Food anywhere around labs is strictly forbidden I think, though that doesn’t necessarily explain the lack of a cafeteria or restaurant a safe distance away from the experiments.

Maybe it was scientifically altered bacon that wasn’t meant to be eaten, or it was a random sliver of meat from a dissection.

They actually never leave the lab. Ever. They just eat the same recycled urine. Forever.

Aside from the “breakroom” area fridges that are usually empty (I assume the scientists starved to death when they went into hiding), you can find bags of potato chips that have been smuggled into the dormitories. I just bring a ton of home-made jerky when I go exploring them - the saltiness isn’t a problem when there is that much water laying around.

zombie revival isnt a bug. you have to butcher them to keep them from coming back. The devs consider this part of the game. It adds to the atmosphere. When the mod manager comes in someone will make a mod.

But the scientists don’t eat there. There’s no recycled urine in a cafeteria. That’s clearly intended only for test subjects. To see if zombies still hate cafeteria food like normal humans.

That is a cruel experiment I wouldn’t even make zombies eat it

I saw some bags of chips and coke and stuff.

I guess they just go out to eat. Never saw a cafeteria.

Ooh, this could actually be legit. I noticed that in the most recent release, butchering scientist zombies gives you CBMs, just like shocker zombies. Logic dictates new CBM that produces manhacks out of midair.
