not getting blood back

[rootsteppa 0]

How long does it take to naturally get your blood back? 

 

I read this on http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Blood

Natural Regeneration

A player will naturally regenerate blood if he is kept well-energized and hydrated. As a result, his blood will increase as soon as the following requierements are met:

Slow Regeneration (1blood/second):

• Energy > 3500
• Water > 3000

 

So if  i'm right it would take 84 minutes to fully regenerate all the blood, but i already played a lot more with a grey screen and its becoming quite irritating!

Is it bugged?

It's weird. My character had been in the grey all day and wasn't getting any better. After feeding him like 10 cans of food and soda, a message saying that he was full popped up and under his condition it said "healing". After 20 minutes without taking anymore damage, my character was healed and his condition was "healthy".

Now he has a cold and things are slowly losing color after I used the homemade alcohol to clean a wound. Don't know what to do about that.

To regenerate health you need to get healthy/healing buff.

 

To do that you need to eat and drink to full.

 

However you will not get healthy/healing buff if you have infected wounds or are sick.

 

Take a note on that that there is no indicator that you are sick/have infected wounds untill you use something to clear your wounds/take antibiotics.

I'm guessing that last part is a bug.

I'm wondering if the messages that indicate the players belly is full are meant for both water and food? I tested it by eating several cans after the message came up from lots of drinking and the message didn't show up repeatedly as it does If the player doesn't stop drinking after the first message. So can the player belly be "separately" filled with food and water simultaneously?

 

The first time I gained the healing buff I had to rest a short while after eating and drinking.

Resting is what did it for me.  That and antibiotics.

 

It's very hard for me to get the notion of "need to rest" into my head in this game.  I parked under a pine tree for 20 minutes while I went to help my wife with something, and came back to a world full of color... Now I make sure I stop and rest regularly.

Make sure your character gets rest, eat lots of food with some water and you can regenerate blood. Also your blood can go up down and down all the time if you are sick.

 

Don't drink too much, or its impossible to gain enough energy (food) to regenerate blood when your stomach is full of water.
