Glowcap

Glowcap is a consumable item. When eaten it immediately restores 50 HP and provides basic sustenance: +20 Calories and +30 Hydration. The item functions as a simple healing and recovery food source during exploration and combat.

Glowcap spawns only in caves and is found in low quantities. It is not crafted directly but serves as a common ingredient in several Food Station recipes that produce resistance plasmids. At the Food Station, three Glowcap combined with specific secondary ingredients yield two units of the corresponding Res Plasm with no crafting time. The known recipes are:

• 3 Glowcap + 2 Sulheart → 2 Corrosion Res Plasm (Food Station, 0 seconds)
• 3 Glowcap + 2 Serpent Root → 2 Drain Res Plasm (Food Station, 0 seconds)
• 3 Glowcap + 2 Prism Herb → 2 Infection Res Plasm (Food Station, 0 seconds)
• 3 Glowcap + 2 Grubbler → 2 Termo Res Plasm (Food Station, 0 seconds)

Practical notes:

• Glowcap is a lightweight emergency heal that also addresses hunger and thirst modestly; use when you need quick, small restorations without crafting more complex consumables.
• Because spawn quantities are low in caves, conserve Glowcap for when immediate HP recovery is required or when you need ingredients for Res Plasm production.
• Use three Glowcap in combination with the listed secondary ingredients at a Food Station to convert surplus Glowcap into resistance plasmids, which may be more valuable than individual consumables depending on your needs.
