Just like Fallout, you’ll find that Starfield has all sorts of afflictions your character can get. This includes contusions, infections, burns, frostbites, lacerations, brain injury and so on.
There are specific aids you can loot or buy in the game to cure those afflictions.
Here’s how you can cure afflictions in Starfield.
List of aids to cure afflictions
This list of aids that are used to cure afflictions are just based on early game and there may be more.
These are just basic versions of them. There will be other upgraded versions that cure the same affliction but add certain stats when you use it.
1. Bandages
One of them is bandages. This one allows you to cure contusions, lacerations and puncture wounds. If you get contusion from fall damage, you’ll need this.
2. Heat Paste and Gel
To treat burns and frostbite, you will need to use Heat Paste.
3. Injector and Snake Oil
Next up is Injector which treats brain injury, concussion, heatstroke, hernia, hypothermia, lung damage, poisoning and radiation poisoning.
4. Antibiotics
For treating infections, you can get Antibiotics.
5. Immobilizer
For injuries like dislocated limb, fractured limb, fractured skull, sprain and torn muscle, you’ll need an Immobilizer.
6. Penicilin X
You can also use Penicilin X to treat infections.
7. Junk Flush
As for addictions, you will need to use a Junk Flush.
How to buy aids to cure afflictions
Now that you’re aware of the different types of cures, you will need to obtain them. The easiest way is to buy them.
There are certain shops that may sell a few types. You can get most of them at the Reliant Medical building in Jemison. Talk to the doctor to buy them.
Apart from that, you can also go to CJ’s store in New Atlantis to purchase a few types of aids but it’s very limited.
The best place to get most of them is at a pharmacy or clinic. You can probably find them around the universe including in Mars.
You can also craft aids
There’s a pharmaceutical lab in Reliant Medical in New Atlantis, Jemison which allows you to make aids. Perhaps check your own ship as well as other pharma labs across the galaxy for the same machine.
For e.g. to make a Heat Paste, you will need Analgesic x 1 and Membrane x 1.
This list may not be exhaustive as it’s still early on in the game.
