Downed

Falling in a fight without dying, and waiting for rescue.

A character can be downed rather than killed. While downed you cannot use most functions; you wait either to be rescued by another player or to respawn.

On death the game shows what killed you and the damage it dealt, and leaves a bonepile with your name on it. A stimpack revives you where you fell; a medikit lets another player revive you. How long you can be revived, and how long the bonepile stays, can change (0.4.37). A recall scroll, used once, takes you straight to your registered respawn point without dying (0.4.34).
