Knives?

I can't understand why they changed all of them to suck so bad at opening cans of food.

To put more value on the can opener.

It has to do with item status as well. The more damage, the more hassle opening cans. Have you ever tried opening a can with a dull, rusted knife? Not easy!

Stab top of can with dull knife, rotate can 90 degrees, stab top of can with dull knife again, pry up the four corners, receive beans.

 

Couldn't help myself ;)

I can understand that, but it is really quite easy to open all of a can with a knife, so opening a can with one should be good not matter how much they want to put value on the can opener

Yes, at the cost of sharpness. Not a big deal though. But last time I mixed a can and a knife I put the knife through my thumb instead of the can  <_<

I hear the dev's have decided to add this as a new result of opening cans with damaged knives. It will be called the Gews, and it will show a pony hoof spewing blood when you attempt it.

Dude, I am pretty confident you could open a can of beans with an old rusty crowbar, let alone a knife. With none of the contens spiling.

Opening a can with an axe -> 100%

I am pretty much sure that if I imagine a real apocalypse I see no can openers there. Ever. :D

Best was when opening with axe gave you 114% :D

 

Regardless... you CAN open cans even without a canopener. Altho ist a loud and timeconsuming affair.

Knives also don't seem to be able to cut out seeds from vegetables. At least I tried it on a green bell pepper with a kitchen knife and a meat cleaver and there was no option, just the regular "swap item" (teal highlight).

 

Or am I doing something wrong?

 

On a side note, yesterday was the first time ever I had to grow my own food. I'm actually beginning to think this game might become a survival sim after all. ;)
