A composter is a craftable container.
Usage
Making compost
The composter is used to convert rotten food into compost. Rotten food left in the composter will overtime become compost, which can be accessed by right-clicking, which will display the amount of compost as a percentage. If the compost level is 10% or more, an empty sack can be used to "Get Compost", taking 10% and turning the sack into a compost bag, which can then be used to fertilize crops, allowing them to grow quicker.
2% of the composter's capacity is equal to 1 unit, therefore, a composter can hold up to 50 units (10 compost bags).
There is a 10% chance when rotten food is converted into compost, for a worm to appear in the composter.
Poisonous food can be put in the composter without having any negative impact on the plants or indirectly on the player.
Food has to reach the rotten state into the composter before it can start to be deleted from this container. (or rather transformed into compost)
A good strategy to fill the composter quickly if the player doesn't have a farm yet is to use the rotten/poisonous berries and mushrooms s/he would forage. The player can also loot restaurants, fridges or any other place containing rotten food. Once the player has a farm producing enough food, the excess can simply be put into the composter.
Storage
Since a composter is a container with a capacity of 50, any item can be placed into it, however only rotten food will be converted. Allowing it to be used as a makeshift storage container.
