Bleeding

Bleeding

Bleeding is a negative status effect caused by the claw attacks of creatures such as the Machairodus. The effect itself is characterized by the hominid in question visibly showing signs of bleeding i.e. red fur, slick spots, spurting blood from wounds.

Mechanics

Bleeding will continually reduce vitality until stopped and will not decrease with time while sleeping or foraging. Not treating bleeding will result in the death of your hominid.

Bleeding also affects the Life Expectancy of a hominid over time and has permanent effects even if you don't die.

Important: Your clan members may suffer from bleeding without you noticing, so keep an eye out for visual signs of discomfort! The Clan HUD will also indicate bleeding clan members with a dull red bar that pulses outwards from the central circle to the clan member that is hurt.

Learning specific neurons reduces the negative effects of bleeding and increase the positive effects of medicines with respect to bleeding.

Stage 1 - Bleeding

Stage 1 is encountered after being attacked by an animal that has claws and slashing attacks. Actions will take more effort. You can still travel but your hominid will lose life expectancy over time.

Stage 2 - Severe Bleeding

Stage 2 only occurs after being attacked twice by an animal that has claws and slashing attacks. Actions will take more effort. You can still travel but Stage 2 drastically lowers the life expectancy of a hominid over time.

Remedies

Medicines able to stop the bleeding condition:

• Aloe Sap
  • Aloe Sap Paste
• Honey
• Horsetail Leaves
  • Horsetail Paste
• Kapok Fiber
• Mud

Bleeding Protection

Medicines can also be used before being afflicted with negative status effects to give positive status effects or "protections". These protections allow you to endure situations that would normally cause you harm.

Be aware that protections run on a timer and will eventually run out. The protections will also reduce by the amount of damage they stop. Your hominid won't be harmed but the protections will go down instead. You will need to add more protections over time to ensure you aren't going to be harmed by afflictions.

Medicines that confer bleeding protection:

• Aloe Sap
  • Aloe Sap Paste
• Honey
• Horsetail Leaves
  • Horsetail Paste
• Kapok Fiber
• Mud

Neurons

The following neurons impact bleeding.

Image	Neuron	Neuronal Branch	Genetic Mutation?	Description
	Analeptic Ability (ME 02)	Metabolism	No	The recovery time from a poisoning or an injury is now faster.
	Bleeding Resistance (SB 04)	Preventive Medication	No	One item with clotting properties is now enough to get full protection against haemorrhages.
	Bleeding Resistance (SB 05)	Preventive Medication	No	The protection against hemorrhages lasts longer.
	External Clotting Efficiency (SB 02)	Preventive Medication	No	The protection against haemorrhages lasts longer.
	External Clotting Efficiency (SB 03)	Preventive Medication	No	The duration of a full protection against haemorrhages is maximized.
	Internal Clotting Efficiency (CB 02)	Therapeutic Medication	No	The body can withstand bleeding for a longer period of time.
	Internal Clotting Efficiency (CB 03)	Therapeutic Medication	No	The ability for the body to withstand bleeding is maximized.
	Laceration Prevention (SB 01)	Preventive Medication	No	The protection against hemorrhages lasts longer.
	Laceration Tolerance (CB 01)	Therapeutic Medication	No	The body can withstand bleeding for a longer period of time.
	Prophylactic Ability (ME 01)	Metabolism	No	The shield duration against all poisonings and injuries is longer.
	Vitamin K Efficiency (BB SB 01)	Preventive Medication	Yes	Getting a full protection against hemorrhages requires fewer items with clotting properties.
	Vitamin K Efficiency (BB SB 02)	Preventive Medication	Yes	Getting a full protection against hemorrhages requires fewer items with clotting properties.
	External Clotting Efficiency (SB 03)	Preventive Medication	No	The duration of a full protection against haemorrhages is maximized.
