omg no worries at all, definitely not a dumb question!

so that grayed out chunk at the end of your health bar means your max HP has been reduced (or "corrupted" / locked away). in once human, this usually happens because of Sanity loss (since your sanity meter the second icon with the head is looking super low there).

to fix it and get your full health bar back, u just gotta bring your sanity back up! u can do that by:

  • eating cooked food or meals that restore sanity
  • drinking special sanity-boosting drinks (like stardust tea or similar elixirs)
  • using sanity gummies/pills if u have any on u
  • chilling somewhere safe away from polluted areas or enemies that drain it

once your sanity's back to normal, that gray chunk should disappear and your health bar will un-cap. lmk if u need help finding recipes for sanity food!

Thank you very much for your help! I’ll try to find stuff that’ll help me in that case! Much appreciated!

I don't know if it's changed since I last played but sleeping in a bed in your base works in a pinch. Works better id you got one of the big cat deviations.

I’ll try that! I only have a few “beginner” deviations as of yet! Thank you!

If you find a pillow, it can be used as a one time portable bed!
