Their taste is terrible, but they can save your life in sickness.

–Item Description


Overview[]

Medications are Basic Items in the game. They are obtainable by crafting through the Improved Herbal Workshop, trading or scavenging.

They are a single-use item that can cure 'slightly sick' status or downgrade higher levels of sickness.

Usage[]

Combining Medications with rest almost always reduces sickness by one level. The levels of sickness are:

  1. Healthy
  2. Slightly Sick
  3. Sick
  4. Severely Ill
  5. Terminally Ill

Improvement occurs one level at a time regardless of the method or medication used.

  • Resting, by itself, is the least effective method and has a low chance of success. Merely resting is (most likely) ineffective against the more advanced stages of sickness.
  • Combining rest with Herbal Meds increases the chance to reduce sickness.
  • Combining rest with Medications always reduces sickness.
  • A character may recover 2 levels of sickness from medication if it has no other negative alignments at the start of next day.

Alternative Treatment at the City Hospital[]

Sick or Severely Ill characters can seek free aid from a Nurse at the City Hospital. To do this the sick character must be selected for scavenging at the locale, then talk to a nurse to have free treatment applied. The character will receive the 'On Medications' notification listed next to their level of sickness in the character pane. Returning to the shelter afterwards will apply the medicinal healing - decreasing the level of sickness by at least 1 level and removing the 'On Meds' notification.

Characters that are Slightly Sick or Terminally Ill cannot take advantage of this. Slightly Sick characters will be informed that they do not have enough supplies to treat minor sickness, unless they are also at least Wounded. Terminally Ill characters cannot visit the hospital at all.

Trade Value[]

In terms of commerce, Medications have a very high exchange value, rivaling even the Assault Rifle.

  • Donating medications to the City Hospital will help the troubled, pained patients. It will also make your survivors happy.
  • As with all medical supplies, Matey at the Garage has a more favorable exchange rate for them. Often one unit of Medications can be used to obtain equipment from Matey that can save resources and obtain supplies worth significantly more.
