Ghosts
Ghost players are a new feature that introduces the ability to live after death, albeit in a demoted state . Whenever a player dies, a skeleton appears at their point of death. Their inventory is discarded and they become a ghost. Upon death, the WX-78 also loses its upgrades. Ghosts can haunt items and structures, possibly setting objects on fire or otherwise affecting them.
A ghost can be resurrected using a touchstone, flesh effigy, amulet of life, or the telltale heart . Players can also resurrect through the Florid Postern or Celestial portal if the server operator allows the “Revive in Florid Postern” customization. When the ghost resurrects, its inventory will be empty and its hunger and sanity are set to the same resurrection in the base game.
Being resurrected with the Telltale Heart or Florid Postern Portal also incurs a penalty maximum health for the player. Each resurrection adds 25% to the health meter. Health lost to this penalty can be restored by 25% using a booster shot.
Once there is a player ghost in the world, other players will suffer a continuous 3.3/min sanity drain .
