Does anyone bother with cooking?

[Evilsausage]

Everytime its just such a hassle to get a fire going. Its not at all logical from a gamedesign view, the few time i have decided to make a fire i have always had to google it just to figure out how.
On the top of that stuff is buggy as hell, sometimes the fireplace is invisible, one time i lost my axe for no reason, sometime the fire stops burning after 30 secs and all the wood got ruined.

On top of that food i cook tend to get me sick. I mean in real life any person with some basic knowledge would know how to check if the meat is done.
I think things are poorly designed, overcomplicated and buggy, which really makes me just wanna ignore cooking altogether.
Then I rather run for 10 mins and place my bets food in a town.

I have to say the same goes to first aid, would be nice if things where alot more clear on what you need to do to get a friend on your feet if hes down. I also think the blood type feature make the whole blood transfere so rare that I personally have never used it.

Or do people think this stuff is working as intended?

Learn how to Play/Cook! You doing it wrong or trying the one or two uncommon bugs
again and again which would be strange.
Do you want to learn how to do it? I just ask because if not, we can safe the time for pressing copy and paste for the tutorial.

A majority of the things placed in the game are not going to work as intended, given that most of it will be a WIP/Alpha.

Expect nothing to work as intended and try to find another means of finding food.

1. Berry bushes
2. Dean zed &infected loot (kiwi,sodas)
3. Charcole/meds & Raw meat

But thats very time consuming more than grilling and much more than cooking pod.
Or are you spamming them?

Look for a stone to craft a stone knife, then get 3 sticks and 1 or 2 bark from any tree to craft a fireplace. Once you have that, get another stick + bark and combine them (makes a hand drill for starting the fire). Then place the newly crafted hand drill in your hands and look at the fireplace to ignite it.

If you keep adding sticks + bark (as attachment!), you can keep this small fire going for cooking. I make one whenever I kill a chicken if it's my best option for food, and the whole process takes about 5-10 minutes, depending on where the best place is to start a fire where you're near. You don't want to go starting fires in obvious spots where people might notice.

As far as the bugginess is concerned, and I'm not sure if I'm just really lucky, but I haven't experienced many bugs when it comes to cooking/starting fires at all. Sometimes it's a PITA when you try to set/start you're fire, what with the "I'ts not safe to start a fire here" or w/e, but that's about it.

Wolf Steaks are the best food in game. I try to find a pan or pot and a portable stove so I can cook anywhere anytime. The cooking system works fine for me. Use lard in the frying pan and water in the cook pot. DO NOT EAT THE LARD. I ate it and got very ill.

I never had time to cook.... but

Now I have a GOOD reason to try!

For me personally Carp Fillet works the best easy to catch with Fish Net Trap however since last update I am having difficulty find Metal wire..
