      Dude. You need to think about these stuffs also can degrade.
      They can't store much of things in long period.
      It's useless if they store like.. 1 Ton of mango if these mango gonna rot in like.. 1 week later. All those abundant mango will be a mount of waste.
      And also the wood. The wood can rot because the water(humidity), microanimals, moss, and fungi.
      That's why village with small population never have big storage building. Because it is useless if those items rot.
      For this video, the blob is just one blob. He don't need to have some kind of storage room. Simply put these resources in his house is enough. He don't have refrigerator either tho to store the mango.

      It's kind of the same thing:
      Replace wood with time till gratification and mangos with amount of gratification. Then rewrite the happiness function, so that more time means less happiness.
      The blob wouldn't necessarily choose to wait. It's actions are based on the happiness function.
