Talk:Food Poisoning

Petition to change page name to "food poisoning"
Does the game really call it "food sickness"? Because food poisoning sounds much better. Freegreaseeater (talk) 10:45, 29 January 2020 (UTC)


 * The game is not good with naming - it is confusing about the word "poison" or "poisoning".


 * We went with clear distinctions and an icon next to each hyperlink so you knew for sure which debuff was being talked about. They interchanged the words poison and venom and omnivore.


 * This way anyone who is looking at it understands which version it is - even if they don't speak English. Poisoning from a snake, is different than poisoning from eating a deadly mushroom, is different than poisoning eating mammal meat for the first time.


 * It would have been nice if they had clearly given them different names but they tend to use symbols instead - in the absence of a clear naming convention (the game files and icons are all messed up) - we went with something that was easy to understand. Naming it "Food Poisoning" adds back in a two debuffs with the word "poison" in them. It gets confusing if you aren't a native English speaker and you have trouble understanding - is this poison from a snake bite? or from bad food? With a different name - then it's clear they aren't the same debuff. GS877 (talk) 14:56, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

I do not agree. It is called "food poisoning". Everybody with a basic knowledge of English would know it as "food poisoning" rather than "food sickness". Which sounds odd for English speakers, the language it is written in. I think people can make the distinction. Freegreaseeater (talk) 07:19, 30 January 2020 (UTC)


 * After additional research, Freegreaseeater is correct. Food Poisoning is what is used in many of the Neurons. This should be the page name. All links will be corrected and the page will be renamed. -GS877 (talk) 00:05, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
