Healing.

I have a quick question, how do you stop the bleeding or heal yourself after a wound. I cannot figure that out at all.

Hi, pcman66.

Healing:
1) Curatives in the crafting tab. You start the game with the buckbrush tea recipe. It's the red plant in the forests. Fireweed decoction is a next good one to get because it is also in the forest, presumably where you are starting the game from.

Tip: Remember you can 'create an objective' for any gathered item for which you know the recipe. In this case you need buckbrush leaves, an ingredient of buckbrush tea. So, from the listing in the crafting tab, create an objective for buckbrush tea (I always maximize the amount slider), make it your active objective, and you will get the map markers for the buckbrush plants just like you got for wood in the tutorial. You only need to do this until you can recognize plants by sight but it is necessary for stone (stun arrows are very useful).

2) Warpaints. At least one of the starting warpaints has a passive heal.

3) There are three health related skills on the warrior skill section. Relatedly, choose a name that gives a health boost. I usually go for stat boosts but I look for carry weight, stamina (used by the concentration skill), and then health.

Final healing tip: get you camps to craft the buckbrush tea for you. You have fighting to do, you want to automate gathering/hunting as much as possible.

Since you ask about healing I am guessing you are a relatively new player. I suggest playing the classic mode first, where you just have an HP bar, while learning the rest of the game mechanics. Advanced healing is a big difficulty factor addition. But if you are jumping in with both feet:

Treatment:
1) On the crafting tab treatment section, spend time studying the listed treatment cure effects. You will most commonly need something for light and heavy bleeding, puncture, fracture, and shock. I will generally carry bandage with sumac for light bleeding and fracture, patch with agave for puncture, a medicine (at least) for shock, and something for heavy bleeding (a loot item or pricky pear paste).

2) Skills. For advanced parts (see bottom right of the graphic for biome location) you will need to unlock the relevant gathering skill for you or your warriors, or both. You will probably want to do the warriors first because you want to automate your supplies as much as possible, but I like to pick up the first rank for my skill early game as well. A 30% chance of advanced part gathering while you are exploring the map anyway is better than nothing.

3) Ask questions in chat. For that matter I and others share cures to new players through the social mail system. Help is out there.
