How do I cure an infected sore?

[Buddy7787]

Yeah I don't like camping the windthrow from a mechanic unfortunately, seems like everyone is doing it too so you have to stay competitive, do ancient roots still cure things like nerve damage? I find the unhealable intel loss to be rather irritating, but not game breaking OCD would tell me to drown myself an start over but I could always get more intel lol. (Same for warts too I guess?)

At this stage in the game you can easily get them I'd say, they've lost a lot of their value now camomille compress exists, also they are quit common.

I'd just go with the alt probably if you are several hours late you still have a decent chance.

The ancient root heals HHP equal to its quality, evenly spread over all wounds.

roots are incredibly bad for healing an infected sore: at best you'll get 15-20 damage from each root from the wound, and until you have even a single point of infected sore on, all this may just be a waste of time. Compress, or soap until you get all the wound off.

I think you miss those who come here are not far in the game and wasting dozen cupboards of meat on some shitty soap is not really an option.

If you make alt and only check it near when it spawns then the amount of effort you put into the cureing is very minimal compared to wasting shitload of materials into the ground with shitty soap with little uses and low HHP healed each scrub.

Can add onto this no crafting time, no cauldron, water, stone q all affecting your shit soap so it becomes inevitably shit early on

Could also advice him to become a slave to the coin and sell your royal ants for blabla compress etc...


But to be honest should be able to fix things yourself (won't learn from slaveing ant hill and buying other people their medicine) and it's not even worth selling your royal ants for this, better to study them yourself in ant farm q10 and still camp windthrow with alt...

Only time I got infected sore on an early-stage character was when I opened door for my friend IRL and got knocked by a badger.
Couldn't take care of wound when I went to bed because had just started the char.

Took 2 ancient roots to heal and since they're quite common I already knew 2 spawns and got them within first try

Especially if you start from scratch you want your shit-meat for your labourer who flattens ground and all those sorta things.

So ability to build village with energy you have in shit chicken meat and such VS waste it all on shit soap.

the fact is: if the wound is (an it's probably at that level already) over 40 points, you need a good quantity of roots to heal it, and if you don't heal it all in one go, it will start again to grow, wasting the effort.

First thing to know is: heal it all or do not heal it.
Second thing: camomile compress prolly is the best way to deal the wound as it stops propagating
Third: any other method is anyway a waste of time, and the wound is made as it is for this purpose solely.

obviously doesn't have to be around 40 at all

I'm outside a lot and have approx 115*160 per*exp and have seen 1 camomille since they've been added to the game so cannot call it best because no guarantee on anything, atleast root spawns in tree guaranteed with the time specified so it's really easy to take them Also camomille will be raped by newer player because low loom etc.

Definitely ending up on market to cure something is bad answer


Also I doubt it grows fast enough to make touching it not worth at all

Soap is easy enough with chickens, which early on you mostly want for bone and feathers anyway, it's not like you're gonna roast and eat them when fish is so much better.

[Headchef]

Not for your main obviously but it's still throwing away food items of which the energy could've been used to construction base.

Levelling, clearing terrain etc. Building pali.

[MagicManICT]

You're making a lot of assumptions with that statement, though.

A) that the meat is usable in dishes that provide better energy than other foods available.

B) that said "noob" has access to the equipment to prepare the better dishes with the meat (need iron for a frying pan, certain farm goods that they may not have yet)

C) that the wound itself is going to leave the person in a "playable situation" if it's just ignored. It's one thing if you have a 50 point wound and 40-50+ CON for 200+ HHP. It's another if you only have 50 HHP available either because of low con or other wounds that need healing first.

Wounds are not a new thing that need to be suddenly managed. They've been a thorn in the side of both vets on new characters and new players alike. The fact that you need to either go to market (and hope someone is selling what you need), have very good exploration skills, or burn a ton of meat is. A player has to make one of these three decisions on what is available, and sometimes you have to go with the least desirable (burn a ton of meat to heal up). And at least there is an early game option compared to some of the other wounds that need dramatic skill levels or weeks or months to heal.

Why would you be leveling your whole plot before you have crops (and thus pies)? You only need to level for the walls, everything else can wait because you can't really use it immediately anyway. And you won't be doing too much mining before crops either, so there's really nothing that would burn tons of energy. And when you have pies going why not feed your labor alt real food so you can turn him into a proper miner or a fighter?
