I found one, I’m killing everything with it, just seems silly that pointy sticks can be used to cook meat but my rapier can’t. I’d just bring a pot with me to turn things into food, but I found a power armor.

Heating a sword and using it to cook food would probably damage it in the long run, but I suppose so would using it to cauterize yourself.

Well, a rapier is more of a thin metal spike. Maybe now that item flags are worked in, you might eventually be able to use any item with Spike/Hold 1 to cook meat, like how you can use objects with Cut 1 to butcher things.

Inadequate is exactly right, that’s what the tool quality thing is for.
