No corn debuff?

[Shurp]

So I had this Pemmican lying around that I wanted my colonists to eat so I forbade all the meals lying around.  To my surprise my colonists went after the corn instead, and aren't receiving any raw food eaten penalties for eating it.  This is surprising.  Has this been going on for a while?  If so, why am I bothering to cook food?

(and what sort of genetically engineered corn is this that makes raw corn easily edible for humans?)

They'll also eat the raw corn before Simple Meals.  I reported this in the bug report forum on this thread:  https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=21486.0;topicseen

I find your post funny.  Because freshly picked corn can be eaten raw in the real world, it tastes great, I've done it many times.  Not from the grocery store, from a roadside stand, just shuck it, rinse it off, and eat it.  It's delicious.  This can be done with almost all vegetables.

It is not a bug, some raw food can be eaten with out bad effect, Corn and berries are one of examples. This is true in real life and in a game.

A simple meal requires 10 foods to make while eating a meal of corn requires 14 corn. Neither has buffs or debuffs but meals are more efficient with raw ingredients.

Corn, like berries has no debuff when eaten raw. I'm pretty sure it's in the description.

I've noticed I am not receiving any food buffs or debuffs regardless what my colonists eat. And they'll eat anything. Sometimes going for raw meat when lavish meals are available.

Fresh-picked corn is very tasty (like fruit, it is slightly sweet), even better than cooked (IMHO). So i think it is WAD.

OK, I guess this is WAD.  And yes, it is in the description, just surprising.  Corn really is the uber crop in Rimworld then.

Yeah, but it takes forever to grow. If you try planting corn as your first crop upon landing, you had better have an alternative ready because your pawns will starve to death before that corn is ripe. And of course blights hit you doubly hard with crops that take longer to mature. So I'd say it is fairly balanced.

If so, why am I bothering to cook food?

Simple meal: 10 food. Eating raw food: 16ish food. Cooking also reduces chance of food poisoning.

Black magic.

Again, its pointless because your colonists won't eat the Simple Meals if there's raw corn, they'll eat the raw corn first. :/

This, my friends, is where the Restricted Area comes into play. Restrict access to your food stockpile once it's filled, and make a seperate meal stockpile.

Also, Pemmican is the problem for me; real meals are fine.
