Unable to sleep due to ailment...

[UncivilS3rvant]

Again, another n00b question.

I'm using Zalissya as my hub to explore the zone surrounding it, but I'm currently unable to sleep in the bed in Hamster's trading post next to the storage box as it says I have an ailment.

My health is 100% and eating food (2 x bread in this case) didn't remove the chicken leg icon in the bottom left, so what am I missing here?

Maybe you need to eat more food to remove completely the chicken leg and you might be irradiated

The chicken leg icon will be more filled in the hungrier you are. If eating didn't remove it, it probably was fully white to start and the 2 bread you ate just made it more transparent because it didnt fill your hunger all the way (think those are only medium hunger filling, I've had to eat 3 medium filling food before for sure).

I imagine you need to eat more to clear that last "ailment" out before you can sleep, along with any others you may have.

Ah right, I shall just scoff a load of food until it disappears.

Clearly a single or double portion is not always enough.

Bread and sausage, the staple of a stalkers diet

Visit a medic which will reset several ailments, and if the hungry icon is present, as others have said sometimes it takes more than just a single snack.

Bread, sausage, and vodka.

If you drink a lot of energy drinks and leave the chicken leg long enough then eating multiple cans will be required.

I would just keep 10 canned meats in my inventory and leave it at that. Pretty much everyone will have some in stock to trade and it's the best of the easily tradable items.
