Healthdisease FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start with Health&Disease Mod?
Craft the Patchouli guide book first—it contains all the information you need about nutrients, diseases, and treatments. Then begin monitoring your diet by eating a variety of foods to maintain balanced carbs, fats, and proteins.
What happens if I don't eat a balanced diet?
Eating poorly causes malnutrition, which weakens your body and makes you more vulnerable to illnesses. Your stored nutrients (carbs, fats, proteins) will burn faster when you're starving, reducing your survival time.
How do I treat an infection after getting injured?
Treat injuries quickly before they become infected by using appropriate medicine—the Patchouli guide will tell you which medicine works for which infection. Remember that medicine takes time to work, so be patient and avoid further damage while healing.
Can I heal sicknesses just by sleeping?
Yes, minor illnesses can be naturally fought off by sleeping regularly in a bed. However, more serious diseases like Septicemia, Tetanus, and radiation sicknesses require specific medicines to cure.
What causes radiation sickness and how do I avoid it?
Radiation exposure causes sickness and gene mutations tracked by the physical alienation system. Avoid radioactive areas and use appropriate protective measures or radiation-curing medicine if you get exposed.
Why can't I work effectively in cold, rainy weather?
Cold and rainy conditions make you susceptible to upper respiratory tract infections, which reduce your work efficiency. Stay indoors or use warming medicine (if you have Cold Sweat mod installed) to mitigate this.
Does this mod work with food mods like Farmer's Delight?
Yes, Health&Disease Mod automatically recognizes custom foods from Farmer's Delight and Create, assigning them appropriate nutrients. It also integrates with Mekanism, Nuclear Science, and Alex's Caves for radiation mechanics.
Can I add custom nutrients to my own food items?
Yes, use the food_categories configuration option to type the registered name of any food item and assign custom nutrients to it. This lets you balance the mod with modpacks or personal preferences.
What is PTSD and how do I avoid it?
PTSD is a disease that develops if you die too many times, causing attack barriers that make combat harder. Avoid dying repeatedly, and if you get PTSD, use the appropriate medicine to recover.
What does Endersion do and why can't I use items properly?
Endersion is an illness caused by accidental factors that makes it difficult to use items effectively. Treat it with the appropriate medicine found in your Patchouli guide to restore normal item usage.
