Death

When you reach 0 HP, you begin dying. There are several things that can happen, depending on the actions of other players.
You cannot use any items while you are dying. You may move slowly and call out for help, but cannot run or exert yourself. Before you can regain HP, you must be Stable.

Dying slowly on a mission

If you are outside of the base on a mission, there are more relaxed dying rules so you can focus on roleplaying the situation around you. You can choose to die at any point, or wait for others to recover you. If you return to base while in this state, you start your Death Count.

Death Count

If you are dying slowly when you return from a mission, or if you begin dying in base, you must choose when to die within a 5 minute period, unless you are stabilised.

Stable

Stabilising is the first step for treating a dying character. If you are on their Death Count, this resets and pauses.
You may now use items without penalty.

A character who is Stable will only begin dying again if they exert themselves, or receive further damage.

Revival

This game is meant to be one where it is unlikely for your character to randomly die or become unplayable due to bad luck on a mission. If many characters start dying on a mission, there’s a good chance that mission objective is going to fail, which will bring enough consequences on its own without you also losing your character.

We have several revival methods, each with their own downsides. There is a chance to gain a random side effect from using any machine.

Emergency Teleporter

This machine may be used by anyone who is conscious, from any location.

To activate, hit your chest with your palm, then put your fist in the air while you walk to the teleporter in base. When you arrive, take 1 HP of damage.

Resuscitator

This machine may be used on a character who has died within the last hour. Take the body to the Kenolab and await further instructions.

Cloner

This machine is currently under construction and will be available when players complete the build objectives.
