</>What does Field Medic do?
Healing in Nightmare of Decay is a resource you are always slightly short of, and the game knows it. You save the good item, take the hit, and regret both decisions. Field Medic gives you a way out that costs nothing. Press Patch Me Up and you go straight back to a full bar, as often as you need. Raise the Maximum Health slider - anywhere from the standard 100 up to 1000 - and the same hits take a far smaller share of you. It does not make you invincible. You still take damage and you still have to play carefully; it just stops one mistake from ending a run you were an hour into. If you want damage off the table entirely, that is Deathless.
</>What is Field Medic?
Field Medic gives Nightmare of Decay two things the game deliberately withholds: healing that costs nothing and a health bar you can make bigger. Press Patch Me Up to go straight back to full as often as you need, and raise the Maximum Health slider so the same hits take a smaller share.

</>Common questions about Field Medic
What does Field Medic do in Nightmare of Decay?
Field Medic gives you healing that costs nothing in Nightmare of Decay, plus control over how big your health bar is. Press the Patch Me Up button and you go straight back to full, as many times as you like, without spending the First Aid Kits and Health Drinks you were hoarding for later. The Maximum Health slider sets the size of the bar itself, starting at the game's normal 100, so raising it means the same zombie hit takes a smaller share of your total. You still take damage and still have to play carefully - you just stop losing runs to one bad room.
What is the difference between Patch Me Up and Maximum Health?
They solve different problems. Field Medic's Patch Me Up is a button: press it and your current health jumps back to full immediately, which is what you want mid-fight or after a corridor went badly. The Maximum Health slider changes the ceiling instead, taking the bar from the game's usual 100 up to as high as 1000 so every hit costs proportionally less. Raising the maximum in Nightmare of Decay does not automatically fill the new space, so the order that works best is to nudge the slider first and then press Patch Me Up once to top the bigger bar all the way up.
Does Field Medic make me invincible?
No, and that is the point. Field Medic in Nightmare of Decay still lets everything hit you - zombies stagger you, traps hurt, and a boss can still take you from full to almost nothing if you stand in the wrong place. What it removes is the permanence: you can undo the damage on demand instead of watching an hour of progress vanish. If you would rather damage stopped landing at all, that is Deathless, which holds your health bar steady no matter what connects. The two work well side by side - run Field Medic when you still want the fight to matter, and switch to Deathless for the stretches you would rather not fight at all.
How high can I set Maximum Health, and does it stick?
The Maximum Health slider starts at the game's normal 100 and goes all the way up to 1000, so you can pick anything from a small buffer to a bar that shrugs off a full boss combo. Sliding it back down to 100 gives Nightmare of Decay its own numbers again. The value applies while the mod is switched on rather than being written into your progress, so turning Field Medic off puts you back on the standard bar with nothing left behind. If you raise the maximum and want the bar actually filled to it, press Patch Me Up once afterwards.
When should I press Patch Me Up during a run?
Before a boss, and after anything unexpected. Nightmare of Decay likes to open a fight while you are already hurt from the corridor that led to it, and Field Medic's Patch Me Up button resets that disadvantage in one press. It earns its place on Hard, where every mistake costs more, and in the extra modes - Horde Mode throws endless waves at you and Dungeon Escape drops you somewhere new every time, so neither lets you plan your healing in advance. There is no cooldown and no cost, so you can press it as often as a fight demands. Pair it with Full Pockets if you want ammo and stackable supplies topped back up as well.
