FloatyBoatyKnight Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I had started up a new Don't Starve SW world and I found a mandrake a mile away. I picked it and then ran around for a while doing other things. At night, I decided to cook it. As soon as I clicked the "cook" button on the fire pit, I immediately fell asleep. When I woke up, I had a cooked mandrake in my inventory. I ate it and fell asleep again. Is this a bug, or is this something intentional? EDIT: I now realize this is not a bug. Excuse me!

Developer ImDaMisterL Posted January 12, 2016 Developer Share Posted January 12, 2016 It is indeed intentional, mandrakes are roots that closely resembles humans, in mythology/folklore, their cry was fatal.In DS, the Mandrake puts things to sleep with its cry, thus why the Pan flute (which requires mandrakes to craft) puts nearby mobs to sleep.When you cook it, it cries, immediately putting you to sleep.When you eat it, I only assume the same chemicals and/or magic it uses to put other things to sleep take their toll on you and put you to sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatyBoatyKnight Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Ah, I see. I had watched several videos on Don't Starve with players who cooked mandrakes and never fell asleep until they ate them. Maybe it was an update? I'll make sure to only cook mandrakes at night, then.

Developer ImDaMisterL Posted January 12, 2016 Developer Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hmmhmm! Oh, when you cook/eat it, not only you are put to sleep until the next cycle of the day (eaten at daytime, wakes at dusk; dusk to night; night to daytime) but all nearby mobs are put to sleep as well!Also, welcome to the forums! I hope you have a great time around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
