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

Using Forage

1. Forage must be done outside and can only be initiated while not moving.

2. 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. 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 forages in an area, No matter if you forage 1, 2, 3 items at once. 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.

3. Forage succes increases as the player gains more forage skill. Successes also include discards (items not added to inventory because the inventory is full). Your failure rate doubles (no matter what planet you're on) when you're around cities or structures (player or NPC).
