Lets say you have some food you wish to save for an emergency. There will be the option to travel to the ice mountains and store your food there in a cave.
It will cost like 20% energy and you can only travel there once a day. you can carry like 10 carcasses on the trip to store it in the ice cave. Its expiration date will double there. When the food stored there is soon to expire you would get i message saying: "(insert lion's name here) has remembered about the food he stored in the ice cave it must be soon to expire, better go retrieve it." It will also cost 20% energy to retrieved the food but you can also deposit some food while you're there.

edit:
Maybe, it could cost 100sb to "build/prepare" the cave for storage. It could last for one month maybe or you could pay 2GB to make it a permanent storage.

edit:
Clearing this, when food is taken out of storage it will revert back to original expiration days, example:

food has 2 days, you put in storage now it has 4 days: one day passes and you take it out it will have 2 days; or 3 days passes and you take it out, it has 1 day.

Tau's suggestions:

-Maybe it could be something like a storage branch but for extending the life of food?

100 SB for four spots. Another 100 for four more. Etc. etc.

-Maybe the extension could have a limit, like....3-5 days? But it only lasts while you have it in the storage? That way no one can fudge and give all their food 15 days, etc. (its actually what i had in mind somewhat, though i prefer expiration date doubling, that way food expiring tomorrow can only have 1 extra day x3 i cleared this up above)

For example:
You have a Carcass with only 2 days left.
You put it in storage, it now has 7 days.
You take it out in 5 days, it reverts to expiring the next day.

That way you can still feed it, but you can't just abuse it by switching food in and out so give it all more days.

---
If the ice mountains bothers you guys then we can just say that its an unusually cold cave in an unknown location ;P

That's a great idea, considering most of us don't feed our lions every day. It's a better way to save stress from your lions running away...

It should cost 5 GB for a month pass to go there. It would help our economy a bit...

5 GB is too much and the food will expire anyway, it just will last longer.
Travel could be once a week and still cost energy, but what if the food is soon to expire and you cant retrieve it? and I would never use GB to store the food when i could just buy a food bundles.

I could see maybe 100 SB for opening storage for a week or a month, but I agree that 5 GB is way too much.

I myself am not sure about this.
The game is meant to be played... It isnt hard to send your lionesses to hunt a few times a day, and you will have enough food to last until next feeding.

I myself am not supporting because that kind of beats one point of the game. Play it in order to survive and keep all your lions. The greater your pride, the more you have to play. If you cant play as much, then dont have a large pride. Or buy food from others.

Personally, I don't have trouble feeding, but I do wish I could extend the life on my "snack critter" ones. I'd love an option for that. I like to try and feed smaller critters for more chances at stats. If I get a bunch, I find myself having to get rid of them when I'd really rather be able to feed them and just need them to last a few more days.

I have no problem keeping all my lions(sometimes i have over 80) fed and with full mood. I just like the idea to extend the expiration date, I'm a bit of a food hoarder. And like Tau said it would be useful for extending the snacks' expiration.

There are no ice mountains in africa so I'm not sure if that would work

I think people just need to play the game is all.

Actually, Mount Kilimanjaro has ice all year round. So there are some icy mountains. -winks-

I was actually thinking more like storing it in a cache than an ice box.

My take on this ultimately is, that 'refrigerating' food is the property and action of humans. You are lions. You dont know what traits and advantages the cold temperatures give.

Plus think about it. If you go to the only icy mountain, your food is going to rot by the time you make it there anyway.
