=== Damage ===

There are a few different damage types in SS13. If you take enough damage, you'll fall unconscious into critical condition, better known as '''Crit'''. If left untreated in this state, you'll slowly suffocate until you die.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brute|Brute]]''' damage is received from physical attacks - punches, kicks, toolboxes, hatchets - if someone is hitting you over the head with it, it does Brute damage.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|Burn]]''' damage is received from fire or exposure to the vacuum of space.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|Toxin]]''' damage is received from breathing in poison gases, attacks from enemies like giant spiders, ingesting poison, drinking too much booze, or generally having any harmful chemical in your blood.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|Oxygen]]''' damage is received from being unable to breathe, or while in critical condition. It goes down over time by itself if you're not in crit.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brain_damage|Brain]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or [[Guide_to_chemistry#Methamphetamine|other things]]. Can randomly cause [[Guide_to_Traumas|brain traumas]]. Those suffering from brain damage usually need [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|chemicals]] to cure their condition.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Cellular_damage|Cellular]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or from being fed on by a [[Slime|slime]]. Can be cured with [[Guide_to_medicine#Cryogenics_Tube|cryo]] treatment. 

Brute and Burn damage are applied to specific limbs. If you've been smacked in the head with a toolbox a few times, you'll have to aim at your head (with numpad keys) when you use a bruise pack. Most [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]] can be ingested to heal damage anywhere on your body. If you take enough damage to one limb, you can be '''dismembered'''. You will need [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgery]] to replace lost limbs.
