Medicine is used to improve outcomes when healing colonists.

Healing is done by colonists with doctoring enabled. The patient needs to have patient enabled and be in a bed. Medicine is not required, but will improve the chance of a good outcome drastically, allow for the healing of multiple small injuries in one go and double the amount of experience gained by the doctor.

Craftable Medicine

Herbal Medicine

This is a cheaper type of medicine. You are able to farm this medicine by growing the Xergium plant. It seems to fill the same functions as the normal medkit with the exception of it not being as effective and does not have anesthetic properties during medical operations, such as installing prostethics. It also cannot be used as the crafting material needed to make the hospital beds.

Imported Medicine

Medikits

Medikits can be bought from traders or taken from raiders. Combat traders carry large quantities of them at a discount price to encourage violence and raise demand for their other goods.
