    Game is not auto crafting health syringes

    I can carry 5 health syringes. I have 3 currently. I just picked 10 green leaves. I still have 3 health syringes.

    How many health slots do you have at the moment? If you only have 3 available at this time, it will auto craft when you need them or a slot becomes available... AFAIR

    It's not how it works. It's auto crafting when you SPEND a syringe, one at a time.

    You remember wrong. There is no connection to the number of health slots.

    Well explain this, the HUD says I have no health syringes (I assume that's what the green plus sign is above the minimap). I have four health slots but lost one filled bar and hit my heal key and now I have four filled slots and I still have 10 green leaves.

    I don't get it.

    IIRC, here's how it works; you need to fill the syringe kit at this point by either wacking more green plants (to actually generate the auto crafting) or finding in-game med kits. The 10 current green leafs will only become syringes when your syringe kit is full, and then start using syringes to recover health bars.

    Do you understand that med kit that you can buy or find is the same thing as healing syringe?
    Now, in your example, did you SPEND a syringe/med kit? No, you had none to start with, you performed manual heal. Buy or find at least one, and you will see how it works.
    You use a syringe -> A new one is immediately auto crafted from 2 green leaves in your bag.

    Mike, you can't fill the syringe kit by gathering green plants - the auto craft is triggered ONLY when you USE a syringe and it will never ADD syringes to their initial quantity. You can only buy or find syringes to fill your syringe kit.
    Also, the syringe kit doesn't have to be full, it has to be at least one syringe and 2 green leaves in the bag.

    Nope. I had three filled bars of health out of four, I healed which used a syringe because the green plus sign changed to 2 and I had 10 green leaves and didn't get any more syringes crafted. I only seem to be able to heal one health slot....unless a pick up or buy a kit of course. So basically no amount of picking green leaves will craft syringes.

    Okay, that's why there was a IIRC ...

    I don't think I've ever let my syringe bag drop to zero except at the very start of the game; having syringes is a priority in my play style ...

    Hopefully this isn't getting too confusing, other than it already is ...

    "[only] able to heal one health slot" -- that's a function of skills that need to be selected so it can be increased.

    Again, let me understand (forget about number of health slots and how many of them one syringe can restore, it has no relevance here).
    You had 3 pluses and 10 green plants in your bag. You used one syringe and number of pluses changed to 2. When it happened, no syringes were auto crafted and no green plants were spent?
