Vitamins/flu shot are definitely a drawback in the current health system and really need to be reworked. Vitamins should probably be nerfed a bit and ideally would have an automatic setting, as you noted. Flu shots, on the other hand, probably shouldn’t be touching the health system at all, but inst…

So against disease-based automatic dosing hack, but is the idea of vitamin disease (like painkillers) good? I’d say +5 health_mod (capped at about 25) triggering 10 times per day, lasting a full day per pill. That would make it significant for unhealthy characters, significantly weaker than now (n…

Healthiness could be based on the morale system. If you do healthy things, it goes up, regeneration is hastened and likelihood of sickness goes down. Doing unhealthy things subtracts, increasing chance of infection and the specific item may trigger an unhealthiness effect, like ulcers/nausea for alc…

[quote=“Kevin Granade, post:4, topic:7604”]2. Is kind of a problem, but you’re exaggerating the tedium a bit, once every x hours is a pretty long time, it’s a bit hard to take the argument that doing something once every 2,000+ turns is tedious. Just do it twice a day or something like in real life…

[image] Coolthulhu: Back to my idea of fix: slow-release (painkiller style) vitamins with optional automatic taking that doesn’t use move points. Possibly with a scaling to make it more useful for less healthy characters and less for the more healthy. Is it a good idea for the fix? [quote=“Ke…

How about the solution i2amroy suggested - active items Is that overcomplicated too? I’d give up on the idea of fixing it, but current vitamins essentially reduce the entire huge health system to bloat. It’s a big waste, since the health system otherwise looks rather well developed and probably to…

So here’s the basic idea I was having for vitamins now that I’ve looked into it a bit more. Reduce vitamin spawn numbers. This means that older characters would have a bit of an oversupply, but it should make it more balanced over time. Vitamins lay an effect that provides occasional health_mod po…

Yea that sounds like it has the behavior I was looking for.

Me, I’d like some basic wear and tear when it comes to health. Going below 20% HP and then fixing yourself up with ramshackle medical supplies (a million cotton balls)… now that’s probably gonna leave some scars in more ways than one. Get hurt enough and your max health goes down. Could slowly rege…
