Eating Food Repairs Hard Hats

[Blades421 66]

so after i ate some food i noiced my hard hat was pristine (it was so clean and shiney on my head), wich i thought was weird...maybe just a 1 time glitch.

 

But after dying and finding a completley different hat and seeing it happen a second time im begining to wonder if anyone else is expierencing this?

Haha, that's quite an odd bug. Now I wish I had picked up that badly damaged green hard hat I found earlier.

I just found a damaged green hard hat and tried it out. I ate a can of tuna, but it stayed damaged. Afterwards I drank some sodas. Next thing I know when I looked at inventory it is pristine. So either the effect isn't instantaneous, or it is drinking that repairs it.

well in real life hard hats have this tube that connects to your head, and when you eat the vitamins and nutrients repair it, how else wuld people with hardhats be immune to fall damage or falling objects? and in every cartoon you see them eating on a steel girder

My hard hat improved itself too.  It was damaged.  I got hit by a zombie, drank a can of soda, and  ate some beans then noticed it was pristine.  I wasnt sure which thing had caused it to though.
