Ice Pack

Ice Pack: Reusable cold compress; recharges 1% condition per second, faster with a higher item decay rate.

Use, trade-offs and mechanics

An ice pack combines muscle repair, pain reduction and cooling. Apply it to the affected limb through the health panel. Its chilled effect lasts 150 seconds and does not stack when repeated on that same limb. Reusing it immediately spends condition without creating a second independent muscle-healing effect.

Condition is its practical restriction. The item must be above fifty percent to activate, and an application consumes fifty percentage points. It then recovers condition automatically. The documented baseline is one percent per second, with recovery changing alongside the item-decay multiplier. A zero item-decay setting stops recovery. A reusable pack can therefore behave differently across custom runs even though its name remains unchanged.

Crafting requires INT 14 and a mix of natural resources and electronics: two frigiant fruit, liquid supplying Water quality, two canvas, string and a sufficiently intact circuit board. The full recipe is listed in the crafting table. The same item can also appear through the wiki's listed loot sources.

Cooling means that the current body temperature belongs in the decision. An object selected to repair muscle also changes heat balance; pain relief alone does not indicate that every injury has healed. An ice pack does not use the fracture-timer reduction of a bone welding tool, so those two medical tools solve different parts of a damaged limb.
