Shift 25 Posted January 30, 2022 I think the pill symbol needs to flash before expiring so that you would have time to stop drinking bad water or eating with dirty hands or so that you are ready to pop another pill as soon as the previous one expires.

Wait, you drink bad water while you have the pill debuff? Because you have the pill debuff? That's called gaming the system. Do you know when a pill -in real life- expires 10-30 seconds before it's ineffective? Seems like a move against authenticity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shift 25 Posted January 31, 2022 I think it never actually happened to me, but i find myself in situations where i take vitamins or charcoal and drink bad water or eat with bloody hands, so i have entertained this possibility several times. And since the time period of pill's effect is fairly regular, i dont see why not make it flash, would save me clocking the time on the watch. If it was fairly irregular i would agree that flashing wouldnt make sense, and to be honest if the devs changed it to being fairly irregular i would welcome that. I dont like cheating game mechanics but i absolutely cant help it if the possibility exists, as my willpower is weak and i dont like having to force myself to not do something that i want to do, i would much rather prefer that there simply wouldnt be possibilities to cheat game mechanics. Its like with smoking tabacco, i prefer the ill effects of smoking tabacco over the discomfort of forcing myself to not act on an urge, but i would rather prefer not having the possibility to smoke.

General Zod 1118 Posted January 31, 2022 Food and water are processed long after you finish eating / drinking, so I don't think stopping right on time when pill wears off prevents you from getting sick, and if it does. Is it really that hard to let go of one button as the icon disappears ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically, you're lazy and have no willpower. But for some reason you get your clock out and time how long the pill lasts. And if one is able to 'cheat' we may as well make it easy to do.

Sounds reasonable that you could get infected while still processing food or water in your stomach after the pill wears off, but i think it doesnt work like that because i'd get sick if that was the case, i think.
