Vector3 Studio’s waterworld-themed survival game, Sunkenland, finally landed on Steam as an early access title on August 26, 2023. However, like what happens with most early access games, Sunkenland right now is marred with technical issues such as the stove not working issue and many others. Well, recently, players have reported that the in-game bandages also don’t work, which has become a primary source of frustration. So, in this guide, we have shared all the details regarding the same.
As per player reports, the bandages in the game aren’t recovering health, which is believed to be their primary function by players. Whenever they use bandages, nothing happens. This isn’t an ideal situation, as sooner or later you will find yourself seeing the “Game Over” screen if things start bugging out like this. So, is there a fix for this issue? Let’s find out!
Sunkenland Bandages Not Working Issue: Is there any fix yet
Many players have this notion that using bandages will heal them a bit. However, in Sunkenland, this isn’t the case. While other survival games do make it so that bandages increase or recover health, that isn’t the case here in the game. Bandages in this game only stop the bleeding effect. So, if you are using bandages and wondering why your HP is not recovering, now you know why. Now, you might be thinking, what’s the way to heal in Sunkenland? Well, the process is a bit different.
How to heal in Sunkenland?
If you want to heal in the game, then you have several options. Antibiotics are the best when it comes to pure healing. So, look for them in the sunken world by scavenging as much as possible. Red Algae can also help in that regard, but it’s hard to find due to its rarity. Players can also cook food and eat it. While this one doesn’t give a big push to health recovery, it’s still a good choice when you don’t have anything. Lastly, sleep whenever possible. It will also help you heal your in-game character.
Now, if the bandages aren’t even stopping the bleeding effect in the game, here are some workarounds you can try:
Restart the game –
Now, if you are aware of what the bandages are capable of and they aren’t working as intended, the first thing you should do is restart the game. While there’s no guarantee that this will completely fix the issue, we still recommend that you give this one a try.
Repair game –
A good reason behind most issues can be blamed on a missing or corrupted game file. The easiest way to deal with that is to repair the game. Just open Steam, and from there, head to Library. Now, find Sunkenland and then right-click on it to select Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.
