Are worn/damaged/badly damaged food items going to mean anything in the future?

Title^^ To me it seems pretty unrealistic that badly damaged rice would be the equivalent of a bag of pristine rice, you'd think that the badly damaged one would be at least be missing rice or at least cut open or maybe even stale, just wondering if there's any word on this by Dean or any comments/confirmations on this already.

Most likely. Everything is WIP at the moment.

It could just mean it's been through a lot, and the rice is all crushed up inside while the package looks worn and faded.

You can't eat ruined food, tested today. IMO, damaged, etc. means that the package is damaged and/or the food has been crushed and ruined means the package is leaking and/or the food got contaminated with something you don't want to eat.

Pretty sure it already does do something, here are some examples of what i have figured out.

 

Clothes : Pristine will negate a bullet, you wont bleed, worn will negate most damage but you will bleed, damaged will negate a bit fo the damage but you will bleed out very quickly, badly damaged, pretty much ruined will negate some of the damage but you would need to bandage very quickly.

 

Food : As a new spawn if the first thing i find is a pristine bag of rice it will turn my energized to light green straight away, if i find a damage bag of rice it will only take it to dark green energized.

 

This is what i have noticed and as you can tell the condition of things DOES affect how well it performs in whatever job it is doing, the better the clothes the more damage you can take, the better the food the more energy it will provide. There are of course lots of variables to this like one example is what bullets you are getting shot by etc.. but overall they do already mean different things, you should run some tests with some friends and find out for yourself.
