"Recovery Coma" killing characters.
Multiple times now, I have been with 1 character, he gets downed, and even under the "Recovery Coma" which is supposed to you know, recover the character to a point of bandaging and such.
Instead, Chest keeps on getting worse, legs and arms get worse, and you don't recover.

This is a huge problem since if you don't have 2 or more people, and don't have anyone who is recovering, they will die when they get downed.

So in other words he or she is bleeding out? That's intended and not a bug.
The game isn't supposed to be easy solo.

You really don't understand the game if you don't understand how it works.

-20 in chest or head or stomach = Recovery Coma = Recovers stats to 0 before waking up.
-20 in chest or head or stomach = Dying = Dying from bleeding, or damage sustained need someone to patch them up.

Understand the difference?
look at the little arrows in the wounds
if they are there and pointing right
you are bleeding out even if it says recovery coma
recovery coma means you went below your toughness threshold so you can no longer wake up.

When there is no < and still going from -20 to -21, then -22, then -23.
When it happens again, I will take screenshots of it.

Hi. When the wounds are e.g. -20!! = this means a critical wound. It will decrease faster than a wound without it. If recovering from coma & have critical wound your character's risk of dying is very high. Blood loss K.O. is when your blood count is in the negatives. Yes critical wounds needs to be patched up ASAP. Playing solo cannot do this when in coma. Need another team member to help you. This is to my understanding. Hope it help you.

-20 not < -20 not <<<< -20 not < -20!!
Just -20 with Recovery Coma, which states it is healing yet was going down instead of up.

Border Zone, and Hiver so Acid doesn't do anything.

If it happens again, a save with it occurring would be great if possible. :)

I have a MA in training, solo, and got downed into recovery coma after like 20 or so times of getting back up. Their toughness is 80 and their chest is the only thing under 0 at -140. It is taking FOREVER. I thought that because my toughness is so high it wouldn't take so long but instead I've been sitting here for about 10 minutes now and finally hit -30. Is there a way to make it recover faster while comatose?
Shidan Apr 29, 2020 @ 7:10am 
Putting them in a bed will make them recover faster, or a repair bed if they are a robot.

Doesn't help when I'm running solo. Actually, this is opportune.

If you are allies(+100 relation) with say the Shek Empire or the Shinobi Thieves and they find your unconscious or comatose body will they rescue you?
Shidan Apr 29, 2020 @ 5:36pm 
They will heal you. But not pick you up and take you to a bed.

As for the solo bit, yeah I feel you there. My main save is a solo game. Just gotta live with the fact that the game wasn't balanced around being solo. So there will be times where you gotta just wait around for things to happen.

Once you got high toughness, this is less a problem because they
often get KO from just a little of extra of damage... so really often, this
is not enough to stop them to wake up once the unconscious countdown is finished.
(you also wake up faster so less time to lose hp from bleeding)

A good thing to do too is to patch you up when head/stomach/torso is bleeding.
(use the fact the enemy is in combat pose to run away a little (not too far) and heal)
Most of the time, you can't wake up because your bleeding is
above your natural healing so you can't heal enough to wake up...
you just get worst. Health which where bandaging can't be lose again (as it is already lost HP)
so bandaging yourself during the combat make you able to naturally heal
enough to wake up pretty much every time. A good thing too is to avoid
enemies with blades (and zone with too powerful enemies) when you have low toughness...
