Shroom poisoning icon has an explanation about humours and telling you to boil them to avoid the debuff


You are also assuming everyone will read that

But does the icon explain how meaningless (how much the humours are lowered and for how long) the poisoning is in case of toadstools? Or will newbie think "these shouldn't be eaten without boiling"?

Thats not true at all. People are use to hopping into a game and having everything handed to them. Unfortunately for them this game doesn't do that, at least at this time.

I never really understood why people didn't put some effort into researching a game they were going to spend time in.

Because first they want to try this game. When you bought new phone or laptop did you put some effort and read forums when it is said how to find every option in it? Or did you just turn it on and use?

Why would I not fully research a phone or laptop before investing into it?

Always research what you are going to be spending any considerable amount of cash on. The first thing I always do once I purchase a new product is read the quick start guide which usually has an overview of all of the features and I leave the user's manual in my bathroom to read while I'm taking a ****.
