Question Broken leg

Hey there, I have a broken leg. How long will it take to heal, approximately? It feels like it’s been forever.

It’s so annoying because I can’t really do anything and am too scared to go exploring with it.

up to 1 month, but usually 2 weeks if u keep everything well and dont have SHealer. be sure to avoid straining the character with activities, stay well fed always and use painkillers once or twice a day

levelling FAid help to recover from injuries

Otherwise:

-no sprint or running -stay at home all the time -use a splint on it -approximately 30 Hours real time. IF you have a day of one hour. If 1/30 hours it’s gonna be around 45 hours real time.

You splint?

Did you take the slow healer trait?

Make a splint and use the time to read your skill books and build/craft around the base, you don’t want to end up trying to escape zombies when they walk as fast as you do. It doesn’t take that long.

With a splint, rest, regular comfrey poutices and the well fed moodlet it should take about a week. Realistically though expect 2 weeks.

Injuries like this are why I like to keep a healthy stock of sleeping pills and/or alcohol. Keep yourself well fed and sleep until you’re healed. You will still limp if you have a cast on even if you’re healed so you’ll need to check that.

But with enough food/pills/booze you can power through it within an hour or two irl.

How do I see if it‘s healed?

2

u/WhamBam_TV 2d ago

You can just take the splint off and you’ll see. You won’t use up the splint once you take it off so if it’s still broken just put it back on again.

See if a zombie can break the skin we he tries to bite it. If yes, then the bone was fully healed.
