i don’t truly know what made this appear soo i will say everything i did
Walked past a fungal shrub killed a yugg that was to the north of it walked back to my car but stopped halfway to drink a protein shake but discovered that i suddenly got the carnivore trait so dropped the shake on the car trunk got close to the fungal shrub and smashed it when walking back to my car saw a “you smell and taste mushroom” asked myself what was that and pressed @ saw that strange message.
sorry for any errors i’m still learning english.

I think I know what causes it.
This debug string usually happens when someone translates an empty string. The “mushroom smell” thing is from fungal infection, which doesn’t have a description. This lack of description is “translated” into this weird error message.
