Wellness Stuck At 70

[Spicy]

my friend made a server a while ago so we could play 7 days to die together, in the beginning neither of us had any idea what we were doing so we tried to meet up multiple times, only for it to end up killing one or even both of us before we could even get some clothes. after that we decided to split paths for a while untill we were geared up enough to meet up to a house i made without dying multiple times.

so, because of us dying in the beginning both of our wellness levels are stuck at 70. doesnt go lower, doesnt go higher. whatever we dring do or die, so dont come up saying that we need to eat vegetable stew and drink goldenrod tea.

but we need a solution we cant go on like this, ive searched a bit online and i came up with deleting some sort of ttp file for our characters i presume, what are the consequences of that and is there an easier way? because i dont want to possibly loose all my stats and skills that took us days to get.

I am still kind of new myself but i tried a technique i read, and it seemed to work, in which you must not take any damage for 2 days. Stay well fed and hydrated, dont get sick, injured, dysentery, infections or hypothermia. I did this by just working on my base for a week and staying warm often because i am in snow biome. I shot up pretty quick. So i would scavange a week and then the next week stay behind my defenses crafting, building and mining. i got to wellness 145 in about 3 weeks in game time.

If eating any wellness-raising foods (such as stews or bacon and eggs for example) does not raise your wellness eventually, then yes, there may be an issue with your player file. It is the .tfp file of the local server, you need to delete the one that is related to the SteamID of the bugged character / account.

Try raise the Health Nut perk, it work for my brother, and by the way you cant never go lower that 70 (whit no mod). Forget vegetable stew, go Meat food, and has you look like you can make vege stew, the meat stew will give you best wellness gain (+1.6), where vege one give (+0.1).

Restarting anew. Inventory, skills, kills, deaths. However, your base will still be there. So will your stuff if in chests.

yea i know im not a common skrub.

okay thanks for the confirmation though, sad that 7 days makes this be the only solution, a bit drastic for dying a couple times, i wouldnt complain if i could just get back to a normal wellness.

Never called you one. Only expanded on the consequences and what would be kept.

Deleting the file is not the only solution. You have to eat the correct food. And all foods are NOT created equal. You will NOT raise your wellness with canned food. Only prepared food - preferably with meat. Veggie stew gives +0.1 IIRC while meat stew +1.6 (also from memory).

Hunt animals. You don't even need cooking utensils to prepare them. Grill the meat in the Campfire. If you click on the prepared meat you should see a +Welness value of about 1. If you don't see that something is wrong with your server/save.

If you are at 70 you will see immediate raise in welness from just a single portion of meat. If you don't... some bug. Later on (with higher welness) the welness increase of food is deminished. So womething that gave you +1.6 will maybe give you +0.8. So you will need to eat more to gain welness.

Don't die. Each death is -10 welness. That is why you think you are stuck on 70 - since 70 is the minimum. It used to be 50... And most of us agree the welness hit is a good thing. Otherways the game becomes a base building simulator with the minor anooyance of death. It's a survival game. You should avoid death at all costs. :)

Cheers and good luck!

the wellness penalty from dying is indeed a very good thing, but i have seen multiple reports of people getting below the minimum wellness somehow, yet still displaying the minimum, at least i speculate that this is the issue. so i cant just drink infinite tea's and stew's and medkit myself every 5 seconds or some idiocy, getting stuck at the minimum wellness is a mayor glitch for the people that manage to experience it.

just to be extra clear, there is a wellness boost from eating good foods and stuff that is slightly above 0.01. which immedietly gets removed.

If you're willing to cheat by deleting files why not just go into CM (if you can)for a few seconds and grab a few stacks of vitamins to see if that will work. If that doesnt work no base/gear is worth running round with 70 health... restart. The begining is the best part of the game anyway and now you have more exp on what to do and not to do.
