Honestly I'd really like the option of throwing food into the internal furnace as well. I mean it's supposed to accept organic matter so why not some spoiled meat?

[Girlinhat]

Mainly because zombies are so common.  You should have an endless supply of tainted meat, thus an endless supply of power, which is a bit OP.

[Myroc]

So disallow tainted meat from being used in the furnace. Just claim it's because the tainted meat doesn't provide nearly as much energy as normal meat as a plot reason and be done with it.

[Whales]

Untainted meat is pretty common too, and really, meat doesn't burn that well.  The original intent of the furnace, which it's getting back to, is to provide an extra use for miscellaneous paper/wood items.

And how would you handle normal eating over furnace eating?
Having to confirm every time I want to have a snack would get very old, very quickly.

[Girlinhat]

I'd make the furnace into an active bionic myself.  Use furnace, select inventory item, consume!

And I agree with Whales.  Fat burns mediocre, but the real energy of meat is when eaten, and that's when metabolic interchange comes into play.  If you've got that expanded digestive system or similar to negate the poison, you can eat the meat for emergency energy.

According to the wiki you can stuff whole corpses into the furnace, unless that has changed?

[Girlinhat]

Corpses were previously undefined, but are now made out of meat.  As such, they cannot be consumed by the furnace.

Good to know

[Flying Dice]

I really miss that mental imagery though.

[Girlinhat]

However, I think that means you can eat a whole corpse...  Maybe not since they're not defined as a food, but worth a try!

Mod stuff's all been updated to the current version.
Just adding in the new stuff now.

So I noticed this game sort of stutters (for lack of a better word) on one computer than on another, basically if I continually walk it will pause for a split second every three or four seconds.  The odd thing is that this computer is better than another one where it works fine. 

What could be the cause of this?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

You playing off a USB on the one it stutters?

[Mickey Blue]

No, both are on the hard drive, both are windows XP computers, both have plenty of memory, good CPU and graphics cards and all that (in fact this one is the superior computer of the two).

But for some reason the game just doesn't run well on this one.
