Prioritize Staying Alive

Causes of Losing HP

Low Oxygen	- Failing to monitor your air supply or find a source of oxygen in time will result in death.
Creature Attacks	- Numerous creatures in the area can attack and damage you, causing HP loss.
Hazards	- Many underwater environments contain environmental hazards that inflict significant damage to your HP.

Use the First Basic First Aid Kit in the Lifepod

Your Lifepod provides one Basic First Aid Kit right at the start of the game. While this item is perfect for exploring risky areas, use it wisely since you only have one available until you progress further and secure a steady supply of healing items.

Gather and Use a Medical Gel Sac

The Medical Gel Sac is a fantastic early-to-mid-game healing resource that gives you an instant health recovery. Just keep in mind that farming this plant can be hazardous, so make sure to move away from any surrounding acid to gather it safely.

Tips!	Cut off the Acidic Raion Pouches first, then you can pick up the Medical Gel Sac easily without triggering the acid.

Craft a Basic First Aid Kit

To craft a Basic First Aid Kit, you need Fiber. One Fiber produces one Basic First Aid Kit, so make sure to farm plenty of it to stock up for your explorations.

Craft an Enhanced First Aid Kit

Upgrading to an Enhanced First Aid Kit is highly recommended because it restores significantly more health than the basic version. Fortunately, the resources required for this enhanced kit are easy to find and harvest early in your exploration.

What You Need to Craft First Aid Kits

Build Your Base First (Habitat)
