Ability Breakdown & Details

Medical forage allows the medic to obtain one unit of a randomly chosen flora food found on a planet. This works similar to the scout's forage skill. Medical Forage works while not moving and outdoors

Note: the respawn rate of medical forage is unknown. It is going to be assumed that the spawning mechanics used by the scout /forage ability also apply to the medical forage.

Using Forage

Foraging must be done outside and can only be initiated while not moving. Forage zones are pockets made 20 meters from the next one. In these pockets, a player may forage for goods and when successful, the pocket is depleted. If the player wishes to gain more foraged items they will have to move to the next pocket to forage. Players can begin forage through using the /forage command. After this is done, a 10 second period will elapse before they receive a notification of the event's success or failure. When you get the "There is nothing to forage in this area." message, you must move at least 20m off to get a new area. These pockets will regenerate over time.

Each "area" has 4 forage slots. You can only have 4 successful forage attempts in an area. Multiple items collected during a forage success do not count against the forage attempts as each forage attempt is counted seperately. Once you hit the 4th success that area is dry. The area will regenerate items at a rate of roughly 1 per 5min. So if you say get 4 successes in a row, you will not get a success for another 2mins or so.

System Messages Medical Forage Formulas Forage Success Rate No known forage formula exists so i will propose this one: Chance of success = ( ( (Forage Skill Modifier / 100) + 0.15 ) x 0.70) x 100 Chance of success in town municipal zone = ( ( (Forage Skill Modifier / 100) + 0.15 ) x 0.35) x 100 Forage Area Regeneration Rate 1 item regenerates every 5 minutes into the forage pool for that 20 meter radius Source References Source Source in Context Source 1 Source 1 Source 2 Source 2
