Vintage Story Cellar Builder & Perish Rate Calculator
A proper cellar is one of the most confusing early-game mechanics. Configure your room below to calculate your Cellar Score and see exactly how long each food type will last vs. room temperature storage.
Room Configuration
Stone is better than wood
Each window −0.1 to score
+0.05 per block (capped at +0.2)
Each wooden wall block −0.05 vs stone baseline
Cellar Score

Status
Optimal
Your cellar meets the optimal threshold (score ≥ 0.9). Maximum preservation active.
Food Preservation at Your Cellar Score
| Food | Room Temp | Your Cellar | Perfect Cellar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw Meat | 3 d | 17 d | 15 d |
| Cooked Meat | 5 d | 28 d | 25 d |
| Cheese | 10 d | 56 d | 50 d |
| Berries | 5 d | 28 d | 25 d |
| Bread | 7 d | 39 d | 35 d |
| Vegetables | 8 d | 45 d | 40 d |
| Porridge | 4 d | 22 d | 20 d |
| Cooked Fish | 6 d | 34 d | 30 d |
Formula: preservation_multiplier = 1 + (cellar_score × 4). Score 1.0 = 5× room temperature.
