Glflegolas Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I imagine that if you get 4 cases of chemical poisoning at the same time, you will die unless you have the Well Fed benefit, since each instance reduces your max health by 25%.

acada Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I wonder how the character looks like (from 3rd person view) when poisoned. We all know how poisoned wolfs looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PilgrimReaper Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (Posted this elsewhere, but this seems like a more relevant topic to do so) I really got caught off guard by something that seems strange to me, would love people's opinion on it.... so, I mostly try to save canisters and run through the gas sections of the mine, and will admittedly use most of the count down to suffocation before putting the mask on if I can't reach a safe place. When I do, the affliction is healed, and I wear it until I reach what (I think?) I know as a safe spot. Then I remove the mask, and bam! the countdown starts again, right where it was, at 5 sec. Before I understand what's happening and can put the mask on, I fade into the long dark. If the affliction is "healed", shouldn't the countdown start "full"..? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if this is inaccurate. No worries. Just wanted to clarify the difference. While they are different, the use of the gas mask you are experiencing may still apply to both.

Sir Major M.oos.E Sr. Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Chemical poisoning is no big deal. Astrid has been twenty something days into the zone and got it a couple of times ☠️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got kinda lost in glimmer fog on my second day in the Zone, and almost wandered into that big poisoned pool near the main mine area because I couldn't see where I was going, and unfortunately managed to pick the worst route around the back of it, where the slopes keep you close to the pool and almost always in the fume cloud. Great introduction to the new region! So yeah, ended up poisoned on my second day, clothing a bit wrecked, and it wasn't until I actually found some shelter that I realised both elements of the well-fed bonus (weight & health boost) had been wiped out. Kinda makes sense, given the nature of poisoning, but it was still a bit of a kick in the teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xanna Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I reported this as a bug, as it definitely desn't seem to be working as intended - the other affliction stats count full, red afflictions, not risks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have inadvertently walked back into gas or into another gas section the only way to tell is look at your canisters before taking it off if they are still draining you are still in gas and the countdown only resets in fresh air once you take mask off if you had it in on from previous gas without resetting that might have confused you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranium Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 RE: suffocation: I really don't like how the suffocation meter does not reset when you put on the mask. You're breathing at that point, not suffocating. Died that way myself. Luckily I always back up my save files, in case of weird stuff like this. Learning illogical game rules in that fashion is kind of dumb in a perma-death game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best way to tell exactly where the poisoned air starts is to already have your mask on. The canister bar will be static at first, then starts depleting as soon as you step into the gas, and once you've walked through the depletion only stops when you're in fresh air again. If the canisters didn't run out so damn quickly, you could just walk around the whole region with your mask on and watch the canister bar to mark out the exact borders of every patch of poison gas, if you were so inclined. The canisters only run down when the mask is actively filtering gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the moment you are no longer in toxic gas the canisters stop being consumed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_ Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Speaking about the main topic, I haven't got the poisoned affliction just yet. How do the stims help in this situation? Do they reduce the time it takes to heal back, or do they just add 15% max condition back? If so, how much time do they cut off from the recovery process?

One stim will completely remove one application of the affliction. In my case, it took a total of 2.
