Health

Health, also called HP, is the life value of your character in CIT. When your HP drops, your character becomes visibly injured, and you need to recover it through healing systems such as food healing, medics, sleeping, or automatic healing in owned bases and interiors.

Overview

HP is your main life stat.

When your HP gets low:

your character becomes injured
your movement is affected
you need to heal to recover back to full health

The main healing methods listed here are:

food-based healing
healing from a `Medic`
sleeping in your house
base auto-heal in an owned base or interior

Low HP effects

Low HP changes how your character looks and moves.

Injured animation

Below 60 HP:

your character gets an injured animation
your character moves slower

Below 30 HP:

the injured look becomes stronger

How to heal

Food-based healing

One of the main healing systems in CIT is the food system.

To heal yourself:

buy food
craft food with F9
use the food item

To eat food:

press I
right click the food item
use it

The food system heals you over time.

For every:

4 health you are missing

it uses:

2 food points

If `Steroids` are active:

the healing is doubled
the food use is also doubled

If your food reaches 0 or below:

fix it right away with food from restaurants
`24/7` stores
vending machines
crafted food
player peddlers using /sellfood

This page only covers food healing briefly.

Healing from a Medic

Another main way to recover HP is to get healed by a `Medic`.

`Paramedics`:

heal injured players
revive downed players

Healing with medics gives them:

heal points
money

Higher medic levels improve:

pay per heal
