Rotten Foods

[maka (DayZ) 4]

Ive been playing a little experimental over the weekend and the lack of food on a full server is challenging i guess.

So ive been running around trying to scavenge berrys or what not find some in a bush at this stage im starving to death, i eat said berrys and get a funny taste in my mouth...then about an hour or so later trying ever so hard to find charcoal tablets as they are the only solution im told i Die, not from an M4 a sniper or even a zed, by about 3 berrys? is this realistic? i mean cmon yeh make it so your sick for a while and you need to have max food and max water then you should recover the sickness. This goes for Rotten bananas too i was poisoned by one of those also.

 

What im saying is, slowly dying from a banana or a berry is kinda...wrong.

Only wrong because you ate a rotten banana. whore.

All I've got to say is, if you eat a kiwi irl, and you get a funny taste in your mouth, stock up on pepto.

Some berries are poisonous.  Don't know exactly which ones but I think it's the sambuca or whatever it's called.

so instead of dying you want diarrhea or what? all the rotten food i've eaten only gave me a funny taste.i never died by them. maybe you had bad luck ^^

Look at it this way: You were already in a bad state, starving to death and clearly NOT healthy. You then eat something poisonous, which has a chance of making you sick. That sickness will now have a much easier time killing you considering you were already in a bad state. It's possible to live through sickness (especially light food poisoning), but it's not very easy if you're already on the verge of death.  Your suggestion of making it so you can survive food poisoning/sickness is already in the game.

 

Look on the bright side, you now know what berry bush to avoid!  :D

I occasionally eat rotten fruit (haven't tried the berries yet) if I'm hard pressed for food in-game. I however make sure I always carry charcoal tablets with me for such occasions.

I had a friend feed me a rotten banana when we were screwing around. Full blood, hydrated and fed. Took roughly an hour until I was playing good ol' GreyZ.

 

Thankfully my friend was kind enough to scour the map for charcoal tabs for me, and I lived. Still, pretty ridiculous.

Just wait until hunting is in and someone doesn't cook their meat properly:
