"Anytime a mouse is not attracted to a trap during a hunt there is a chance for the cheese to turn stale. Some components are built using harmful chemicals that increase the odds of spoiling bait. Traps with a positive cheese effect help reduce the likelihood of cheese turning stale."

The cheese effect of bases and weapons determines the rate at which baited cheese goes stale. The cheese effect is calculated by adding the effect of both the base and weapon together. For example, pairing a Stone Base (Fresh Effect), with a Mouse DeathBot (Stale Effect), results in a cheese effect of "No Effect".

A baited cheese has a chance of turning stale whenever it fails to attract a mouse, regardless of the cheese effect. Only the currently baited cheese is under the cheese effect. All other cheese in your inventory is not affected. Thus the time since you purchased the cheese also has no bearing on when it will go stale.

A by-product of cheese going stale is Stale Cheese, a crafting item. Players can pick up different kinds of stale cheese, depending on the type of cheese that has gone stale.

Possible Variations

As of version 2.3.1, cheese effects have been changed to variations of "Fresh" and "Stale". Combinations of these result in cheese effects that include:

  • Über Stale
  • Ultimately Stale
  • Insanely Stale
  • Extremely Stale
  • Very Stale
  • Stale
  • No Effect
  • Fresh
  • Very Fresh
  • Extremely Fresh
  • Insanely Fresh
  • Ultimately Fresh
  • Über Fresh

Über Fresh is currently the maximum freshness level a trap combination can reach, even with a Gingerbread House Surprise (Über Fresh) paired with a Polar Base (Insanely Fresh), a Gingerbread Base (Insanely Fresh) or a Dehydration Base (Insanely Fresh).

Über Stale is currently the maximum staleness(minimum freshness) level a trap combination can reach, even with an Arcane Capturing Rod Of Never Yielding Mystery (Insanely Stale) paired with a Magma Base (Insanely Stale).
