CMT1984 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I assume it's just a bug, but rather annoying none the less. I got in to the cannery workshop and cooked some wolf meat. Ate a piece and got the risk of parasites, slept for the night and woke up to having parasites. Luckily I found 12 antibiotics around here because I haven't carried them since I got level 5 cooking about 100 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makex Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) I just consumed bear meat with level 5 cooking and it was fine. Edited March 3, 2020 by Makex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteloud Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 If you eat raw wolf meat at Level 5 cooking, you get intestinal parasites. (I have just tested that). Perhaps you accidentally clicked on a piece of raw predator meat instead of cooked meat and ate that. I have done that a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, what happens if I eat cooked wolf meat while I have parasites? Food is scarce at BI and wolf has been my main diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratvox Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 If you have parasites eat the predators, because there's no further harm that can be done to you. Once you clear it up, go back to your vegetarian ways (i.e. eating vegetarians ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I couldn't eat predator meat then I'd probably be dead on this almost 200 day run with 200+ rounds of ammo ready to be crafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothSkunk Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The only way to get parasites once you have level 5 cooking is to eat predator meat that's raw. Your chance of infection immediately jumps to 75% when doing so. Do so again, and it rises to 100%. If you're 100% sure that you did not eat raw predator meat, then it's a bug and should not have happened. I find it odd that you're the only one reporting such a bug, though. And even so, if you got it from eating cooked predator meat, you should still only have a small percentage chance initially, rather than jumping right to infection.

Yes eating raw meat is possible, and if I'm the only one with the problem then I'd say it's probable. But I did eat it directly off the stove, and I think you can only do that if it's cooked. I'll have to check that out next time I'm on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTC-10 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Usually if you are in cooking mode and hit space bar with the meat on the cursor that should result in hasty cooking until done. You might review what you did for the only way I could conceive of you actually eating raw meat under the stated conditions (short of some glitch) would be if the stove's fire had gone out (so cooking is paused) and you didn't realize it (but that probably didn't happen as you would have likely posted about making a mistake rather than 'what happened'?).

Ok yes, that's correct. If the fire burns out it says cooking paused and the X button (console) will still let you eat it. I don't remember at all if that fire burned out, I usually take torches or finish it out with boiling some water though. I should have hit the record what happened button so I could review it, I will if something like that happens again. Also, I was experimenting with raw fish and gave myself food poisoning. On the Status screen it said "Raw Coho Salmon" was the cause. On my parasites screenshot it just says "infected meat," shouldn't that say raw too if I did eat raw meat?

GothSkunk Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 All predator meat is infected, cooked or not. Level 5 cooking just cooks out the infection from cooked meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
