I finally found a copy after 41.66 went live, and then this. lol

Is this a bug or a new feature?

i just rolled it back to 41.60, and reading The Herbalist doesn't give the herbalist player trait either. So I am guessing it's a feature that only players starting with herbalist trait will find medicinal herbs.

I'm playing latest patch and after reading herbalist journal I have found medical herbs and I can distinguish between poison and non poison berries and mushrooms. Herbs are very rare through.
maybe mods conflicts on your side, but gamer works as intended.
edit. I don't think the game ever shown the herbalist trait in the trait list after reading the journal.

no mods here. i turned on debug in 41.66, medicinal herbs (other than lemongrass) are invisible to me, unless i give myself the Herbalist trait.

gameplay-wise, it's not a big deal unable to forage medicinal herbs, since the more advanced medicinal herbs have first-aid equivalent.

Its still worth noting for developers though regardless unless we're missing something from like a past dev log that mentions this.

there is different herbalist magazines. I just learned medical herbs, but shrooms and berryes stil unknown for me.

I dont think you get the trait in the info panel, your character just gets the benefits of it.

I ran debug and only found one Herbalist.

I found what the problem is. In the earlier builds up to 41.60, foraging medicinal herbs are checking if you have read the recipe, "Herbalist". But in 41.65 builds and later, medicinal herbs are checking if you have the player trait, "Herbalist" instead.
