Health

Health is the overall term for a crew member's well-being. Several factors affect the health of a crew member, such as diseases and afflictions, damage to Vitality, and excessive heat or coldness. Vitality is a crucial part of a member's health. Taking too much damage can impair your member's abilities to work around the colony. If Vitality reaches 0, the member in question will begin to bleed out and eventually die of their wounds.

Vitality Overview
When a crew member takes damage from a source, their Vitality will lower temporarily until their natural regeneration kicks in, unless the member in question has Deep Wounds, which is an affliction.

Recovery
Crew members can naturally recover Vitality over time if they do not take additional damage for 8 seconds. Recovery Beds boost Vitality recovery, and crew members with an efficient Medicine skill can help speed up the recovery process.
