A low-tier SAN ailment that reduces work efficiency until it is treated.

The short answer

Give the Pal Low Grade Medical Supplies. Stocking the same item in a reachable Medicine Rack automates treatment for base Pals.

Use the right treatment

What cures Sick?

The status may be shown as Sick, while older references often call it Cold.

Step by step

Treat it cleanly

  1. 01

    Use Low Grade Medical Supplies

    This is the matching tier for Sick, Sprain, and Overfull. Condition medicine is tier-specific, so do not assume a more expensive supply cures every lower-tier ailment.

  2. 02

    Administer it manually or stock the rack

    For a quick manual cure, add the Pal to your party and use the medicine from your inventory. At a base, a reachable Medicine Rack stocked with the correct supply lets the affected Pal collect it automatically.

  3. 03

    Restore SAN before redeploying

    The medicine clears the condition, but it does not repair the routine that caused it. Let the Pal recover in the Palbox or a Hot Spring, then check food, beds, paths, and workload before putting it back on shift.

Root cause

Why it happens

Cause 1

Low SAN after long work shifts, harsh Monitoring Stand settings, or too little recovery time.

Cause 2

A blocked route to the Feed Box, bed, Hot Spring, or Medicine Rack.

Cause 3

Food that restores too little SAN for the base workload.

Base care

Stop it coming back

Keep one reachable bed per deployed Pal and leave wide, uncluttered routes around base facilities.

Stock the first Feed Box slot with a meal that restores SAN, not just satiety.

Build enough Hot Springs for the size of the workforce and ease aggressive work settings when SAN trends down.

Use a staffed Clinic or Ancient Clinic to slow SAN loss and suppress illness in demanding bases.

For busy 1.0 bases: a staffed Clinic or Ancient Clinic reduces SAN depletion and suppresses illness. Pair it with a stocked Medicine Rack so prevention and treatment both happen inside the normal work loop.
