Bandages?

[caddy]

You used to be able to craft a bandage from a banana leaf. Now you cannot do that. What happened? How do we craft a bandage now?

[jonesy]

look for plant with lil yellow flowers round its base same as you used in tutorial.

[caddy]

@Jonesy. Is that the only way to make a bandage?

[Grant]

Yep. The developers remove Banana leaf from being use as bandage, because it is quite common thus making the game a bit too easy. However, now there problem is that it makes the game extremely hard, as the healing plants are clustered around only certain parts of the map. If you spawn in one of the three location that lack that plant within 1km, you are doom to die unless you somehow make it to the developer valley or the fish dock area which usually spawn the bandage plant every 2-3 days.

And now its too hard to find a bandage, i've only seen 1 yellow plant in hours, great work devs lol.

[caddy]

I just died in the game on 2nd day because could not craft a bandage. Developers need to do something - i am losing interest in the game.

You go through a cave to get there. There are 3 bandage plants there. Snare trap nearby on a trail nearly straight west from cave entrance

I found out that the herbs spawns at random at the same spot. If you see a tobacco plant or plaintain lily (broad leaves, purple flower) growing around you, just chop them down and walk away from the area for a bit.

When you come back new herbs will randomly grow at the same spot. If nothing regrow there, that means you haven't walked away far enough for it to respawn. If it's not what you're looking for, just chop it down anyway so that new random one will regrow in it's place.

That way there's no need to keep going back to the molineria spot if you need bandages. Just look for herbs in your vicinity and stockpile them at your base.

They probably should patch that make it more randomized locations

I like that they respawn at exactly same location. No need to keep looking for random spot every time you needed the herbs. And of course the fact that they respawn as random type of herbs is even better. Just harvest at the same spot over and over again until got enough in stockpile.

Because realism and difficulty. That's a major blow to game difficulty imo. At least for me it would be. Its almost like exploiting a glitch/bug

It's one of those things where without it casual players will complain about the game being too difficult and hardcore players will grumble about making it too easy.

I guess if you don't like it, don't abuse it. You can always go back to that one spot to get molineria if you like that kinda of tedium and let other people who don't like it enjoy the simplicity of camping the same spot. It will only affect your gaming/survival experience if you want it to. XD

i spent a full day looking for the molineria plant for bandages whilst constantly passing out since i have a wound that i can't heal they need to sort this out i know the point is to make the game hard but don't make it impossible.

[YupYup]

I got 12+ bandages on me, tbh i rarely need them.

I think it helps allot if people dont rush to bushes and get snake bite! or jump down clifss etc to get wounds.

The only time i really need them is when i remove worms from my body and patch the wound after

i started to play the game again because of the new update, which is awesome. but i allready stopped again and i ll leave this game until they ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do something with the bandages. you can get a scratch so easy from some random tribe member (i thought they deactivated them some patches ago, but obviously not) and then you are doomed because you can't find one of this rare plants

it really destroys the fun for me
