Compost should be changed

[Laskuna]

Its unrealistic to making compost in sealed barrels.  
This should be just a pile of a vegetation/ rots, withh options to change flowers or grass into compost. Can work same but add new model, something like a foto. Just a open box. 
Visuals can use reverse sand panning - growning block mechanic with wegetation texture, + changing to rot texture when start procesing maybe.

Maybe add option to change compost blocks into "compost fertilizer" ( powder ).

I also think you should be able to put non-rotted food into compost bins to rot, and it should rot faster there. Maybe as encouragement to send anything you know will rot to a composter, food could spoil faster if the chest contained any rots, making you have a real reason to identify what you won't eat before it rots. My berry stores rot 90% of the time, and I lose a lot of meat too, and I think having the ability and the need to realize before they rot and move them to compost would make the game a little more immersive and fun. (also I'd love a denser fruit source than berries, especially because my grain mostly goes to my animals, I think the ability to turn dough and a lot of berries into pie would be great, or a way to make juices and wines for those nutrients.)

I like the idea of added unrotten food to a composter.

 

I think adding the additional mechanic of rotting food causing other food to rot quicker would be an "unfun" element for a large number of players (myself included).  While it adds realism, sometimes adding realism detracts from the fun of a game.
