Consumables

Whether seeking to acquire new abilities or simply replenish your health, there’s a wide variety of consumable items aboard Talos I. While some of these items can be consumed directly from the Favorites Wheel, all can be applied through the TranScribe’s inventory screen.

Neuromod

Field Notes

TranStar’s research aboard Talos I has led to the development of the Neuromod, a revolutionary device capable of instantly granting users new abilities. While still under preliminary testing, Neuromods have shown tremendous promise. However, there have been some recent setbacks involving the installation of Typhon abilities in human subjects—side effects include hallucinations and memory loss. Neuromods are extremely valuable and often secured in high-security areas, accessible by the station’s most senior staff. But some Neuromods have trickled out of these secure lab settings and can be found stashed in various locations around Talos I. Go out of your way to retrieve as many Neuromods as possible, as they allow you to install new abilities. Access the TranScribe’s Neuromod interface to select from a variety of abilities, nested within progression trees. Initially there are only three progression trees to choose from: Scientist, Engineer, and Security. But as you begin scanning Typhon organisms, the Energy, Morph, and Telepathy trees are revealed, allowing you to install newly discovered Typhon abilities.

Medkit

Field Notes

Exploring Talos I isn’t without peril. Along the way, you’re likely to sustain injuries, harmed by Typhon organisms and environmental hazards. Fortunately, Medkits are relatively common, providing an instant health boost. These items are commonly stored in Medical Bays but can also be retrieved from supply crates and fallen crew members. The Favorites Wheel is the quickest way to apply a Medkit. Open the interface and simply press the button/key associated with the Medkit. Alternatively, Medkits can also be consumed through the TranScribe’s inventory screen. Each consumed Medkit recovers 50 health, allowing you to partially recover. Be ready to apply Medkits as you sustain damage during combat. While accessing the Favorites Wheel or TranScribe’s inventory screen, the action is paused. This allows you to heal and return to the action without missing a beat. It’s a good idea to use a Medkit anytime your health drops below 50. If your health is above 50, heal by consuming food items—Medkits should be reserved for extreme health crises.

Suit Repair Kit

Field Notes

In addition to protecting you from the extreme conditions of space, your TranStar uniform absorbs damage dealt by enemies and other hazards—think of your suit as a layer of armor. Over time, as you sustain damage, your suit becomes compromised. The more damaged your suit becomes, the less damage it absorbs, causing you to lose more health during attacks. If your suit sustains heavy damage, you will be unable to operate in microgravity environments. So keep a close eye on your suit’s integrity meter in the bottom-left corner of the HUD. If your suit becomes damaged, use a Suit Repair Kit to fix it (Suit Repair Kits can only be applied from the TranScribe inventory). Each Suit Repair Kit increases your suit integrity by 25. Try to keep your suit integrity above 75 to decrease the amount of damage you take from enemies and other hazards.

Psi Hypo

Field Notes

After acquiring the Psychoscope and scanning Typhon organisms, you can use Neuromods to install newly discovered Typhon abilities. Activating Typhon abilities consumes Psi energy, represented by the purple bar in the lower-left corner of the HUD. You can replenish your Psi energy by using Psi Hypos—each Hypo restores 50 Psi. Like Medkits, Psi Hypos are easiest to consume from the Favorites Wheel, but they can also be applied through the TranScribe’s inventory screen. Psi Hypos are found throughout Talos I, with the heaviest concentrations appearing in medical bays. If you plan on using multiple Typhon abilities, keep a large supply of Psi Hypos in your inventory. However, if you have no intention of using Typhon abilities, you can simply ignore these items, saving inventory space for other gear.

Anti-Rad

Field Notes

Radiation exposure occurs when operating near radioactive waste, Cystoids, and Cystoid Nests. Prolonged exposure to radiation can lead to radiation sickness, resulting in slow health regeneration, diminished stamina, and uncontrolled stumbling. Radiation sickness can only be cured by consuming Anti-Rad pills. These pills can be found while exploring Talos I. Or acquire a fabrication license and create your own. It’s a good idea to keep at least two doses of Anti-Rad pills on-hand at all times.

Food

While there is a kitchen in Crew Quarters where fresh meals are cooked, many crew members aboard Talos I feed themselves with prepackaged food, snacks, and drinks. These food items can be consumed to replenish small amounts of health. Consider binging these items to replenish your health, particularly if Medkits are scarce. Food can be consumed from the TranScribes inventory screen. But you can also assign one food item to the Favorites Wheel, for easy access. However, be careful with alcoholic beverages—these drinks temporarily blur your vision and impair movement. The negative effects of alcohol can be nullified by installing the Hepatocytic Amp S-m186 chipset.
