Status Effects

Description

Status effects are temporary conditions imposed on a prospector based on set circumstances or actions.

Prospectors face a number of challenges on Icarus, and have access to a wide variety of strategies with which to overcome those challenges. Status effects can be benign, but they can also help or hinder the prospector's efforts to survive on Icarus. They are conditional: if a prospector performs certain actions, or if specific environmental circumstances are occurring, status effects are the result.

Status Effects

Some status effects confer a positive boon to prospectors, giving them additional Health or increased Stamina regeneration. These are often the result of prospector actions, such as sleeping in a bed or bedroll to gain Well Rested, or eating certain Foods. The Well Rested status effect is affected by the Coziness stat.

Negative status effects are usually the result of something happening to the prospector: they are attacked by some Fauna, for example, and suffer a wound. In addition, a prospector caught in a Storm and without Shelter might be subjected to a negative status effect. Prospectors can often take action to remedy negative status effects, limiting their duration or negating the effect outright.

Positive Status Effects

Positive status effects can be obtained in a variety of ways. Positive status effects are lost when a player is downed or killed.
