Hey, I couldn't find anything on this via Google and forum search, so I hope this hasn't been asked too often.

After many runs with 1.13, I wanted to give the food system a spin. I was a bit short of canteens at the start and Bobby Ray's ships slowly, so Grizzly went quite thirsty. I was able to stave off death, but Grizzly's maximum health is now at a bare 15. I healed him with my doc, Grizzly can no longer be a patient. I gave him tons to drink and tons to eat and have been waiting for a few days. I've let him sleep, too, but there hasn't been a single point added to his max health. Can somebody help me out? What can I do to get Grizzly back to normal?

EDIT: I just saw in the INI Editor that supposedly you can fix him via surgery. The problem is that, as I mentioned, I can't designate Grizzly as a patient anymore. So what now? I punch him so I can perform surgery on him, hopefully not killing him?

EDIT 2: That... did work. I can have my doctor work on him now and he's regaining his max health, albeit incredibly slowly. Better than nothing though.

I kinda ruined my game. I had selected the food/drink option for a little extra realism and I've struggled to keep everyone feed, they go through food so fast I couldn't keep up, and ended up having most of the team lose points in strength and health. I read how to restore, but it didn't seem to work. After doctoring I didn't see the points come back. Shame, too far into game and don't feel like restarting right now. I'll know not to select that option. lol

Your game may not necessarily be ruined. You may be able to turn off food mid game. Or, if that fails, adjust the numerical values of the various line items that define food usage down to what you feel are managible levels. At least give it a try. You will still have to deal with your merc's weakened health ststus but you say that can be recovered even though it's an exploit. Give it a try if you really want to finish the game. You can always rationalize the change as some unforeseen problem with food supplies (contamination, sabotage) that your team figured out how to solve.

As far has I know, the penalties from hungry and thirsty cannot be restored with surgery while your merc still is hungry or thristy (icon in the picture). Maybe that's the problem? Give him food/water, wait some time while his organism overcomes malnutrition/dehydration (yes, it take some time) than do the surgery. Unfortunely you cant be patient with a full red health bar with no pink or yellow part, so you have to hurt your merc on purpose. Safest way if to jump over a glass window

Born, play JA2, die, reload, die again, reload again.

If you're playing with the food option, it's SUPER important to take Alma ASAP. The Northwest Alma sector has a food mess hall where your Mercs can eat. Drinking water I found the best solution is to buy from a bar or wait for Bobby Ray's PET and canteen bottles. There's also a nearby river east of Alma, but I haven't tried refilling canteens there.

For this reason I like to hire Igor because he starts with two MRE's, and he learns quickly. Use him and the IMPs to make your way down to Alma, while buying drinks from the bar brothers and Bobby Ray's.

All I know is, Alma is the key for survival.
