How to Open Canned Food in Project Zomboid
In Project Zomboid, canned food serves as a source of nutrient food, and it’s a convenient option since it’s not perishable until opened.
Canned food can be considered a substantial food source in emergency situations, but on the other hand, you can’t use it if you don’t have a Can Opener.
Keep in mind that not all canned foods require a Can Opener. Below is the list of canned foods that can be opened without it:
- Canned Corned Beef
- Canned Sardines
- Canned Tuna
A Can Opener can be found on kitchen counters or in restaurants. However, it’s pretty rare in most cases.
Once you get the Can Opener, you can right-click on it and select “Open <Canned Food>”. Alternatively, right-click on each canned food and select “Open <Canned Food>”.
Canned foods become perishable after opening, so you should eat them as soon as possible.
That’s how to open canned food in Project Zomboid.
