Regaining lost health in the third world?

I recommend fishing yourself up a whole heap of fish and then finding an established settlement. Try to trade the settlement for some wool/gauze

I recommend settling down right beside the leech marsh and spending a long session fishing, using the bloated leeches as you heal. It doesn't take that long if you having something to do beside just stand there and wait for the leeches to do their stuff.

I would very much welcome another way to heal. I've been traveling around my encampment (which i'm quite happy with btw ) and have yet to see a single sheep, or a single swamp. But i've been attacked by a few bears now, so HHP is down to 50/100. I really don't mind the bear encounters, since it adds a little bit of drama/danger, and I like the dynamic of not being allowed to get complacent. However, if there's going to be an increase in the number of bears, there really ought to be some new form of healing available. I guess it's a question of balancing how hard it is to FIND the materials to heal yourself, versus how hard it is to USE those materials to heal yourself.

The way it's built now though, even if you're willing to spend the better part of an evening working on healing yourself, you're at the mercy of some rather difficult to find resources. I'd like to be able to build a crappy yet somewhat effective bandage out of a whole mess of spindly taproots, for instance. Or use flax to make very poor linen bandages. Maybe add in a branch or woodblock as an "ingredient" for a bandage to act as a splint or brace, so you can equip it and heal very slowly over time (Kinda like wearing a cast or brace in reality, you'd need to wear it for a good week to heal). That way healing is still not free, but it's not so ridiculously hard to achieve for a new player. I'm guessing the devs could use the same code to model an equipped brace or bandage healing over time as they use for the leeches currently. Perhaps a player wearing one would be limited to a walking/crawling pace too? I don't know, just throwing out ideas now. What do y'all think?

Correct you are! Not to worry, though, my own dude is getting to be in a bit of a pickle himself, so we might actually do something about it.

Cry more baby!

Using grassland for animals, or do you somehow already have enough seeds to feed them via through?

I still think sleeping in a bed should (very slowly) heal some hhp.

its quite annoying when you have no leeches near you....

Took me an hour to find some leaches, Teleported back to Camp Naked...
I hope people in New Brodgar don't throw them away thinking they are rubbish or something, or worse, Fishing Bait...

[Grog]

i'd like some cheaper gauze by hemp and flax...

[kaka]

How about Plantago major as another healing aid?
