Healing Yourself: Bandages vs Medkits

Bandages

Bandages are your cheap, repeatable healing item. Craft them with the mod's crafting recipes, carry a stack, and use one whenever you take chip damage. They restore health without touching your maximum, so they are safe to spam between fights.

Medkits

A Medkit is the heavier healing option. It costs more to craft than Bandages but restores more health in a single use, making it the item you reach for after a boss fight or a bad fall. Keep one Medkit reserved and use Bandages for everything smaller so you do not burn your Medkit on trivial damage.

Combining Healing with Health Upgrades

Healing items restore you to your current maximum. Heart Crystals raise that maximum permanently. The two work together: use Heart Crystals to grow your health bar, then use Bandages and Medkits to keep that larger bar full.

Loadout Suggestion

• 16+ Bandages for routine damage.
• 1–2 Medkits for emergencies.
• Heart Crystals used at base, not in the field.

Craft all three from the mod's recipes before heading out; none of them require special stations beyond a crafting table.
