Balance related question:
- Does the mod currently differentiate between Vermin caught using Rat-Poison, or those found dead within containers? Does Vanilla PZ? Or does that seem outside of the scope of this mod?

The scope of this mod is to allow people to eat vermin, the end.
I sincerely hope and expect that we can't, currently, only because B42 is in extreme unstable.
There are no plans to expand on this mod unless The Indie Stone refuses to allow us to cook with vermin, and maybe several other animals once B42 becomes more stable.

And regarding your rat poison questions, I have found rat poison, but haven't been able to see a better use for it than suicide, I don't know if you can use it on rats.
If you can use it on rats, then I would think eating a poisoned rat would also poison you, but alas, my coding skills are not that great, especially not in the dangerous new territories that is B42

so umm odd question but can we feed rats maggots or zombies maybe cut em up for gibbets... maybe just stock em in a farm pile block (something like graves mixed with a charcoal pile texture) to gen protein for rattie's and clucks in maggot form.

did u gave them feedback on forum and they just ignored this?
