Grain storage

[Saberwulfy 12]

What the methods already implemented to prevent decay of grains?

[Regnilse 21]

Upon researching the decay rate of grain I found it was the same as vegetables(old wiki info), I though it was one of the slowest.  Unfortunately I know of none, other than storing it in vessels in a chest and trimming decay a few times a season. I await the day we can seal grain in barrels to reduce decay, this would be akin to bins.

seal it with the barrel's bottom 3 full stacks of something to keep cold, or humidity away, or whatever..

I'm fairly certain temperature affects food decay and altitude affects temperature. Find a very tall mountain and build a warehouse/silo at the peak. I'm thinking you'll need to be above z -/+14000 and y +225.

Personally I fantasize about multi-block granaries. The mud bricks that currently have no recipe or use, combined with the recently added trapdoors would make an ideal combination along with a certain set of specific mechanics I've been tossing around in my head for a week or so now. Haven't decided if I want to necro the old granary thread with a massive post or start a new one all together.

What in the world gave you the idea that this would work? Because it won't.

 

Put it in a small ceramic vessel to cut the decay rate in half, and then store it in a location that has a low light level, and therefore low temperature (Both which are seen via F3). It makes absolutely no difference if that small vessel is in a barrel, in a chest, in a large vessel, or on the ground, and it certainly does not matter what else is stored in the container along with it.

haha calm down kitty. I know how food decay works. I just throw ideas!
