Food Preservation Pod

A compact storage module designed to significantly slow down food spoilage. The Food Preservation Pod would allow players to safely store cooked food and raw edible items for longer periods, making long exploration trips less punishing and more strategic.
The goal is not to remove the survival aspect, but to reduce the constant pressure of returning to base only because food is expiring. It would work as a mid-game utility structure that improves long-distance exploration and preparation without breaking balance.
