SOLVED: Glitch Involving Survival Mode And Restoration of HP And AP Through Food and Water
EDIT/UPDATE: Hello, so basically my AP bar was locked in red after exiting the game on survival mode. Despite applying all the fixes to get rid of the red it only got rid of negative effects and the bar would not replenish. After some fiddling I went into survival, made my condition worse, and then began applying the methods to restore the AP bar.

For whatever reason this worked and I am back with my AP points where I want them. Thank you everyone for taking the time to read and offer advice on the issue.

Console commands broke my first character but it finished it with tgm. I went back to that character to finish up some achievements the other day that were left that were going to take a lot of walking and I had a rad glitch where I was constantly gaining 8 rads a sec.

I figured wtf lets try and fix this and emptied all my inventory including what I was wearing minus stem packs, radaway, purified water and cooked food. popped a bunch of all and drank the water I needed then slept 24hrs.

I know this a dif circumstance but its worth a shot

Hey, thanks for your response. I appreciate it very much. I didn't want to take drastic measures but for some reason I thought of a stupid idea and it ended up working! I fiddled with survival and made my AP bar worse (fatigue, carrying too much) forcing it to change in length. Then I began applying the necessary fixes (stimpacks, water, food, etc) and lo and behold the bar refilled. For whatever reason I had to do it in survival mode before it would go away. Either way it worked, so this is solved. And thank you for the advice anyway. I was almost about to resort to it. There are a few other issues that I feel your advice might be able to remedy so I'll be using it on those issues. Happy scavenging!

Happened to me once, but it was 16 rads. I just TGM'd real quick on load, FT'd, and save/quit/reloaded a few times and it eventually went away. No idea of the cause, maybe I'd caught a flash from a radstorm during a previous save and "caught" it as default.

I think it all had to do wiith me switching in and out of survival. I have a mod that allows me unlimited activations of it and I needed to do something important that required me to be outside survival to fix a small issue thru console commands. I think I was not properly fixed when I did and for whatever reason instead of resetting things ("you are properly fed/hydrated", etc) it remained as if I were still in survival.

Could you please tell me if "very hard" has things like thirst and fatigue or is it just survival? While I find the immersion and extra challenge fun, I wanted to know what difficulties housed these. The only reason I ask is I've gotten condradictory info from a lot of people ranging from "it's in survival only" to "survival amps up the supplies you need to become properly fed/hydrated or cured of illness." For example, where I'd need like three purified water to hydrate, survival would make it six. I don't know if any of that is true.

Thanks for your input! This issue is solved however. I appreciate it nonetheless. :steamhappy:
