Honey does not rot

[Jerimee]

Summary

SUMMARY: Content "honey no longer rots"

Purpose of change

Mark rotting false, despite edible being true, for honey.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Perhaps I've misunderstood what rotting boolean is meant to flag.

Testing

None!

Additional context

Shelf life for commercial honey has been established at around two years (essentially forever in game time). Honey stored in sealed containers can remain stable for decades and even centuries!

Materials with edible true almost always have rotting true. Rare exceptions might include salt, honey, some grains (rice?), mable syrup, vinegar, and arguably leather.

There is no such thing as "essentially forever in game time", if it takes 10 years to degrade, we make it take 10 years to degrade.

[Jerimee]

Does it then follow that when edible is true, rotting should always be true?

[Zireael07]

Salt, leather and probably vinegar do not rot, so it's not a true assumption.

[Jerimee]

A quick google: Table salt has a shelf life of 5 years, and white vinegar is like honey; it lasts 100+ years if stored properly. But I think materials is either storage neutral or, more likely, implies no storage.

On this point I'm highly confused, as liquids without a container diffuse immediately and evaporate quickly. I'll try to get clarification on how the code works and then update the doc.
