Tips on managing scurvy?

[AcmeAdict]

I resumed my 500 day run and I was born into the game with scurvy risk. As this run is older than scurvy, I have never dealt with it. Any tips?

I'm not sure how the mechanic works so not exactly sure how to manage it.

Eat fish, drink rosehip and birch bark tea.

You're going to need a lot of wood, a lot ! To schedule a big fishing session ! I suggest you get to level 2 fishing by reading a book if you're not already level 2+.

The update was supposed to include the Cougar Yes/No and Scurvy Yes/No choices but if you resumed the game that went out the window. Needed to Load the game (if only someone had mentioned that).

The devs will be working on a fix which would probably be something like resetting the Cougar and Scurvy to a default condition, likely Disabled, and give the player a chance to choose. I expect a hotfix of some kind pretty quick.

yes, when i just resumed game suddenly scurvy affliction took effect. Quit, then loaded and cougar choice appeared and scurvy effect disappeared??? Honestly id like to add the scurvy as well as cougar.....

I realize this thread is about dealing with it on existing saves, but I want to add something to the discussion about new saves too, in case someone comes here wondering about it. If you regularly use teas to keep warm for longer while running around outdoors, you'll basically never get scurvy risk. My 250 day interloper run has never had scurvy risk even though I never fished and didn't change my play style at all.

The one thing i dont get is why the ammount of vitamin C in reishi and rosehips drops after you brew them. When you cook them it tell that C content in them is major, when you actaully brew a cup it goes ti minor

Science. Vitamin C is one of the heat-sensitive vitamins so the amount decreases as the temperature increases. It's one of the reasons we tend to get more of our vitamin c from consuming raw fruits and lightly cooked veggies, like broccoli.

The vitamin C 'rating' shown in your inventory is the rating for the entire *stack* for things like cattails and crafted tea ingredients.

How do you even eat reishi and rose hips raw?

Vitamin C does exist in raw meat though.
