After an unfortunate accident involving extremely poor health and dozens of bullets in my character I start again.

I escape the prison and find a functioning motorcycle, and its in fairly good condition all in yellow or better.

After a quick refilling of the gas and traveling on the road I find a farm and decide to live here since the prison isn't exactly hospitable due to many brutes and fungaloids.

I was using debug to learn how good the various foods I ate were for my health, and I learned that rhubarb is amazing. I was down to -1 health and 8 health modifier but, by the power of rhubarb I have been raised to health 4 and health modifier 25! rhubarb is glorious.

Not sure about fullscreen, but I get black screens too when my computer monitor goes on sorta standby. I forget the technical term. Best I figured out is to save the game and reload it.

What's the difference between health and health modifier?

modifier is longterm health.  your characters health tries to match that number.  it goes up/down as you eat things or take drugs or roll in toxic sludge or get sick or any number of things.

While you could have a  current health of 100, if your modifier is -50 its all going to drain.  health modifer tries to equalize at zero

health modifier is increased by eating 'healthy' and not getting too tired and just being sensible.
    tea and rhubarb are good for health


shorter answer:  modifier is hidden longterm health, while health is your current health and use for most health checks.   when the game tries to give you the flu it checks health.  when you regen hp while sleeping it checks health

Health modified is one of those things that I wish was displayed somewhere. I don't like hidden mechanics.

Well, its not exactly something the player should have constant awareness of. Maybe it could be checked if the player has enough first aid skill/the medical path mutations/some special CBM.

Anyway, the health modifier is why you should carry vitamins with you and eat them a few times a in-game day. Vitamins are the easiest ways to increase your health modifier, except maybe for a royal jelly, which is why you should hoard royal jellies.

Some sort of health monitoring device would be nice. Maybe it could be a mod you can attach to computers or something. Or just have it as a wristband/smartwatch. Not that I think smartwatches are actually good at it, but it's something currently going on right now in our world, and they've got nuclear powered cars out in magical New England.

It's constantly bitching about how unfit you are, even if you're actually pretty healthy.

It could also be a toy dog that constantly hounds you.

When you wake up, the message you get is based on health modifier.

Or if it isnt its based on health.  And if youve spent the last 8 hours sleeping your current health will be close to the modifer's level.


You'll know if you are really unhealthy if you stop generating so much HP while sleeping.  But the redtext itself might only mean -10 or -5 health

I wouldn't mind it being hidden if it were documented in-game somehow. The only way I ever even learned there was such a thing as health/nutrition was from this thread, the game doesn't tell you squat.
