Make elixirs faster

[shubla]

Its huuuge effort to make them. Find the right combo for some certain wound (possibly test hundreds before finding anything good), find out which combo does not give to much penalty, possibly use lye etc. expensive ingredients to do this.
And when you apply it... Its slow as hell! Its been like 6 hours in bed and only 2 points of severe mauling have healed.

Elixirs should be made way faster, equivalent to the great efforts to make them, it should be like 2 points an hour or some such, otherwise I don't really see point in making them for any wounds that are treatable by other means.

Different wound types heal at different speeds when cured by an elixir.
And, they also stack with regular medication.

Yeah but this is just dumb, it looks like the elixir heals around 1-2 points a day while even low quality hartshorn salve heals it like 20+ points a day. This is just outright retarded, devs must immediately buff them all. Elixir should be better than salve, not worse. 30-40x buff to elixir would be good?

Not quoting your post does not mean that I have not read it. I can quote and comment it if you want.

Stacking with regular medication does not help at all if its 95% slower than the regular medication, the difference between using elixir or not is negligible, its not worth doing if its that slow.
All values should be looked through and verified that elixirs are better than medications so there is even some point in crafting and using them.

i more meant the "must immediately buff them all" part- of which i was mentioning that they heal at different speeds

severe mauling might heal too slowly for sure, i know there was a post saying a nasty wart hadn't healed in over a week as well, but i've also personally healed several wounds of 60/80+ concussion, nasty laceration and an ungodly amount of crab caressed in less than an hour

No.

The point of elixirs healing slowly, or converting some serious wounds into other less serious wounds, is to act as a limit on elixirs being infinitely free and instant healing. All of the work is upfront, as soon as you know combos producing more elixirs is trivial. This is the problem they ran into with bum burn cures last world.

Sometimes normal remedies are better, sometimes elixirs are. That's ok. The only interactions I've seen that seem maybe out of line are Nasty Laceration being "healed" into nerve damage (which heals at 1pt/2 days with elixir), and nasty warts taking 1+ week to heal. Nasty warts taking forever would be tolerable considering how powerful toad butter is, it just seems not worse but pointless compared to root healing due to how small the wound is? But NL>Nerve damage flat out makes the wound worse.

Then why can I make them for wounds that are not slow healing? They should be more useful.
There is no reason why they should be useless for any wound other than devs utter inability to balance things or do any minor corrections to any mechanics without complete rework.

Elixirs aren't supposed to make the entire first aid system completely pointless.

First aid system is not supposed to make the entire elixir system completely pointless.

They could both coexist, buff elixirs a bit, so that you could use both elixirs and first aid. Finding right combos and producing them etc. all takes effort, and elixirs have side effects and such which limit their use.
