It means that your blood level is low.
JB Jan 24, 2015 @ 6:07am 
ahhh what can I do to fix this?
Shiroi Ren Jan 24, 2015 @ 6:08am 
Eat and drink until "Energized" appear.
JB Jan 24, 2015 @ 6:53am

If you keep eating and drinking, you'll start healing. Theres two tiers, dark green healing, and light green. Dark is 1st, Light is 2nd. Just keep eating/drinking till "healing" status pops up.

Except it doesn't show 'healing' while blood is returning only when health is returning, and you have to get blood back before health starts to come back. If you keep eating and drinking after energised/hydrated you'll get stuffed and then make yourself sick.

However as others have said you have low blood, blood is a max of 5000 and you go unconcious at 1200 blood. You must be quite low since your colour is gone so lets assume about 2000. If you are light green energised/hydrated you recover blood at 3/sec so that's 1000 seconds (about 17 minutes). So you need to keep your energised/hydrated at light green for roughly that length of time.

Where did you get those numbers from?
You are wrong by the way. From very close to unconciousness, I can heal in a few minutes.

OK well I must be wrong then :) Lot of other people seem to be wrong as well.

But you're right I was wrong, unconcious is 500, not 1200 as I stated, so in fact it might take him longer than 17 minutes.

However what you are confusing is what causes unconcious, you can also go unconcious by getting your shock value above your current blood. So if you get a brass knuckles to the head it might give you 5000 shock and you go unconcious, however you're still at full blood meaning when you wake up you heal fast.

However only low blood causes screen to go black and white, so this guy is somewhere just above 500 blood and is nearly at the unconcious stage due to blood loss, not shock.

It will take him 20 mins.

Also please learn how dayz works before you call people wrong.

Do not tell me to learn about DayZ.

My first question was this;

A legitimate question.

I said this;

Because I do regenerate in that amount of time. 5 minutes is the most I have ever had to wait.

5 minutes for what? to say healthy after you've been unconcious? If this is the case then as I said it was because you going unconcious was caused by a combination of blood loss and shock, and once the shock value exceeded the blood value you went unconcious. A punch to the head is roughly 2000 shock, so three hits knock you out even at full blood.

But what three punches don't do is cause a massive amount of blood loss, so once you come round because your shock value drops quite quickly then you can return to a healthy status in 5 minutes or less.

However the de-saturation of the colour is only caused by blood loss, and once it has reached the point at which your screen is black and white then you know you are just above going unconcious due to blood loss, i.e just over 500 blood. You will not recover this in 5 minutes.

Try watching this video, it's quite long but you'll get a better understanding.

I already understand, I have watched these videos.
I passed out from blood loss.
My mate bandaged me.
I ate and drunk a few items, was fully healed in 4-6 minutes.
