Severe Pain

[Kellerkind]

So my charakter has had this "severe pain" for a couple of days now that wont go away, even when I use pain killers. Is there any way to see where the pain comes from and how do I get rid of it?

I think lightning bolts on the character model show pain.
Also, if you have shoes on, make sure they are on the correct feet (left right)

[Kellerkind]

Yeah, Ive got those little lightning icons above the head of my character, yet I still dont know what exactly causes the pain.
I'm never wearing any shoes, only my EVA Suit.

The only place you would spot any indicator is in the tag block on the right 2jen you select your character. Probably look for a real named ailment, like Migraines or an Aneurysm...or headache, or a scar or wound from your CharGen.

ive noticed that sometimes the pain indicator lights up for a couple seconds when i remove my EVA Suit mask

I think that is your ears popping on the pressure change, or something silly like that.

As someone who used to SCUBA a lot, yeah that's absolutely a thing, and even worse if you're congested, as then it can take minutes/hours for the pressures in your sinuses to even out.

in the case of the game, its likely that you had a rough impact with a ship at some point? that might have given your character a head injury... you can attempt to 'wear' clean rags and your character will put them over the appropriate wounds, but if you want it taken care of quickly, y'gotta go to the mescaform and buy the nanobot treatment from the med station. (bit expensive, but not much when you've gotten set up)

That character is gone wth the latest 2 patches as the savefile got corrupted.

The pain shown was permanent though, not temporary as suggested by Master-Steel
I had one of those lightning icons above the characters head, here were no existing ailments as I go rid of them by visiting the medical kiosk, the pain remained unchanged though for at least 2 more ingame days (when I had to abandon that game and character).

Not much there I can say or do about that anymore, would be nice to know how to deal with that kind of pain for future occurances.

Thanks to anyone who wanted to help anyway.

You could try painkillers in your next game.

There are a number of meds you can get in the game, from antibiotics and antinausea pills to painkillers.
In fact I'm pretty sure there's 2 types of painkillers, but I only know of one of them that's easy to get, at least off the top of my head, Van Buren's Hydrocone, as there's a full bottle (plus a bottle of Amoxicillin antibiotics in one of the three sealed rooms near where you start in OKLG.
Either grab a power conduit or use the crowbar (found by using the switch to the very south of the corridor outside your room) to get entrance.

The room itself is the last one you see on the north side, just after the corridor to the flop room where everyone seems to suffocate.
You can also usually find them for purchase in the Supply kiosk and on wrecks, but do double check the bottles on wrecks as I've seen the pills replaces with other pills or scrap parts.

As an aside, I'm amused that IRL, my family would have a hard time being in orbit in this setting, as we're each allergic to either Hydrocone or Amoxicillin.

well they did say they tried painkillers... but yeah, the medical kiosk has two options (why is func-tions censored?), one is for major medical stuff (likely obtained in character gen) but the second option is for injuries sustained in regular play (the nanobots)

if the nanobots dont fix ya then that'd be a bug right there.

[Tumskunde]

I don't know if the nanobots have been coded to work yet, I know in 0.11 they basically did nothing.
Did a dig, Nanobots improve your immune system, blood recovery and wound healing.
It's the surgery option that I don't see anything coded for.
