In Project Zomboid, the color of your character’s infection status can reveal important information about their health. If you see the word “infected” displayed in orange, it typically means that your character is in the early stages of being infected by a disease or wound, such as a scratch or bite.
The orange color signals that the infection has not yet reached its critical stages, but it’s a warning sign. The infection may escalate to a more severe status (usually red) if untreated, potentially leading to death.
To prevent the infection from worsening:
- Clean the wound as soon as possible.
- Use antiseptic or bandages to treat it.
- Keep an eye on your character’s health to monitor the progression of the infection.
By acting quickly, you can prevent the infection from becoming life-threatening. Stay vigilant and always be prepared to handle injuries!
