Afflictions

Afflictions are mostly temporary conditions that affect the player's ability to survive. Afflictions can be acquired by the player through gameplay, and any current active afflictions can be viewed in the Status menu. There are two types of afflictions: positive, indicated by a green status icon, and negative, indicated by a red status icon.

Benefits

Benefits are temporary status effects which heal lost Condition or provide positive effects to the player. They are gained by consuming certain foods or drinks while hot, or by avoiding starvation.

Afflictions

Afflictions are temporary or permanent status effects which cause Condition loss or detrimental effects to the player. Most Afflictions are treatable, however treatments may require multiple doses (and time between dosage) to cure. Treatments are mostly Affliction-specific, and when taken must be selected to treat Affliction for their effect.

There are 16 different Afflictions, which can be sorted into two categories: injuries and diseases.

Injuries

Injuries are caused by falling, animal Struggles, exposure to the elements, and steep terrain. Most occur immediately, with the exception of Frostbite which occurs after it's precursor Affliction "Frostbite Risk" reaches 100%.

Diseases

Diseases are contracted through consuming unsafe foods or other effects. Most diseases require some form of treatment, though some will pass over time. Players are able to view the percentage of any existing risk of disease in the Status Menu. This risk may cause disease either by reaching 100% or through a dice roll based on the current risk percentage at a certain point in time.  Actions that increase risk of disease include drinking unsafe water, consuming raw, spoiled, or predator-based food, and spending too much time indoors. Players must be aware of these risks and how to manage them in order to avoid the diseases they may cause.
