Surviving on wolves and lack of antiseptics?

[suehprom]

"i have no rifle, and i must shoot"

run number 3rd or 4th, make a few run in mystery lake but now im trying coastal highway, and its more easy than mystery lake, but i didnt go there so i dont have the rifle, got 2 bullets but not the rifle. i've found a lot of food, like a loooot, but some day that food will spoil or im gonna eat it all, so, i am now surviving on hunting wolves with my bear hands.

the thing is, im currently low on antiseptics, bandage are not to worry cause i got a lot of clothes, but every fight give me wound and chances of infected wound, i never let the infection to spread, where was at 37% i took antiseptics, but...

is there a way to avoid using anticeptics? what happen if you dont use it on a wound? you die for an infected wound? or there is another way to remove the infection? is fighting wolves a way to survive? should i go back to mystery lake and grab the rifle?

im currently on my 15 day, and looted everything, a few cabins here and there, but all coastal highway is looted... plenty of sewing kits and not a single hatchet, not a problem though.

Fighting wolves is one way to survive. Allow the wolves to kill a deer, then you kill the wolf. Plenty of subsistence. You can also "influence" where the deer run and sometimes can lead a deer to a wolf.

If you don't use antiseptics or antibiotics then you can fall ill and your condition will worsen. I do not know the specific mechanics but it is not good.

If you don't use anticeptics, you risk getting an infection. If you get an infection, you can use antibiotics to cure that. I"m not sure what will happen if you don't use antibiotics, but it's probably not good.

Currently there is more than enough antiseptic (v156)

so, i will die of lacks of antiseptics and there is nothing i can do about it? well its sandbox mode, so i think its ok

Yes, there is something you can do about: just play the game and look into more houses. There is currently enough antiseptic for 5 playthroughs, I am surprised you don't have any.
