Food poisoning death
I thought it only takes you to 15%? Then I slept with full needs and died in my sleep. What? Also, if you have multiple food poisonings, do they stack? And is the rest remaining counter bugged? Or does that only kick in if you use medicine? Last time it just passed on its own. So confused why I die.

Did you have low condition before going to sleep?

Yes I had the 15% that the food poisoning takes you to, not from anything else, sleeping in a bed.

Rest remaining is only for if you use medicine.

Which mode are you on? Intestinal parasites say it caps your condition a -20% weakness, but in Interloper it is uncapped (i got all the way to -61% weakness unitl I made it through the twenty days to get cured - I waited until -40 to start treatment). I would guess that in Interloper you would die from ailments that are normally capped in lesser modes.

Food poisoning - > Medicine + sleep = healthy
Food poisoning -> no Medecine + sleep = death

Hope this helps.

I think he knows that medicine helps. He's saying that the food poisoning shouldn't take you below 15% condition.

I've never tried to "game" food poisoning so i wouldn't know about the 15% statement. But it makes sense that if your condition was lower than 100% when you got the food poisoning, the poisoning should take you below 15%.

I think it makes sense that food poisoning doesnt kill you unless you're already somewhat weak.

Here is my answer after playing around and reading comments:

Food poisoning doesn't stack.

It reduces condition to 15% over time, but doesn't take you any lower. However, this is a secondary effect.

The primary effect is that once a certain amount of time, I believe 24 hours, has passed, without curing it by taking antibiotics/reishitea and then also sleeping 10 hours,
THEN:
Next time you sleep, the RNG rolls to check whether you died or it was healed on its own.

Ta da!
