Health (HP)

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.

Food based healing

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