Fighting Infection

[🅶ila]

My "main" character got banged up a bit fighting some bloody plague zombies while assaulting a plague heart. It shows a white bar about half-full progressing towards a red skull icon. It seemed to only fill when I got hit.

I don't really feel like the game explained it very well.. Do I have to make a cure for him now or is that "fighting infection" status drop off over time? (I put him in the infirmary for now) Do you only have to use a cure on them once the meter reaches full?

you can use the cure at any point, but usually yeah, we usually just use the cure once the first bar reaches the red icon so the countdown towards death starts.

(Careful though on higher difficulties the timer is lower on the one before the max dificulty you have 10 minutes to use the cure or your character dies... Still dont know how much time you would have on max dificultty... probably just 5 min?)

So for a partial infection (white bar) Just place the character on the infirmay and it will heal overtime without needed to use a cure on it.

Okay, cool, thanks!! That's sort of what I'd gathered from searching around, but I wanted to confirm before I let somebody die off on me!

So there are 2 infection types

Partial
Full

Partial is White bar - this heals over time when not played with infirmary bed.
This can be instantly cured in infirmary with plague samples
You can also speed up recovery with things like Wash Basin and Sterilizing Machine facility mod.


Full Infection the bar turns red and you will see a count down timer.
When count down timer hits 0 - your guy dies.

So you got a few Pre-steps.

1. Return to base and immedieatly admit them into infirmary.
This will stop count down timer.

OR

2. Go to nearby outpost switch character.
Go to Base screen admit them immediately to infirmary

Only Way to save - Plague Cure
So once in infirmary you can take your time and look through stash get plague cure and give it to them.


Remember they have to be admitted into the infirmary to stop timer.

Man I wasted so many cure on white bar infection! Why the game does not tell me in a clearer way

You can immediately remove partial infection
by using treatment option in infirmary.

It only requires few plague samples.
I think it requires only one plague sample if you have someone with Pathology skill.
