This guide refers to the 0.04 version of Stranded Deep still available under Betas which has been written on an older Unity engine (much has changed since then).

You can check your health status by holding the F key pressed. Possibly you will have to left-click once to switch your watch from the time/date view to the status view. This will show your health and the amount of hunger and thirst being satisfied. When you are injured or ill, your health will not regain before the two other bars are at 80% or higher. If they are lower, health will decrease depending on impairment. If your health is very low, you should eat, drink and rest in order to recover. Since version 0.11 there is a fourth bar which reminds you to sleep regularly. You will need a bed or a shelter for this.



To treat the different injuries and diseases, you will use medical items which you will most frequently find in cabinets on ship wrecks. Most of them cannot be crafted by yourself, so look out for those cabinets attentively (they are astoundingly easy to overlook, especially if the wreck is underwater). All medical items can be used only once.



Wounds are caused by shark attacks. They have to be treated with a bandage, which you can either find, or craft by yourself using duct tape and a cloth. The bleeding and the constant drop of health will not stop until treated, and you will have to eat and drink a lot in order to compensate the blood loss. If you enter the ocean with an open wound, sharks will be attracted.





You can break your arm by falling off a tree or by messing with the wrong shark. Use morphine to treat it. At the moment, a broken arm does not impair your physical activities, but it will take some health over time and does not mend by itself. Besides that, it does not look nice.





Poisoning can only be cured with antibiotics, it will not vanish. It is caused by accidentally touching a sea urchent or a lionfish. Eating angelfish, rockfish or clown triggerfish (no matter if cooked or raw) will have the same effect. Poisoning will lead to a loss of health that has to be compensated by eating and drinking.





Diving in deep, cold water can cause a cough, which is harmless and will vanish after some days. Ingesting luiquid and resting is recommended. Alternatively, you can use vitamins as a cure.





If you have been short before drowning, your health will stay zero for a few days. Eating and drinking are essential for survival, but will not make it go up. All you can do is rest and wait.
