Why can't we eat raw potato?

[Kadam]

I literally just starved to death with a potato in my hand while googling how to eat a potato. I mean really? We should rather starve to death then eat a raw potato? This is just dumb.

you need to peel the skin off normally with a knife

thx fker now im hungry

Either plant the potato or skin it to eat it. Don't forget to cook it first for more nutrition.

Yes I get it you need to peel it and cook it ideally, but would you rather starve to death then eat a raw potato? I don't think.

[Higher Resolution]

Just peel it and get good at the game

Please tell me again why raw potatoes are not edible in a survival simulator game?

because its a GAME and it wants u to keep busy.
really no big deal to find some bladed weapon or simply craft a knife to peel it.
sure it would be better to be able to CLEAN the potato instead to peel it.
it wont break the game anyway.

I find it really redundant and a lack of understanding for such changes like this to be added to the game. I swear they're making this game into how a rich person would try to survive with an immunity disorder.

This is really a waste of development funding for a change like that when they could have focused on more important things like better user control interface and organization.

I survived in the woods for weeks because I could not stand listening to anyone's mouth in real life, potato's last months and only require washing.

I know I would rather eat a RED potato raw without peeling before a russet potato or a red onion before a yellow, they should have added more food and implemented peeling and cooking for certain types of stuff that really require it.

The fatigue of the life span of an item is consistent to the lack of knowledge in programming of items, like a knife can last longer than the person who owns it in real life if properly used, or a suppressor, when the suppressor in pristine condition breaks after two or three shots like it was made of fiberglass and then the knife breaks like it was made of the same material.

The game took survival into the wrong direction when the game was based on realism with-in an infected apocalyptic scenario.

Well after reading this I think I am going to make some home made potato chips since the price of a gallon of gas is more than a small bag of chips, and by the time I get done making chips after over an hour of work, someone might be able to find a potato in game and a knife to peel it before they rage quit or starve in game or the above many possibility's to re-spawning to the senseless insanity circle.
