It has always peeved me and my friends that eggs only last a few days in Vintage Story.

In real life, unwashed farm-fresh eggs normally last over a month unrefridgerated. In my home country the law says eggs must be sold within 28 days of being laid. 
I read a scientific paper on the shelf life of eggs just to get this right lol.

This mod is a simple patch that makes eggs last 10/12/30 days instead of 5. They will last significantly longer when in a cellar.

maybe it is another mod, but doesnt work for me either. even with new eggs. idk what mod would do that aside from maybe expanded foods. but i wouldn't think it would changed spoil rates.

This mod didn’t work for me. The eggs still lasted 5 days.

The mod doesn't affect existing eggs, you have to get new ones

From what LunaGore said I think its only fair that I upload a few versions so people can pick and choose. I think the base version would be 10 days (little over a normal month). I'll also make a 12 day version. Its just 1 number I need to change, however adding configuration would be a lot of work compared to just adding a few files to choose from.

I appreciate all the criticism!

Love the concept, but 30 days is simply way too long. Most folks (myself included) play with the default setting of 9 days per month. Realistically, eggs should last however long the player/server owner has set the month length at.

It should probably be configurable since time passes differently in VS than real life. With the default 9-day months, a 30-day egg takes almost a third of a year before it expires.

If anyone is curious on how to adjust it based on their selected month length. For a config the mod author would need to do a bit more work than just a patch mod.

It confused/annoyed me too. Not enough to motivate me to make a mod, but I'm happy to use one :) Thank you!

I love these kinds of mods. Especialy when it comes to little things that add to realism. We cant expect devs to research every single aspect of life, thank you for carring enough for such insignificant part of the game <3
