Moodle: Cold, Cure: Antibiotics
I'll keep it simple. In most cases it's very difficult to maintain a healthy diet "Well-Fed" to cure a cold. There's already medicine for other Moodles.

So just Add "Antibiotics" Medicine.

-im not asking to move heaven and earth. this is such a simple implementation. How it works is up to you to decide.

ive seen it in hydrocraft, maybe that is where you saw it
(some mods also let you search wallets for money which you can use to buy it from the shop)

I've seen it on non-Hydrocraft (mostly vanilla) servers, and it's on the wiki so I'm pretty sure it's a vanilla item. I don't think it helps with colds, though.

maybe it just helps you not become a zombie :)

I've seen them, but my loot settings where very permisive. Even then I may have found only a couple of them at most.

I've seen them most regularly in the mall's doctor office (last story) and in West Point Doctor office (the one to the south of downtown... not the dentist's to the north).

But isn't there one of the herb now that help against colds/flue? [/u]Common mallow[/u]

I've looted downtown WP and then some (zombie, some bathrooms/garbages... ok not everything is sorted yet but all from downtown is). As stated, it's very permisive loot settings. Here is what I got :

2 antibiotic
19 tissues
118 scisors
220 sleeping pills
262 antideppressant
263 beta blocant
263 vitamins
419 cotton balls
419 suture needle
488 bottle of desinfectant
726 bandages
740 alchool wipe
872 adhesive bandages

So yeah... antibiotics are really too uncommon compared to say... antidepressant and the like.

Yeah you're right, quickly looked it up. Seems like it can only be found in one spot. I've never seen it anywhere else in the entire game, haven't even come across it once in my life.

Then i simply ask that they add it to more locations such as medicine cabinets in bathrooms or in a pharmacy.


Antibiotics[pzwiki.net] The discription seems vague, unless it does include colds.

I would make sense that pharmacy have a couple of them in stock, except for 6 months later and some such. House cabinets should remain rare because when you are prescribed antibiotics, you usualy have only enough of them for the duration of the recomended treatment.

I don't think they help with zombie infection. That would mean sandbox setting that instantly turn you/kill you are harder then normal settings. I think antibiotics help speed cold/flue recovery only. If they implemented wound infection doing anything else then slowing healing it may help avoid things like gangrene.
