Alien Blood is a basic chemical item dropped by many Creatures.

Description

Alien Blood can be used to treat Bloodloss extremely effectively. When applied, it will reduce the affliction strength by 120 over a period of 15 seconds, which translates into a maximum of 240 vitality for a character with 100 max vitality. Blood packs can be applied to any limb, and its effects will be spread to all limbs equally. It treats Bloodloss identically to Blood Packs.

It additionally causes Psychosis as a side-effect.

Bloodloss is caused by the Bleeding affliction and Swarm Feeders.

Usage

Like all Medical Items, Alien Blood can be applied through the Health GUI (Default Key ). See this page for more information on usage.

Alien Blood cannot be loaded into a Syringe Gun, though it can be swung by hand.

Alien Blood is also used to craft Blood Packs in the Medical Fabricator.

Notes

Alien Blood is an effective way to treat Bloodloss, and is a much cheaper alternative to Saline and Blood Packs. Alien Blood can be found easily by looting creatures; most creatures drop 1-2 upon death. It treats Bloodloss identically to Blood Packs, (that is to say, extremely effectively) however comes with the downside of applying a moderate amount of Psychosis. Since Psychosis does not deal any damage or other direct hinderance to a character, a player may find using Alien Blood as an economical way to treat severe injuries, if they are able to identify and ignore the audio and visual effects. If a crew has plenty of resources to spare, then using Saline, or even Blood Packs may be a slightly more expensive, but less much annoying alternative to Alien Blood.

Using Alien Blood to gain high amounts of Psychosis can be a cheap way of triggering the effects of Psycho Clown.

The talent Bloody Business reduces the Psychosis applied by 22.5, which is half of the Psychosis applied when passing the skill check. The reduced amount is the same if the skill check is failed, so the effect is not halved; it only reduces psychosis by 30%.
