[Resolved] How do I eat?
I have a pack of chips and a coffee in my inventory (from the Vending Machine and Coffee Vending Machine), but apparently I can't eat them because left/right click both do nothing.

I don't mind it, since I play in Creative Mode, but it's kind of annoying to have these items on my hands, and not being able to use them.

Thanks to anyone who answers!

Creative mode means hunger and thirst is disabled. If you want to eat, play Survival i guess.

"I can't eat in the mode that makes it so you don't have to eat, why can't i eat?"

Or in the trash can, that way they actually get deleted.

You chose a mode that doesn't ask you to eat so you have no hunger and then you ask why you can't eat.
Probably you will ask soon why you can't find any cars!

Actually, this is a valid concern in my opinion. Creative and Freedom would be more interesting options if I could partake of the eat/drink/medicine component when I wish. Those consumable items should still be consumable even though there is no bar to manage.

No, if you wanted to eat and drink you should have chose the eat and drink mode, creative is for building bases and messing with things whereas freedom is for not having to worry about dying of hunger or thirst.

No, the "eat drink" mode (which has a name) FORCES me to constantly manage a bar. Consuming a consumable item at will allows me to have the FREEDOM to eat when it makes sense to me.

yeah i guess that makes sense. eat stuff if you want without having to do it to survive and not die

It's almost as if survival is intended to be a mode where you have to have food and not die from hunger and thirst, also why would you ever need to eat or drink in freedom and creative.

It's weird that the game doesn't allow you to eat (even if you don't need it to survive), yet makes edibles obtainable... Meh, whatever. Thank you anyway!

They're not gonna add useless code such as making it so food can't be obtained in specific mode.

The Fabricator can't make either filthered water or cooked fish in Creative Mode though, so it proves they did.
