— In-game tooltip.

A splint is an item used in first aid.

Usage

The splint is used to reduce the time taken to heal a fracture. To apply a splint, right-click the red fracture text in the health panel, also splints make fractures heal 10x faster.

Fracture

Main article: Health

Fractures are often caused by falling from great heights, which greatly reduces the player's movement speed. A fracture will heal on its own over time, however a splint can be used to reduce this greatly, by approximately 10-fold. Each first aid level of the applying player will increase the healing rate by an additional factor of 5. This can be improved further with the use of a comfrey poultice. Upon successfully healing a fracture, the player will receive first aid experience.

Crafting

Distribution

Splints cannot be found in the world and therefore can only be obtained through crafting.

Trivia

Since the weight of a splint is 1.0, it is technically heavier to hold a crafted one than carry its individual parts, however, this only holds true for using a Sturdy Stick or Tree Branch to craft it.
