Best healing options?

[DaLagga]

So now that conventional healing items have been nerfed into the ground in terms of health recovery, what are the best alternatives? So far the only two decent options I've found are plants - Varon Root and Textured Plant Protein.

Varon Root is fantastic since it restores 250hp but the problem of course is that it only grows on specific planets (Akua) and has to be harvested manually by running through forests to look for it. Textured Plant Protein only restores 100hp, but since it can be grown you can mass produce it with little effort by the mid-late game.

So what are the other viable alternatives outside of just popping medkits like jelly beans?

Honestly? I have a custom built Capital ship that I use as a base and I just use the medic chamber to heal myself whenever I need it. Making canned Vegtables and canned meat is a good way to keep healthy

But what do you bring while raiding a POI? Obviously running away to heal every minute while you're deep inside an abandoned mine isn't exactly a very good option. As for canned goods, they're a great source of long lasting food but terrible for healing. You'd be better off just spamming bandages at that point.

Once you've cored a base and replaced your own core, there's nothing stopping you from slapping down a medstation to heal at while you clear the rest of it, as long as you haven't blown away the generators.

Other than that, you either park a CV outside and run back to heal frequently, or you pop medkits like jelly beans...

Well, OP. I mean, that's the point of medkits. To be used often. They heal a lot and so do Varon Roots.

But medkits don't heal much. That's the problem. Small medkits only heal 50 and large kits heal for 100. But the Alien Plasma T6 for large kits is a huge pain to harvest because, as far as I know, the only decent way to get it is in the hills of Omicron so it takes a lot of running around to make a decent number of them. Meanwhile, Textured Plant Protein can be grown in bulk and heals for just as much as a large kit.

Medkit are near uselessness. The best way to heal ? Just die. You'll come back with half of your health, which is like 2-3medkit (the entire regeneration). Just be sure to take down a teleporter between each death.
Use your drone to grab your backpack, safer that way.

Brafus root and varon. Brafus is a complete heal.
