its time to cook fish in a furnance to add -5 phyical damage, mabye as big 1.0 release feature
i know fish was only a testing item that never leaves the game at my 1st mod experiments i had Strawberries
but its still raw fish and i like to cook it
btw does fish respawn?

Yes, I agree with your suggestion. The fact that the fish is labeled as "raw" implies that it must be possible to cook them, in some way.

I'm not sure if a furnace should be the proper way to cook them, though. On the other hand, I have no better suggestion.

I like how much of a non-feature the Fish are. They are arguably kinda useful pre-power armor but there's never a need to have huge amounts of them as just picking one up and eating it gives a ton of health. Having to cook them would kinda make sense, but I don't know if they'd be worth the trouble then. They're not too useful to begin with since your health regens nonstop, they just speed the healing up a bit, if you had to wait for them to get cooked you might as well just wait for your health to recharge.

I say rename the item from Raw Fish to Fish and be done with it.

Yes, I think that would be the best solution.

Who is stupid enough to eat a random fish found on an alien planet, anyway?

You're right, every interstellar industrialist knows native fish from a questionable planet only becomes safe to eat after thorough marination in polluted water full of healthy mutagens.

I think cooking it would be a nice gimik. It shouldn't be that hard to add the recipie for furnaces.
Though I guess the best use would not be as a health source but as something to feed to the natives Attack with it like with a grenade (range zero) and then it tames the biter
