Is cooked moster meat potentialy fatal?

[crowell00]

I was at about 50% hunger and 30% health at night with a (slot) full storage box open in UI. I ate some cooked monster meat from my inventory and Instantly died at 15 days

Possible bug otherwise I guess.

[LadyD]

Nope.

As mentioned. Intentionally has a chance to damage you. Monster meat cooked/raw can be added to crock pots or combined to no longer be fatal.

[crowell00]

Yep, just noticed after restarting that it hurt me when eating it. Bummer -1 for inattention

[yiffy]

it's not fatal as long as the monster meat doesn't touch your stomach

[Joyousterror]

If you feed it to your pigmen. Proceed to kill and eat them. It's technically no longer fatal.

There's also a vegetable that damages you right? That smelly green thing, forgot it's name.

There is indeed, you are talking about the Durian.

[Sotanaht]

Cooked monster meat is actually how I died in my very first game.

Is there any decent use for the Durian?

[501105]

Well it heals your stomach a bit (10 I think) even though it damages your health (6 damage) and it can be used to cook a few basic recipes with the crock pot.

If you cook the monster meat in a crock pot it removes the negative effects of the meat. If I ever get any that's where it goes pretty much instantly. It requires four pieces of meat to cook and is worth having around as one meaty stew refills like 40 hunger points (approximate), however the stews do not stack.

the same rules apply for the durian as for monster meat, put it in the crock pot, and you are fine, cook it on the fire, and you risk killing yourself.

If you cooked 4 corn would you get popcorn??

If you just use Durian in a crock pot I'm pretty sure it still has -health, although I could definitely be wrong. Maybe if I put it with a bunch other things to make a veggie dish..

not if you do it in a crock pot, there, they just count as vegetable, if you want to make popcorn, you need to use the corn on a fire and cook it there.

I just tried it with one durian and 3 other fillers, and it did not harm my health at all. since I only have 3 in stock I can't try it with four, but if I may make an educated guess, I would say that will also not hurt you and just end in giving you a ratatouille, like other durian combinations too.

I only use monster meat to "make friends" or in some extreme cases; but always eat it raw...

I suggest you stop doing that, while most times it just hurt's you to eat monster meat, there actually are several reports of people dieing instantly after eating one monster meat, while having full health. No idea if it is a bug or intended, and if it is a bug, I don't know if it was fixed meanwhile, but as of now, I would not suggest to eat any monster meat at any time, unless you use it as crockpot ingredient.

[Chocolate Tree]

good to know that

I very rarely do it though, but I guess you're right

cheers

Ouch that is painfull, I keep it in chests to prevent such situations and only use it to combine with honey in the crockpot.

As others have experienced, I died from cooked monster meat. I had around 20 health after tangling with a tentacle, but i was victorious. Headed back to my base and cooked it, fed one of the two pieces I had to the science machine, and headed off to get more food to heal my wounds. and then I though; I wonder what the effect of cooked monster meat is. (I knew from before that raw monster meat hurt you). I ate it and heard the death sound. "Well, I guess I'm not doing that again..."

[xandru8]

ok i see a bit of contradiction but in the end yes its bad for youre health i only use it to get exp points but if you eat it it fills some what youre hunger barr but it takes youre health down, so my point on it don`t eat it ... reserch it lol
