Field Medic should allow Walter to apply healing salve on other players

[Picklesaurus]

What I actually think is that applying healing items like Healing Salve and Healing Poultice on others should be something any character should be able to do, its just that Field Medic brought that missing feature to my attention. We can already heal other players by feeding them foods like Pierogies or Jellybeans, it should work the same way as feeding others work;  right click with the healing salve on someone else to apply the healing to them and left click to put the item on their inventory.

I would say so... its a great way to make use of his +50% healing perk

[YouKnowWho142]

somehow i thought this was always how it worked. This should absolutely be a thing

[xhyom]

I always thought you could do that too, since you can even heal enemies.

[Chewabacca]

Scratch Field Medic, this should be in for all characters by default.

[Walrusst]

wait it works on random hounds but not on other players huh

[Blue Tangerine]

As a wormwood main,thank you.

[Totopon_XD]

You actually can do that!, the give command overrides the healing one(I think this is a bug), if you are mounting woby you can heal other players!!!.

Agreed, but I think they meant that everyone should, but Walter should apply his bonus healing effect

You are right! Maybe not being able to apply healing items to others while unmounted is a bug?

It most likely is. Also, the healing buff of Walter applies to other players as long as the Walter doing the healing has the Field Medic skill. Although I only tested this with another Walter who also had the skill, I'm not sure if it applies to normal players(i think this was mentioned in a patch note), but it probably does.

I don't think I would be against everyone else having a smaller bonus to apply healing items to allies, after all it's better for someone else to put a bandage or something like that on than to try to do it on yourself, it would make sense at least.

[aidankocherhans]

I heard you can use healing items on the weremoose, is this true?

[Steorra]

Yes it should.

Quite strange that Walter could go heal shadow monster but cannot go heal his teammates.

I imagine a world where he can put salves inside the slingshot and fire them at people

Of course, just don't accidentally miss and heal Fuelweaver instead.

[DegenerateFurry]

Ooh, you know what this'd do? It'd give Walter - who personally tried to track down the Werebeaver - a unique synergy with Woodie since he could heal him more effectively in his were-forms.

Yep fully gives the effect to other players even the sanity recovery from flutter strips tested it on Wilson

You can heal mobs using it. Not sure why it won’t work on players.

I wonder if they fixed it by removing the ability to heal other players on beefalo or fixing the ability to heal them on foot.
I assume its not the monkeys paw way but you never know until you know.

that's a good question to ask, we'll have to see after the next build but i want to assume they take the less controversial/more logical take: letting walter heal on foot, but not while riding.

oh wait my bad it's literally in this beta build i have no reading comprehension

Fixed bug where Heal action was not showing up when you had the Give action.
Fixed bug where Heal actions on other targets were available while mounted.

i guess someone with friends can test it out, i know it's not gonna be me

You can now heal others while on foot but they removed being able to heal others while mounted
