Some general newbie questions

[thequantum 52]

1. What is that 100/200 number that sits in the upper right corner?

2. Can I use saline or blood bags on myself, or do they have to be administered by other people?

3. Can players hear all of the noise I make when I'm breathing and walking just like I can?

4. I I have not been injured, does my blood level drop if I am hungry/thirsty?

5.  Will small blades of grass like below interrupt my shot or will the bullet move clear of them?  I.e., do I have to have a completely unobstructed line of sight?

 

 

Thanks a lot.

1 The zeroing of the weapon, ie at what distance it should hit dead on.

2 no, they require a buddy

4 i don't think so atm

4 yes (or health, either one is bad news for you)

5 not irl but this game has been having problems with shooting prone.

Thanks. Should I start crouching instead of shooting prone?

it should be made clear that you only start losing blood at all at hefty level of dehydration/starvation, and you only start losing a notable amount of blood in EXTREME situations like this.

Like if you decided to take your freshspawn on a tour of chernarus with no gear.

Yeah that was my question.  Do I need to constantly eat and drink? Or is it okay if I wait until I get the message? Basically, do I have less health 15 minutes after drinking water than I did immediately after I drank it?

health and blood are two different things.

 

You don't lose health or blood until you are really low.

 

You start with 1800/4000 water and 1000/20000energy (20k that is no typo).

You get thirsty at 2000 water.

You get hungry at 600 energy.

You're dying of thirst at 0 water -> -5 health/sec -1% blood/sec

You're starving at 100 energy -> -1health/sec -0,5% blood/sec

 

So right now you start thirsty and you have 1 hour until starvation is an issue. This should give you enough time to run across the map and find some food.

 

There are two different regenerations ingame.

low regen:  3000 water and 3500 energy 1blood/sec

high regen: 3500 water and 5000energy 3blood/sec and after full on blood 3health/sec.

 

If you don't know how much water and energy the food you consume gives you. It's hard to know where you're at.

With the next patch there will be colored status bars beside your char in the inventory so you can somewhat know how high your water and energy levels are and if you have to drink or eat to get healthy or to the next regeneration level.

 

Right now if i'm starting a new char I'll search for the next water pump and drink until I'm full. This gives me enough time to find some food. After that, I eat immediately as long as my stomach isn't full. There really is no point in hoarding a lot of food, because you can store 20000 energy in your body. If you eat enough you will get a "healthy" status bar. That means that you'll regenerate blood when hurt.  Just eat as much as you can and drink at least every hour (half an hour).
