Medical Treatment



Medical Treatment refers to the method to healing injuries from animals or other players. Treatment must be applied swiftly to avoid a players's death. Therefore, ensuring medical supplies are stocked up in-advance is wise. Pads become dirty if dropped on the ground and must be re-sterilized, so must be stored in a clay bowl. Used bloody pads can not be re-sterilized and will disappear after two minutes.

Injuries act as held objects; Acquiring an injury causes you to drop whatever you are holding (including babies), and prevents you from picking up items. However you can still open doors. It is possible to get more than one injury, each of which will halve the amount of time until you die. Injuries (except for Yellow Fever) will slow a player to 75% walking speed.

Needle and Thread
Combine Bone Needle and Thread or Ball of Thread. A needle and ball of thread can be used identically to Needle and Thread, and can be used multiple times before running out, so is a better option to keep around the medic station.

Sterile Wool Pad
Use Ball of Thread or Dirty Wool Pad on Simmering Water. Store in Clay Bowl to get Bowl of Sterile Pads. Pads become dirty if dropped on the ground and must be re-sterilized, so must be stored in a clay bowl. Used bloody pads can not be re-sterilized and will disappear after two minutes.

Sterilized Knife
Add knife to any Fire, Burning Adobe Oven or Firing Adobe Kiln. Will revert back into knife after 30 seconds, or if placed on the ground. A sterilized knife can be distinguished from a regular knife by its black tip.

Antivenom Knife
Use a Riding Horse on a Rattle Snake to get Snake-Bit Riding Horse. Use a knife on the dead horse to get Snake-Bit Horse with Blood Leak. Use a Clay Bowl to get Bowl of Antivenom Blood. Use a Sterilized Knife to get antivenom knife. Placing an antivenom knife on the ground will cause it to revert back to a knife. The dead horse will disappear after 10 minutes.

Red Cross Apron
Aprons can be useful in carrying an easily accessible Needle and Thread or a knife. The Red Cross Apron is a vanity version obtained by dyeing a White Apron with red dye.
