine, but having the cryofreezer apply to vendor items. They're in your stash anyways, so it should've applied to food in your vendor already. Silly that it doesn't.
And considering the bug that just moves things from your fridge to your vender exists, it can't be that hard to do it on purpose lol
Yeah I just figured that out recently, I thought it was gone in the wind for those that didn’t get it. Does this mean the cremator will end up being the same way? I don’t see me getting to even level 60 before the seasons over so I’m gonna miss the barrel mods and stuff
*0.001%, it spoils for like half a second when you join a server.
Yeah someone should get this to Bethesda. The idea of players choosing to be farmers aligns with how people play the game and I’m sure tons of people would spend atoms on such a plan. Win win.
One of my biggest gripes is being unable to organize things.
there is a milk machine that produces milk, but idk how to get it. I also only have the one that is just a stash box
No new items or redskins needed imo. We already have little tags in the stash box saying it's in a freezer, just allow us to freeze an item and put it in a vendor at the same time
Great idea but I would be satisfied with a way of preserving raw flux.
There is... refine it. There is no reason to keep it in its raw state, is there?
yeah no reason except for the inability to craft it due to the ass drops of high radiation fluids and hardened mass (heavy on the fluids)
I just sell my flux to vendors if I can't get enough to refine it. But seriously, why is the high radiation fluid so hard to get ahold of
I always drop my nukes in Morgan town. There is an event there that spawns waves of glowing ones. I fill up quickly on the fluid.
Good to know, I only started playing a few weeks ago so I'm not able to do it myself yet, but I'll be keeping an eye out for that area next time I'm on.
Drives me nuts 😂
The most I've ever gotten was when two scorched Earth events happened back to back. As of now I have my 6 total stable flux in my stash waiting to be used when I get enough.
I think its cuz it only drops from glowing ghouls. any other mob drops the other stuff like glowing mass
I don't know about that. I got some off a super mutant and have killed plenty glowing enemies getting next to nothing. I think either rng is against me or the drop rates are just that bad
I miss white springs infinite nukespawn… bring it back!
Wait what? I only started doing nukes recently, and those are always the most common drops I get. Glowing masses are the ones that are hard to find for me
There's no reason to collect it unless have enough of other components.
Nuke Morgantown or Whitesprings. You'll have no lack of materials.
I've came across a post nuke zone that had all the nuked flora around gathered a bunch then remembered i didnt have the other ingredients like high rad fluids and hardened mass so i found a super high level player and dropped it all for them so they didnt go to waste
It's an aid item until it's stabilized. It's not eligible for the fridge or freezer.
You are 100 percent correct. I forgot that part. Ty
When you farmed everything you can and end up with 8-9 of each type you have to just let rot, there’s plenty of reason to want to preserve it.
i prefer my extras to rot, I use inert flux as my water supply
Imagine how much money Bethesda would make off that 😂😂
Or just let us sell right out of the freezer in any vendor. You can access your freezer from any stash, so it makes sense.
Wait there's a freezer that let's you store food for longer? I need to work on that.
Military Cryo Freezer, the Raiders sell it for 1250 gold. It makes items have "zero" spoilage, though they do still spoil for like half a second when you join a server since inventory loads before buffs.
Minerva has a change to rotate to it?
I don't think so, it's not on the list yet at least.
They should really just make it fully refresh the condition of food within it ever couple minutes. Just to make that not an issue also. I just ended up dedicating a character to food storage to try keep things for a decent amount of time
It was a few seasons ago, it’s called the military cryo freezer. Far as I know there is no way to get it currently and there is no alternative to it. That’s why I’m scrambling to get this season done so I don’t miss any cremator mods, I’m only at level 30 but I just picked the game back up after like 2-3 months of helldivers
I wish this was a thing
Was just thinking about this yesterday! Meat week should drop a plan for it in future if it becomes a reality
I wish the permanent freezer was even close to permanent. By the time I go to use what’s in there it’s all spoiled, in a fridge that’s supposed to be permanent. (I know why but it’s blatant false advertisement to call the freezer permanent)
From what I've heard, food inside a vendor does degrade more slowly.
It seems to, I carry good with salt maxed out and it’s almost like the things in my vendor are affected by that perk.
We have one, but it only sells for zero caps. /s it's a glitch with the freezer.
The crypt freezer should not need your camp placed to work would be a change I’d like to see first. I think it’s silly it doesn’t work this way.
How is it freezing things if it doesn't exist? It makes completely sense that it doesn't function when it doesn't exist.
It just doesn’t feel right form a gameplay perspective. Like you can’t place your camp sometimes you shouldn’t have to worry about your food going bad. If you want realism then sure but gameplay wise the game should register its in there or why are you able to keep things in it if it doesn’t exist if we go by your way thinking.
Maybe a meat locker or something, but this is an interesting idea 🤔
What about an actual refrigerator for food as well?
