Khan84 3 Posted January 17, 2014 Hey Guys, Just a question, I have been in a few gun battles, have taken damage but not dead. How do or when does the grey screen go back to normal? I'm fully bandaged up, no hunger ot thrist. Someone said it takes an hour regardless of the need to drink or eat? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damagefilter 34 Posted January 17, 2014 Grey screens indicate you have lost lots of blood.So what you need to do is find saline or blood bags with blood of the correct blood type and get someone to inject them to you ...or what is perhaps more likely ... find all the food around town and eat it until your character says he's stuffed (stomach feels full).Be sure you're watered properly too. Then wait a bit and your blood will regenerate, colours will come back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herrjon 478 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) If you're planning on just waiting for the regen, you're going to have to eat and drink a lot more. You start getting messages when your water falls below 2000 and your energy (food) falls below 600. For light regeneration (1 blood/sec) you need 3000 water and 3500 energy. For full regeneration (3 blood/sec) you need 3500 water and 5000 energy. You will know when you've hit this point when it says either healthy or healing in your inventory screen. A full canteen of water gives you 1000 water, and a full can of beans give you 462 energy and 330 water. You'll have to eat 10 cans of beans past getting the hunger messages in order to obtain full regeneration. Rice is the best way to gain energy (3740 per bag), but you need to drink an entire canteen of water just to counteract the negative water a full bag of rice causes. Be aware as well, if you eat and drink too much in one sitting, you can stuff your stomach (a separate container) and eventually vomit if you go too far. You can have someone give you the proper blood or a saline bag and restore your blood, but your health will still be low. Your health is what really kills you, and only returns through regeneration. Your health will not regen however until your blood is full.
