Poisonous Cooked Wobsters


Recommended Posts

 I find that it doesn't make sense to have a cooked wobster safe to eat if you cooked it while it was already dead. Like real lobsters, it should become poisonous when it dies, so one should cook it while it's still alive. Poisonous dead wobsters and their cooked variant could be useful for poisoning wildbores, or they could be used as bait for crabs. Then again, these are wobsters, so maybe their anatomy is different.

Dead lobsters aren't poisonous, they just spoil very quickly. What would the point of poisoning wildbores be?

 Oh... then dead wobsters should spoil quickly as well. Poisoning wildbores on the other hand can help if you're trying to kill one quickly. Then again, the meat will end up stale.

 On further research, it's apparently dangerous to cook dead lobsters, because dead lobsters have a harmful bacteria that can't be killed with cooking, so I guess they're poisonous?

Provided what you say about the bacteria is correct, that can only means *spoiled* dead lobsters are poisonous. Dead but well preserved lobsters are not.

Edit: Where I live the supermarket have dead lobsters available.

You learn something new everyday. I guess the dead lobster has to be preserved quickly before the bacteria spreads. But what am I saying, we're talking about Don't Starve, not biology! 

Poison is only good for speeding up spoil time of the food mobs drop. For example a poisoned spider would drop a stale monster meat instead of fresh monster meat. 

 

As for poisoned food, I like the idea of using food to deal with different mobs. Maybe food that stuns mobs when they eat it? Would make things more interesting, they could also make giants and some other mobs immune to such food for balance.