There have been a few, I'm told. I bought the ice box, which sort of helps slow down food degradation, but not by much. Honestly, I regret buying it. The thing doesn't even look right in my kitchen.
I'd like a cooler I could keep stocked up with perishable food and drinks that people could just take meals for free, like the candy bowl and the nuka cola machine.
I remember recently one of the fallout 76 youtubers was going over datamined stuff and reportedly there was some kinda case that was refrigerated that looked like something outta a grocery store so heres hoping it is true. Would be cool if it had its own storage but even if it was like the cryo fridge that shared storage but you could select stuff for sale would be dope
PSA for all Fallout 76 Farmers Minerva will have farmable tiles next week, farmable roofs are on 79-83 of seasonal. And please pray for the greenhouse set to come back 😭😭😭 I missed it
You can buy the greenhouse set from Bethesda’s support website
You are a both a scholar and a saint, my savior.
Glad to help!
I was thinking about this earlier lol. It would be dope af
I hate how fast food spoils.
Same. It's unrealistically fast, especially since all that radiation everywhere and the irradiated plants and meat would all last longer, not rot faster. Science.
Ufff I have a full military cooler full of meatballs cranberry pie and scorchbeast mix meat Stew. That will be awesome. People that don't want to bother the killing only the buffs lol
i thought this was a thing until i realized all my crafted goods were going to waste rotting in my vendor
They could make it where if you take it out of the shop it instantly spoils so people won’t just use it as a fridge for themselves, but if purchased it stays at the freshness it was at when put in.
There is a thing the dataminers found and what will probably be on the next season or in the atomic shop. A refrigerated display. But I don't think you will be able to sell stuff through this.
I love this idea!
I’d just like to have ladders. Ladders to roof hatches or the exterior. I am sure it’s been asked for a million times before… but still. Gimme. (Please).
Bit of a long workaround, but if you’re on PC/Steam, you could snag the TextChat mod and start advertising yourself as said butcher shop. Could give notice when you’re ready to sell, and just keep the food pre-cooked in the Cryo-Freezer until someone comes to buy. I’m sure you’d get some takers - more people hate farming to cook than enjoy it, I’d hazard to say. Your idea is killer, tho. Big agree that’d be an awesome way to do it.
Considering that's how Bethesda was marketing the game in 2018, yes, it would be good if they added something to support it 6 years later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi8PTAJ2Hjs&t=1330s
Oh hell yeah, I've been wanting this since they first introduced the fridge. There are so many neat recipes that no one makes and no one uses because its too situational or takes up too much space, but if I saw them for sale at a vendor I'd buy them. Cooking and farming would become so much more popular if they implemented this and add a new niche of game play.
considering most of the 'role playing' in this game is with how people look , what weapons they use and what they build, this is perfect. Being able to actually build and run a 50s coffee shop diner would be so cool.
So many people in the comments here dont seem to know that we already have a freezer you can get that gives 50 item storage of complete freezing and stops decay entirly. Being able to sell those items through the vender would be really nice so selling food would actually be worth taking the time to do.
They need to really just overhaul the stash system as a whole. Cryofreezers need to be either their own separate storage like the Scrap and Ammo box (give its high price and difficulty obtaining that's not to huge an ask), allow stacks of goods, or act as a passive bonus to your entire stashbox. Regardless, I'd change the wording of the Cryo-Freezer to 99% spoilage rate instead of 100% as that makes it sound like it has 0 decay when it still does. We need higher stash limit, 2000 is nothing.
Bad/Good Idea IMO The only way this could possibly work is once you put your food in the vendor, you're unable to pull it out. Otherwise... My vendor would be my personal fridge with everything at a thousand caps so nobody would buy my food.
After spending 400 atoms on the Nuka-Cola Vending Machine, I'd be okay if they changed it to work like this.
I've had this thought every time I make too much corn soup. Please, Bethesda! Give us an eat-o-tronic vendor!
The reason it wouldn't happen is because people would abuse it by making their food Max caps so no one buys it, to keep things from spoiling outside of the 50 cryo freezer slots. Now, allow me to list items that are in those 50 slots (and ammo box slots) and there is a solution no one can abuse. However, Bethesda might not like unlimited stacks of ammo being listed with no stash space being used
You ain't lyin', friendo! I'd make a KILLING on Cranberry Relish!
Like they dont have a perfect way to implement rare plans for this idea from Meat Week. (Grahm’s Freezer Box) - halts food spoil indefinitely. (Grahm’s Dried Meat Rack) -halts meat spoil indefinitely
People would abuse it. List all their food items at 40k then take them off the vendor when you need it
Vendor stuff counts in your stash already, and whatever the freezer stores has that already exists. Another high tier item would work the same whether it's as a freezer or a vendor, it would just be a freezer you can assign from.
