Catalogue of Items That Presently Have No Use

[Arson]

I wanted to take a few moments and collect a list of items in the game that appear to have no current use. There doesn't seem to be a good wiki out there yet, so this is both for myself and for other players to make good use of. Also, to find out what we may think is useless but actually isn't.

I will update this list as people add to it, or uses are found:


No Confirmed Uses

• Activated Charcoal (reportedly to cure overdose of meds?)
  
• Adrenaline
  
• Antibiotics
  
• Antimalarial Pills
  
• Antiparasitic Pills
  
• Anti-psychotic pills
  
• Anti-radiation pills
  
• Aspirin
  
• Atropine
  
• Batteries
  
• Bee Pollen Pills
  
• Car Battery Wires
  
• Cigarettes
  
• Duct Tape
  
• Painkillers
  
• Penicillin
  
• Potassium Iodide Pills
  
• Quinine Sulfate
  
• Rubber Bands
  
• Sedative

Confirmed Uses

• Car Battery Wires - may be cut to produce wires
  
• Duct Tape - used in stabproof vests
  
• Rubber Bands - used in place of Rubber for items like metal sword
  
  
  
  Thanks, and if you want to contribute please provide the most specific evidence you have that something worked for you. We all know how a lot of these things should work, but may not yet.

Car battery wires. No cars yet! No torture function either.

Not correct as of now:

Antibiotics cure Sick / Illness.
Aspirin aids illness. (effects were staved during use until treatment )
Painkillers ( seemed to ) increase physical injury healing after / during treatment.

Not tested the others.. but not had a use I am aware of to do so.

I don't envy the wiki makers for this game.. Unless there is a way to drag the data out of the code or the dev's assist with information once they reach their targets.

Thanks for the reply. Can you give a little more information so we know this is more than just speculation?

Antibiotics - what kind of illness did you have? Was it shown under Sickness? Did taking the antibiotics show the illness as 'treated'?

Aspirin - What kind of illness? Did you see any indication on the monitor that you were treated?

Painkillers - Are you saying the rate of healing was increased? How did you experience this exactly, did you notice that it seemed to tick faster?

Please understand I'm just asking because I want a list of known uses/non-uses and I'm not just trying to poke holes in your experience. Thanks!

*** It just says SICK. Taking aspirin stopped any change in stats. Taking Antibiotics ( peni to be exact ) showed TREATED then it got better.

Aspirin - What kind of illness? Did you see any indication on the monitor that you were treated?

*** See above

Painkillers - Are you saying the rate of healing was increased? How did you experience this exactly, did you notice that it seemed to tick faster?

*** Having been injured a few, more than a few times but always being good on my energy and foods etc I ve noticed a trend in healing. Bandage say takes like 5 mins from 15% but toss in the painkiller etc it was like 2-3. I didnt actually time it, but it shows TREATED of course anyway. So that's not science, its just experience atm. So more info will be needed on that one.

I totally understand that. A thread like this is a GREAT idea.

Was just able to confirm in-game that cutting car battery cables will produce 2 wires. Thanks!

Anyone able to confirm a use for rubber bands?

Activated charcoal cures of overdose

Medication overdose? I just want to confirm this before I make any changes. You're saying if you overdose on, say, painkillers and get the (Overdose) sickness that charcoal works?
