    The idea is similar to how food works, you can grow red/green/yellow/blue herbs and craft them into stimpacks. As well as combining a red stimpack with bandages to get a medkit. Just something for the testube lovers of starbound, perhaps so we can start a medical clinic. Ideally it would be even better if we could make improved variants with longer lasting effects (specially since glow for 30 seconds is kinda trivial).

    I would love the idea of crafting things together to make Stimpacks, and crafting Stimpacks and Bandages for a Medkit.
    We have many resources in the game that can be used for this too! That means little to no new things need to be made for the player to create Stimpacks and Medkits.
    After all, we have glass and various plant materials for Stimpacks. If anything, the only thing added would be a new crafting station at most.

    That is a very good idea they should add that

    Mixing colored herbs? Resident Evil much? Though I agree there should be some kind of alchemy/botany deal going on in this game. Maybe not just for healing but also for buffs and something more creative than colored herbs.

    Well, it would make sense if things had a scientific and thus chemical, medical, and botanical information be used over the stuff with standard color based herbs and alchemy/magic. After all, different plants should do different things not based on color alone but scientifically. Yet, I would happily support anything added. I merely prefer one over another. Both are good.

    It is a very good mod... but four tiers is somewhat un-needed, especially with what the first tier of medical items are... plus... you have to admit the recipes are quite unrealistic... though... it is the only mod out there like that which makes it the best at the moment... hopefully Devs will be inspired sometime someday to add medical crafts too... I'm desperate enough for anything other than bandage crafting to be added to the game at this time...

    Ok, well just told me exactly how you would like and i will do it for you

    Well, the only changes would be to remove medical station MK1, and have each other station moved down 1 tier along with the ingredients...
    After that each Salve would need to use the proper ingredients that would work scientifically with them rather than solely by color.
    Neon Melon would work much better for the Yellow Salve and Stimpack simply because it is a plant/fruit that is known to glow in the dark from Bio-Luminescence.
    Sugarcane would work much better for the Blue Salve and Stimpack simply because it gives energy boost from the obvious, sugar.
    I'm not sure what would work well for making the Red Salve, but it should be either Wheat and Tomatoes or Wheat and Rice due to the health and nutritional properties.
    Lastly, the Green Salve should use Avesmingos, simply because of the unstable makeup of Avesmingos.

    Also, Large Bandage and Medicated Bandage should each require 1 fabric rather than more plant fibers and mushrooms (it just makes sense for a quality bandage).
    I'd also like Medkits to be craftable by combining Bandages, Red Stimpacks, 1 Leather, and 1 Fabric at the later Tier of medical crafting.

    Um... but the Salves could also be renamed to something more logical... Red Salve can be called Healing Salve, Blue Salve can be called Stamina Salve, Green Salve can be called Chemical Salve, and Yellow Salve can be called Luminescence Salve.

    what if instead of many crafting tables we just get 1 that unlock recipes per tier ?

    I like this idea.

    good idea... but the recipes in that mod are unrealistic and based upon magic and monsters... I prefer science and technology... 1 crafting station is a nice idea... but recipes shouldn't be based off of magic... this is Starbound after all...

    Great idea. On tier 8+ planets it seems like I have to stand and eat bandages for a solid minute before my health fills up to where i want it.

    Have you tried the tier 2 bandages, the ones that cost pixel and regular bandages, I can't place the name on that but i think its "Nano Bandages".

    It is at this point however recommended that you switch to foods. The Floran dishes I eat can heal at least 5 Bars.

    *Edit, I wrote Hearts instead of Bars.. What do I think this is? Minecraft?*
    *Edit 2*
    And I am on level 10 planets with final tier armor, so 500 HP, I believe.

    Yeah the foods are a "ok" fix for the time being, but I dislike the aspect of eating food to regain health, since while the game isn't 100 percent logical and is sci-fi, that doesn't make since at all eating food to regain health :).

    I could not agree more. Stimmies need a buff, as well as being only available on later tiers. So do the Med-packs, they're quite honestly completely useless.

    There are upgraded bandages? I had no idea. Also i knew that food could heal you, but I never bothered crafting any special food recipes. At tier 10 even red syringes (or whatever they're called) don't seem to help much, so I guess I should do my research on food and start a farm!

    How many bars of health do they give with Impervium gear?

    Oculemon Stew is bestest food!
    Oculemon stew so great, no passport required!
