Worms

You can use worms to catch fish but can't eat them？Why not using some Bear Grylls' old tricks?

You used to be able to, not sure if it's changed

There's no such option in DayZ

They must have changed it then in recent updates. You could cook worms and use them as heat packs or eat them. I always thought the heat pack trick was a bit of an exploit really.

since 1.8 when I joined it never existed, I looked at some old forums and here it says it made you sick, and they removed it a little after version 1.0

It was in for quite a while and never made me sick personally but it didn't give much nutrition. More useful as a heat pack

You could eat them, and get sick.  

I wonder, if you could still eat them, if one could build up immunity high enough so that you could just live off of worms.    Imagine a diet of vitamins and earthworms.  That would be the perfect meta.  Probably why we can't eat them now.  😛

I know this is meant as suggestion for vanilla but since the devs don't seem too interested in improving the survival elements of the game, shouldn't it be possible to add this back in via mod? Already thought about doing it but have no clue how. Would be enough if in desperate situations you could dig up some worms and then just barely make it until you find some decent food. I think thats one of the things SCUM does better, where you can search logs and stuff for maggots or whatever if you're desperate.

if you're desperate then go and kill a dude in Kami and then chew his bones. You'll receive similar bonuses for being desparate. Dayz is all about hunting 🙂

I don't understand what you're on about. Thought it was supposed to be a survival game, all that r*tarded KoS PvP crap and the apparent focus on it ruin it though. Doesn't even seem like its on purpose, just lazy (or cheap) game development.
Also eating other players gives you an incurable disease, which shouldn't be the case  when digging up worms (which is like one of the most basic survival skills/techniques, so weird it isn't implemented to begin with).
Dunno how many times I've just starved because anything remotely edible was looted, animal spawns not there or in the process of repsawning etc. 

[nemorus 257]

But worms are edible... For fishes. You get some juicy mackerel in the process. It's hard to die in this game when you can basically fish forever.

Yes, it should be possible to add this via a mod.

Starvation is not a common complaint here.  Maybe you're unlucky.  If you're at the point where you have to eat worms to survive then maybe you're doing something wrong, or need more experience.  I find that many people who die of starvation are trying to loot too fast.

[TJSneed88 1]

I've got like 1300h played in DayZ, of course not ruling out that I could improve my own gameplay somewhat, but even with for the most part knowing what you're doing its sometimes pretty random if you survive or not, which shouldn't be the case unless you're completely new to the game... IMHO anyway. Fruit seems to be pretty rare to find, cans often are too, fishing (as someone mentioned above) requires finding certain items first, as does hunting. Sometimes you can get lucky and find a half harvested garden plot or something, but still. I just think it would be a good addition to the survival element of the game. Maybe searching fallen trees for larvae too. Basically some of the things SCUM does better, even if I prefer DayZ.

Sure all this can be fixed via mods, but it would be better if the vanilla game wasn't so lacking that to get the best out of it you're practically required to play on modded servers (that are more often than not ruined with mods like Unlimited Stamina, poorly done weapon mods, or are buggy etc.).

Yeah I remember being able to eat them but a chance of getting sick. Collect rope or make rope, make a fishing pole and craft an improvised hook. Use the worms to catch fish, much better nutrients.

Anyway, with the new update 1.13 there is more focus on survival against zombies and elements. It is actually challenging to stay alive and make it north. Really good improvement, oh and from what I hear duping is fixed! 😉 It will make it a lot harder for the PvP campers when they actually have to survive and loot for items vs duping! HELL YEAH!

[lemmac 101]

yeah the only times i've died of starvation is when starting as a freshie, at night, in the rain and trying to sprint half the map to my dead body and its loot... that and through sickness of course 😉
