Health is the pool of vitality available to a prospector while attempting to survive on Icarus. It is represented by a horizontal bar on a prospector's display, and will increase or deplete based on circumstances and actions.
Description[]
Maintaining one's health is the primary concern for prospectors attempting to survive on Icarus. If the health meter drops to zero the prospector will become unconcious, and must be revived by another prospector or return to the surface in a new droppod.
Gameplay[]
There are numerous ways for a prospector to lose health, but only one way to replenish it: eating Food. Eating certain cooked or prepared foods will fill the health bar incrementally. Cooked Fish, Cooked Meat and Cooked Prime Meat all restore health points when eaten, and Flatbread does as well. In addition, some foods will substantially increase the size of the health bar by triggering a beneficial Status Effect.
