How To Make Medkits In Rimworld

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of crafting medicine in Rimworld. Medicine is a crucial resource for keeping your colonists healthy, and understanding how to produce it efficiently will greatly improve your colony’s survival rate. Let’s break down each ingredient and the steps needed to create medkits.

Understanding Medicine Ingredients

To make medicine in Rimworld, you’ll need three key ingredients:

• Cloth — easily produced through cotton farming
• Herbal Medicine — harvested from heel root plants
• Nutramine — only available through trade or by finding it

It’s important to note that Nutramine cannot be crafted and must be obtained through trading with other factions or discovered while exploring. While you can find it fairly often, plan your trade routes accordingly to ensure a steady supply.

Setting Up Medicine Production in the Drug Lab

To begin crafting medicine, navigate to your drug lab and select the Bills menu. From there, choose “Add Bill” and then select “Make Medicine.”

Once you’ve added the bill, click on “Details” to see the exact ingredients required for the recipe. This will display the three components: cloth, Nutramine, and herbal medicine.

Producing Cloth

Cloth is the easiest ingredient to produce. Simply grow cotton in either hydroponics or designated growth zones on your map. Cotton can be harvested and automatically converted into cloth for your medicine production.

Harvesting Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine comes directly from harvesting heel root plants. Plant heel root in your growth zones and designate it for harvest. Your colonists (specifically agronomists or those with farming skills) will automatically harvest the heel root, which converts directly into herbal medicine.

When you set heel root to be harvested, your agronomist will come collect it. You’ll notice the herbal medicine appears as it’s being processed and dragged away for storage.

Trading for Nutramine

Since Nutramine cannot be produced in your colony, you’ll need to acquire it through trading. Keep an eye out for trade opportunities with other factions, and maintain good relations to ensure access to this critical ingredient.

Completing Your Medicine Bill

Once you have all three ingredients stockpiled in your drug lab, your medicine production bill will automatically begin crafting. Keep in mind that medicine production requires a colonist with the intellectual skill, so ensure you have someone capable of handling the task assigned to your drug lab.

Summary

Making medicine in Rimworld is straightforward once you understand the ingredient sources. Focus on growing cotton for cloth and heel root for herbal medicine in your farms, secure a trade route for Nutramine, and set up your drug lab bill for “Make Medicine.” With these steps in place, you’ll have a steady supply of medicine to keep your colonists healthy and ready for whatever challenges Rimworld throws at you.
