Curing the Common Cold

[Sorrow]

So I'm in an MP server where sleep is turned off. I have a nasty cold. I've literally eaten to the point of bursting for five days, and sat around my house doing nothing. I can't get rest because we don't get tired in the server. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here if anything, but it seems to be INCREDIBLY hard to cure any cold/nasty cold your character gets if you don't have the option to sleep. Any advice?

I'll admit the rest thing with MP does make some slight issues. I'm not sure if foraging for stuff could help? If you have herbalist or the magazine, a medicine could help but that's some work.

Very important antibiotics and all that. Honestly, and unfortunately, the best bet is to probably just get a tissue and let your character relax for a bit, sit on the ground and read a book. Pass the time unfortunately

You need to wear one of those face masks and keep at least 6 foot away from other players and zombies at all times. If possible, get a bunch of food and hunker up in a house for six weeks, survive the zombie apocalypse from home. Do your part, citizen!

All you can do is wait it out. You can also carry a tissue with you and equip it while you out looting to silence the cough until it does go away.

Actually there is also drinking hot tea. It seems to assist in recovering from cold.

You can still enable the ability to sleep, even with the sleep need disabled. This is helpful for speeding up time at night, or presumably if you wanted one character to rest because of illness or wounds, assuming sleeping helps and not just the passage of time.

Change it yourself if you're the host or ask them to enable the ability to sleep on the server settings, without enabling the sleep need if you / they don't like managing it because it's a major hassle with multiple players present, etc. Then you might be able to sleep off your nasty cold like that.

Assuming you've not already died or cured it anyway.
