New player (3-4 weeks playing).
Extremely enjoyable game!
So, with a different character in a different world, I was able to heat up foods like “bratwurst” and “quesadilla” and such.
When I try with this character, I get:
“You don’t have appropriate food to heat up.”
Even with food I previously could heat up with the other character!
Additionally, it appears I _can_ heat up at least some stuff while it is STILL hot, but not once it is cold - obviously defeating the purpose, heheh.
I have tried with “pot”, “stock pot”, “steel frying pan”.
I try the same way it was successful before:
Go to action menu.
Select the cooking tool.
Activate cooking tool.
Pick item from menu. (though I don’t get to this step anymore - I get the message above instead)
I am using these mods:
“dda”,
“magiclysm”,
“no\_npc\_food”,
“novitamins”,
“more\_locations”,
“no\_freeze”,
“PK\_REBALANCE”,
“Cata++”,
“More\_Survival\_Tools”,
“No\_Fungi”,
“no\_filthy\_clothing”,
“no\_reviving\_zombies”
Though I removed “no\_freeze” to see if that would remedy the issue (it didn’t).
Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding the mechanic?

It was fixed recently, update to latest version.
