Food is getting redone... right?

[Influence_X 51]

I'm just wondering if a food rework is in the pipeline at some point?

Like, why does dry rice refill both water and hunger?

Will food ever decay? Poison/bad food (especially mushrooms)?

Yes! It’s bound to happen surely? I mean, rotten food was in the legacy engine, right? Fruit, veg and meat shouldn’t last very long. I also notice there is a refrigerator in the game files. The description says it makes your food last longer. 

Didn’t rice severely dehydrate you pre .63, too? I’m sure I saw a video of someone nearly dying after being force fed 3 bags of rice... lol.

Powdered milk is another one. Would love to be able to create proper meals, too. A stew for example, you could cut up some meat, mushrooms, veg, etc. and boil it in a cooking pot.

I guess there are bigger fish to fry (lolol) at the moment.

food         -  sure it would be nice for food to reflect reality (currently its always pristine). The fruit, mushrooms and growing stuff can maybe reflect the time on the

                     server. Green when first spawned through to rotten just before it despawns . . .

Hopefully a whole raft of things will have their lifetimes reviewed. With the following bug fix - https://feedback.bistudio.com/T135100 - Duct tape glitch reported as fixed (no release date yet) a whole raft of things are likely to be affected.

Axe            - is it five trees? Its been a while since I built a base. The hatchet was my go to tool as you could repair it easily and use it as a hammer and an axe . .

Hammer   - three panels? as above. Some way of repairing it would be nice . . . .

Knives          - goes badly damaged far too fast

tin opener - eight tins is it?

shoes        - Ive just walked from Kamenka to Cherno (something like eleven klicks) . I must have repaired my shoes over ten times . ..

clothes      - After almost every encounter I have with an infected person, some article of my clothing or equipment is in a damaged state. On the stated walk, I encountered

                      more than a few Infected who decided to engage. Must be approaching 30 infected  ...  my steak knife, clothes. backpack, shoes must be just duct tape now . . .. .

silencers   - silencer goes badly damaged far too soon, that goes for the fabricated silencer too

guns          - gun similarly goes badly damaged far too soon

did I miss anything?

With the potential ending of the Duct tape glitch, the game will require you to be carrying vast amounts of repair materials, either lots of duct tape rolls or separate toolkits - Leather toolkit, sewing kit, duct tape, gun cleaning kit, epoxy putty. electronic repair kit etc. Especially for those of us who usually stay on the edges of the map far from towns . . .

It would be nice if these repair kits also had their lives extended. Instead of four uses, if it could become like the chlorine tablets (10 tabs) or better - 20 uses ? Maybe also a visual condition light green orange or red above the item instead of mousing over it or seeing the deterioration? As it stands now,  I stop and take stock of every item before I move on . ..  . after an encounter. Thats a lot of time with me standing there playing tetris with my equipment . . .

On a side note, it would be nice if the car radiator had a level indicator . . . .
