</>What does Field Medic (Full Recovery) do?
Bleeding out after a wolf struggle, limping home on a sprained ankle, or shivering off a brutal night in the open? Field Medic snaps your condition straight back to full the instant you press it — no bandages, no antiseptic, no hours of bed rest. It's a button, not an always-on effect, so between presses your run stays completely honest: you still bleed, freeze and starve like normal. Reach for it only when one unlucky moment would otherwise end days of progress. Want zero risk instead of a safety net? That's Unkillable's job — Field Medic keeps the tension and just saves the run.

</>Common questions about Field Medic (Full Recovery)
What does Field Medic do in The Long Dark?
Field Medic instantly restores your survivor's condition to full in The Long Dark the moment you trigger it. Instead of the usual slow recovery, applying bandages, taking antiseptic, splinting a sprain, then resting for hours while your health creeps back, one press brings you all the way to full condition. It is built as an emergency button rather than an always-on effect, so you can play a normal survival run and only reach for it when a single mistake would otherwise be fatal. Field Medic is a premium ProjectMods mod for players who want a safety net without removing the game's tension entirely.
Is Field Medic a toggle or a button I press?
Field Medic is an action, not an on-off toggle, which is what makes it different from most The Long Dark comfort mods. It has a single Full Recovery control that you press whenever you need it, and your condition immediately jumps to full. Nothing happens until you choose to use it, so between presses your run behaves completely normally: you still take damage, still bleed, still feel the cold. That design lets you keep the survival experience intact and treat Field Medic as an emergency heal you deploy only in a crisis, rather than a constant invincibility effect like the one Unkillable provides.
Does Field Medic help with bleeding, sprains and hypothermia?
Field Medic is built to bring your overall condition back to full in The Long Dark, which is what saves you when blood loss, a bad sprain, or the early stages of hypothermia are dragging your health toward zero. Pressing Full Recovery tops your condition bar straight back up, undoing the damage those situations have done to your survivor. It is the fastest way to recover from a wolf mauling or a freezing night without first hunting down bandages, antiseptic and painkillers. Use it the instant a situation turns dangerous, and you are back on your feet and able to keep moving across Great Bear Island.
How often can I use Field Medic's Full Recovery?
There is no cooldown to plan around. Field Medic's Full Recovery is there whenever you press it in The Long Dark, so you can use it once in a week of in-game time or several times in a single bad day. Because it only fires when you choose, most players treat it as a last-resort button: they let a run play out honestly and only tap it when a mistake would otherwise end the save. That keeps every ordinary injury meaningful while guaranteeing one careless moment on Great Bear Island does not wipe out days of progress. You trigger it from the ProjectMods launcher's mod controls.
Why use Field Medic instead of full invincibility?
Field Medic suits players who still want The Long Dark to feel dangerous but hate losing a long run to one unlucky moment. Unlike Unkillable, which stops every death outright, Field Medic leaves you fully mortal, you bleed, freeze and starve as normal, and simply hands you an instant reset when things go wrong. That preserves the tension of exploring Great Bear Island while removing the harshest outcome: a permadeath save ended by a single wolf ambush. It is a premium ProjectMods mod for people who want a safety net on their own terms rather than a run with no stakes at all.
