How to Make Herbal Medicine
Faced with many dangers, RimWorld’s colonists often rely on herbal medicine to treat their wounds when more advanced treatments are unavailable.
RimWorld is a survival game that challenges players to turn a handful of stranded survivors into a thriving colony. Ludeon Studio’s successful colony management simulation poses a multitude of threats to both the mental and physical health of the colonists. Whether it’s pirate raids or bug hives, injuries are inevitable RimWorld Having colonists and medicines on hand can make the difference between life and death.
There are three degrees of medicine in RimWorld: high tier Glitterworld medicine, standard medicine and low tier herbal medicine. While the first two can be very difficult to acquire in a remote colony, players will find it much easier to build up a good supply of herbal medicine. Although herbal medicine is the least effective type of medicine, it is still far superior to treatment without any medicine. Players should make sure they always have some on hand.
How to craft herbal medicine in RimWorld
The easiest way to make herbal medicine RimWorld is to look for it from the map. That Wild medicinal root Plant that can be harvested for a single herbal medicine per plant can be found in Temperate forests, temperate swamps, boreal forests, frigid moors and tundra biomes. Harvesting a mature Wild Healing Root will not destroy the plant, and players can send their colonists in search of more herbal medicine once it has regrown. Players can also preserve their herbal medicine in it RimWorld just like food.
For colonies in biomes where Wild Healroot doesn’t grow, or for those who want a more even supply, this is also possible grow a domesticated medicinal root plant in a growing zone. Seeding Healroot requires a rimworld Colonist with a growth ability of 8+, making it one of the more difficult plants to grow. Healroot is slow to mature, taking a full 13 days in neutral soil to reach full growth. Each mature plant provides the same amount of herbal medicine as wild medicinal root.
How to use herbal medicine in RimWorld
While players can trade RimWorld to get better forms of medicine this can get very expensive. As such, herbal medicine will most likely remain a staple until a colony becomes sufficiently wealthy to purchase or manufacture its own medicine. Herbal medicines are also automatically used to treat animals and prisoners, even when more advanced medicines are available.
It’s actually a very good idea to limit colonists to only getting herbal medicine unless players are well equipped with higher tier medicines. This will keep them from wasting expensive medication on minor bruises or cuts sustained in everyday situations. Then when the player’s colonists get into serious trouble and suffer serious injuries rimworld‘s Best Weapons, the player can remove the herbal medicine restriction until these injuries are treated.
