Fever
| Mode | Fortress colonies with Medical care. Older colonies can have different care and injury rules. |
|---|---|
| How it can happen | A storyteller event can cause Fever after at least 5 days have elapsed. It needs Medical care, physical storage, at least 4 living settlers at home and at least 2 eligible patients. Eligible patients have more than 40 health, fewer than 2 conditions and no existing Fever. |
| Full treatment supplies | 2 water and 1 meal |
| Food and water | Recovery needs hunger and thirst both below 60. It pauses when either reaches 60 or more. |
| Rest and recovery | A dry sheltered bed gives twice the recovery of resting without a bed. A dry exposed bed gives 1.25 times that recovery. Being up and about gives one quarter of the recovery from resting without a bed. Hardy recovers at five thirds of the ordinary rate, and Sickly at one third. |
| Base recovery example | A full starting recovery takes 15 hours in a dry sheltered bed or 30 hours resting without a bed, after the listed full treatment and while fed. These examples use no healing trait. The Care panel estimates the remaining time from the patient's current state. |
| Without treatment | Can recover while fed even without treatment, at one quarter of the fully treated rate. |
| Incapacity | A living settler at 25 health or less cannot work. Current colonies can carry them to a medical bed, another free bed or suitable shelter. |
| Work pace | While one or more conditions remain, health above 25 but below 50 gives 50% of the otherwise applicable work pace. At 50 health or more it gives 80%. At 25 or less the settler cannot work. More conditions do not multiply this penalty again. Other work modifiers still apply. |
| Giving care | Turn on Medical work and keep treatment supplies reachable. Supplies must be reserved and carried to the patient before treatment is finished. A bed by itself gives no supplies. |
