Developer notes
TO INTERACT WITH MOST ITEMS: YOU NOW NEED TO OPEN GEAR MENU (G) THEN RIGHT CLICK ON THE ITEM! SUCH AS BANDAGING AND EATING AND SHIT
This is a pretty major update. I don't really know what affect the new sickness and temperature system will have on player behavior especially with antibiotics being so scarce.
It is the genesis of an idea, so please remember this might cause havoc. You need to be careful.
To light a fire, you need matches and wood in your inventory. Place more wood in the inventory of a fireplace to keep the fire going.
A fire that does not have wood in it will go out when you try to light it.
You can tell you have an infection, because your character will start coughing. The infection causes you to loose blood down to a minimum of 6000. This leaves you with reduced blood until you take antibiotics.
