Wolfarus 7 Posted February 2, 2014 Is there any benefit to eating a pristine can of -whatever-, vs eating one thats badly damaged? Increased chance of getting sick from the dinged up can of food/water/soda? you get less servings from a less-then-quality item? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Spider 235 Posted February 2, 2014 Don't know man, but from my experience, I think it might. I actually ate a pristine rotten kiwi, just to see what would happen, but nothing happened. I ate other rotten foods before though and they hurt me, so I don't know, but I'm guessing it might. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfarus 7 Posted February 2, 2014 Eating rotten fruit is never a good idea >.> Though ive yet to see a negative effect from eating a worn/badly damaged can of food, though. Was just wondering if there is a drawback to that now, or if its planned to put in the chance of..say..food poisoning, depending on the can's condition.

Crazy_Spider 235 Posted February 2, 2014 Pfft, what's wrong with eating a rotten fruit? The little green and black spots on it make me think of chocolate! Seriously though, I don't know if food poisoning is even in the game. Most of the things in standalone don't change based on their condition. The only thing that matters at the moment is gun parts, I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfarus 7 Posted February 2, 2014 I've heard/read that eating rotten fruit will make you sick, and thus players(bandits) have taken to using them on tied-up victims/unconscious victims. And since this game is trying to be as realistic as possible, makes sense that outright rotten food would be bad for you. Havnt heard/or read anything about the condition-effect of canned food though.. hence my question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drsheepbringer 10 Posted February 2, 2014 Ruined food will be ruined in the next patch. At the moment just don't eat rotten fruits :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Korsbaek 1778 Posted February 2, 2014 You die from rotten fruit... I don't think there's a difference between pristine and ruined food right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teufel937 49 Posted February 2, 2014 I think the status of foods should give between 100% energy and 'x'% per level of quality, and if a slight chance of getting sick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juggalo (DayZ) 1 Posted February 2, 2014 I hope that they increase the food loot and/or the conditions of it then. I eat a lot of "ruined" food atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
