The daily grind in the depths of space asks a lot of the Daedalus crew , who find their mental and physical Health diminishing with each passing day. Maintaining your Health Points and Morale is one of your many responsibilities in the fight against the Mush, which eventually proves difficult as you are beset by Dangers from all sides. Deaths of vital personnel and depleted resources will drive you to carefully guard every precious point you have, and force you to cooperate with others to restore them as efficiently as possible.

To the left of the play area is the display for your health. Over your picture is a collection of icons representing special statuses, and just below that are your and gauges. Special statuses can be good or bad, and hovering over the icons will give a description and sometimes advice.

Health Points

Health Points are a measurement of your physical well-being. When they drop to zero, your character will die and you will be removed from the game.

Health Points are capped at 14 . If you are playing in Gold Mode, you gain a bonus of +2 , making 16 your total maximum.

Satisfaction

Satisfaction is a hidden health statistic that relates to food and starvation. When you eat, you gain Satisfaction points depending on what you eat. Different foods give different amounts. You will gain the Full Stomach status when your Satisfaction is 3 or more, and you cannot eat any more after that. You lose 1 Satisfaction per cycle. Once your Satisfaction points reach 0, you will be fine for 24 more cycles. Once that time has elapsed, you will gain the Starving status, and will begin losing 1 per cycle.

Given a basic max starting Health of 14, and assuming that you have already hit 0 Satisfaction at some point in the recent past, eat 1 ration giving 4 Satisfaction, and you will last 5.25 days before death:

(Cycles of Satisfaction ticking down + Cycles before starvation starts + Cycles of losing 1 ) divided by Number of Cycles in a day
4 + 24 + 14 = 42 Cycles
42 / 8 = 5.25 Days

With Gold Mode: (4+24+16)/8 = 5.5 days
With low health: (4+24+1)/8 = 3.625 days

The only thing that will affect this process is damage you receive in that time from other characters or random room events, or Morale loss causing suicide. This can technically kill you earlier than that, but the overall chances of that are impossible to calculate at this point. Get your and to max and eat that Ration, and you should be fine.

TODO: Need to confirm the 24 cycles before starvation starts, find the point that the hunger notification starts, and find out what max satisfaction is.
