How to find out plant properties?

[Grandmaster of Pwn]

hi guys, still trying to figure out the game. im wondering about plant properties. i got some parasites on me ;) the notebook says i should eat plants with antiparasitic properties. there are many properties mentioned. how am i supposed to figure out what plant has what property? does the game expect me to eat all plants i find or will i find some sort of plant guide later on in the game? it seems eating all sorts of plants and mushrooms and berries leads to disaster quickly...

thanks for any hints.

The hard way.

The three icons in your journal for a plant are the effect if eaten raw, in a bandage, and boiled. You have to experiment and fill in the effects yourself.

The orange cup mushrooms and blue mushrooms have antiparasitic effects, as do some fruit. Orange cup are easiest to find, and if you boil them they are more effective

thanks for the reply bobsmyuncle. while its a neat idea i guess, i think gameplay wise its not so good, cause it essentially forces ppl to save. try plant, reload. or just look it up on the internet. thats more a chore than good gameplay imo. i guess i'll try the save/reload version.

no guides in the future. U will learn eating and boiling the plants/mushroons. or looking in the gamepedia.

Or immerse yourself and deal with the consequences of eating something you shouldn't have (as you would in an actual survival situation).

Here is a wonderful tool to use as a reference if you are looking to see what the various consumables do.

Its the point of the game really.. everything we actually eat is recorded in our survival notepad. No try no learn no record in the notepad. XD
