GOOD THING I LACK A NOSE

WX-78, when examining a Durian.

A Durian is a rare Fruit that can be Farmed from Farm Plots by planting Seeds for a 5% chance of growing or using Durian Seeds. It can be Cooked on fire into Extra Smelly Durian, and also used as an ingredient in several Crock Pot recipes. Feeding a Durian to Birds in a Birdcage will produce 1–2 Durian Seeds, as well as a 50% chance to get Seeds.

Like Monster Meat, Durian damages health instead of restoring, which also affects its Crock Pot recipes. It can be used as a Fruit/any filler in Crock Pot recipe with no toxic effects, but using more than 1 Durian in a Crock Pot recipe could result in Monster Lasagna unless the recipe contains Twigs or has higher priority.

Why did I cöök this again?

Wigfrid, when examining an Extra Smelly Durian.

Extra Smelly Durian is a Fruit Food item made by Cooking a Durian. This cooked version does not damage health but one will still lose Sanity. It can be used as an ingredient in several Crock Pot recipes.

Like Cooked Monster Meat and the uncooked Durian, it will produce Monster Lasagna if more than one is included in the Crock Pot. It can be used in place of the uncooked Durian for all Crock Pot recipes.

Prototype Tips

  • Although Webber can eat Monster Meat without any penalties, he still suffers the same penalties as other characters when eating Durians, so it is not advised to eat Durians raw or cooked unless the player wants to lower their Sanity.

Placeholder Trivia

  • The sanity loss, character quotes, and name "Extra Smelly" refer to the foul odor that the real life fruit can emit. Not all varieties of Durian have a foul odor, but it can be so pungent and linger for so long that Durians have been banned in some establishments and public transport. Known colloquially as the 'King of Fruits', Durian is a creamy soft fruit which people either love or hate.
  • Durian is a popular fruit in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.
  • Using Durian to produce Monster Lasagna makes it theoretically possible to feed Wigfrid without meat.
