It does seem a bit odd that half a day of studying a random cookbook seems to be enough to cook rotten food pure again.  Maybe if it required like 6 or 7 or something instead of 3.

@Knight of Fools.  Noted.  I'll finish throwing this steel plating on my car and preform a couple drive by molitovings.  Damn elves, this is probably what they are trying to do, take over the world with trees.

 I hear you can destroy the grove, but I've only ever heard of folks using missile silos to do it.  I assume I can burn it to the ground too?  Or do I need to do something special?

It's a bug that rotten food is no longer rotten when cooked

[Girlinhat]

It's not a cooking deal, it's a gameplay mechanics deal.  Cooking meat destroys the raw meat and generates a new item.  There's just no check involved if it's rotten or not.

[Greiger]

Well in that case I probably should too.  I still have about 10 chunks of fresh meat(wolves seem attracted to wheels).  And I should get a good amount of veggy from the attack on the grove.  After that, I guess I just need to slow down a bit when flattening critters, see if I atomize them less often and can get some meat out of it.

[Girlinhat]

Go small caliber, or unarmed.  .22 guns are made to kill without atomizing, that's why they're in the game really.  The finger laser might also be non-atomizing.

[Greiger]

I'm an archer with some light melee.  My crossbow seems to do a good job of not wasting the corpse, though my strength is only 7, so reload is terrible.   And looking at my stash it seems I have a good supply of .22 ammo, but no .22 guns.  I should be able to make a pipe rifle though.

But it's so much more fun to hit things with a car.  I have parts, maybe I should make a really light hunting cart.

EDIT:

Spoiler: minor spoilers Trifflid grove assault (click to show/hide)

Trifflid grove assault did not go well.  Surface level got wrecked, I opened my car door and threw three molitovs while driving down the adjacent road, by the time I turned around the whole thing was just 2 square rings of rubble with a couple fleeing trifflids. But I went down some stairs into trifflid roots and came across some vine things.  Couldn't shoot them so I went all combat knife on them.  But doing that put me in range of some purple trifflid thing that kept shooting sap at me.  Threw a Molotov but it only killed what it hit, and didn't spread to the nearby vines.   Ended up figuring retreat was the better part of valor and figured I'll come back later with more dakka.  See if I can take out that sap shooter or the vine hub with bullets since my crossbow does jack and the mollies became impractical.

For small game, throw rocks. For large game, throw broadswords.

Or at least, that's how I hunt.

Sounds legit to me.

This is exactly how the Sioux hunted.

Wait wait wait. How do you butcher body parts and stuff into meat chunks? I really need another source of food rather then going into town. And another thing, can I find solar panels anywhere? I need to charge my welders and flashlights. Or do I have to make them.. I have 0 electronics skill

[The Merchant Of Menace]

You can butcher corpses with a knife using B

[Girlinhat]

You'll automatically use the best tool for the job, don't worry about holding your best knife.  Butcher knives work best, with higher success rate and more items produced.  Suggest jumping through regular houses looking for one, it's a great investment.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Holding your knife is the opposite of what you should do, the game doesn't actually check your hands.

[rhesusmacabre]

Until you build up your survival skill, most of the time you'll just destroy the meat. Practise on zombies.

Flashlights and welders can be reloaded using batteries. You can get spare batteries by unloading them from items you find.

Can't find the link to the version with doors without windows. Was a few pages back, but I seem to be blind.