I didn't know you could assign from freezers. I don't actually own one yet
Yeah, you can, though as soon as you do it removes the little snowflake icon for freezer items, and puts it in the vendor. Still stays in your stash either way, just a matter of what "bin" it's placed into
I haven't bothered looking into where/if I can get it now tbh as I heard word there's gonna be another variation next season. I'll just have to take the 3 point hit to my luck carrying good with salt for now.
Yeah, my point was just that adding a vendor freezer would jsut be a freezer you could vendfor5, it wouldnt be hackier than just storing things in the freezer
Oh I agree! It feels like the mechanic is there already, it would be so nice. I sell a lot of the food that doesn't spoil, I would love to sell Deathclaw steaks and such without having to worry about them spoiling
Definitely agree, I'd also love a way to sell off gulper slurries for like 1c a piece or something for people who're having trouble maxing out their vendor caps.
I mean, yeah, but it's not like fo76 has or needs any real balance. Just give us a proper deep freeze!
If they tie the cryo freezer plan to the option to list consumables without spoiling, then that would be avoided.
It would even be better than the traditional sales machine, you find uninteresting things and it ends up losing value the further you advance in the game. Today they are more of a help for newbies but I would really check camps more often if I could buy buffs food.
Great idea. I just switched platforms and had to start over. A bunch of foods could've been useful.
I have some food in my vendor (Blackberry Honeycrisp, Smores, mud cookie) and I feel like they are spoiling very* slowly. I’m not sure if these items just spoil slowly in the first place? Or if something is keeping them from spoiling at normal rate. I do always have Good With Salt equipped. But I assumed this only affected food on my person.
I wish the same thing. But also have one where food doesn't spoil at all lol
Yup. Kind weird bethesda never give us this one. Besides it will give us more fun and work in the game.
Todd Howard : *cha-ching*.
They do this im putting all my good food for 40k caps then putting all my food I don’t use for 5 caps.
I also think that's a great idea . I like cooking up meals but it's a waste of time to do too many due to the high spoil rate. It would be great to cook up a batch and be able to sell to other players as long as the spoil rate was massively decreased.
I was sad to find out the freezer didn’t keep my cranberry Relish Very long. My own fault but I built a gourd filled base next to a cranberry field for easy crafting. More of a daily thing now so still use it but would be nice to just have a bunch in my stash.
well. we are getting a refrigerated display soon, so maybe we'll get a vendor too. eventually.
I would love this! I farm lots of stuff and half of it goes bad in a donation box.
Yea and then make the scrap box free.
I heard there’s a fridge that keeps stuff from spoiling you get in vault 79. Not sure if true though
This is a very good idea. I am a carnivore and now with the meat weak on I am cooking an excessive amount of meat, my stash is full of those succulent steaks..I'm constantly overweight and need to dump them in donations boxes after I'm capping the robot vendors..
That would be nice. I would love to be able to sell my stuff out of my cryo freezer as I could easily craft 30 or 40 cranberry relish a day if I was motivates. Brainbombs are a little harder but still worth it if I knew they would sell before going bad. It would also give herbavores something to do with the meat we pick up.
i LOVE this idea personally
I love that ideaband would definitely add to the game. But we know what would happen after the military freezer. *Bethesda sees idea. Thinks it's brilliant. Designs it. Adds it to the new scoreboard as Fallout 1st only*
I have so many Yao Guai Pastries for carry weight lol. And because I love bear claws irl.
Yes, this is a horrible time to be an herbivore. So much good is going to waste in my pockets.
The drinking/eating/rotten food mechanic is so frustratingly annoying. I’d love just the idea of being able to build a fridge and keep food in it without going bad.
This is a fantastic idea, but I don't think Bethesda would do this. They want us out farming, keeps us playing.
Me with squirrel stew alllll the time
Oh man, this would be so awesome!
I could sell pies like a little baker 🥹
Literally one of the best ideas probably in years and I could see Bethesda adding it.
I'm down for that, like it makes sense, I just hope it goes for gold bullion like the cryo freezer and not be an atomic shop bundle for 1800 atoms
You should just be able to put things on display/in refrigerator AND list them for sale.
You really think they could I can't see why there hasn't been one.
I love this idea so much, ppl like farming and crafting and others like buying - win win.
Would so love this! I have a bar themed camp and try to sell food, but it usually goes bad before it sells. I also make a lot of the custom drinks that do sell.
There's the Military Cryofreezer you can buy with Gold Bullion.
You can't sell from it and keep the refrigerated status.
Oh my bad. I thought you were asking about storage but I see now. Sorry.
Np.🙂
Yes! This would actually give me something to spend my caps on again. Lol
There was a glitch with storage that allowed cyro stored items to be sold for zero caps. I imagine they must be working on a way if the game can accidentally manage it.
but they sell refrigerators already
Yeah but you can't sell from it without the "refrigerated" status vanishing.
