The Basics
Status effects, or modifiers as the scripts call them, usually have multiple stages that become increasingly more dire. An example of this is hunger, where you go from hungry to very hungry, and then to starving. You don't start losing health or blood until your starving, so the earlier stages serve as warnings.
Your character's health is described by several variables, which the status effects modify over time. When you spawn, you start with the following default values:
Health 5000
Blood 5000
Energy 1000
Water 1800
Stomach 1000
Hunger 0
Thirst 0
Bleeding
Bleeding only has a single stage, but the amount of blood you lose is still based on how badly you're bleeding - that gets tracked separately.
The Cure
Bandaging.
Hunger
Hunger goes through three stages: hungry, very hungry, and starving.
The Cure
Eating food, or for smaller gains, drinking soda.
Hungry
Cause Energy below 600
Symptoms "My stomach grumbles" "I'm feeling hungry" "I want to eat something" "I feel hungry"

Symptoms "I'm dying of starvation"
Effects -1 Health/sec
-0.5% Blood/sec
Status text starving
Thirst
Thirst goes through three stages of dehydration: light, medium, and heavy. It's worth noting that when you spawn, you're already in light dehydration, so one of your top priorities should be finding water. Unlike hunger, the status text in your inventory doesn't change when you reach the worst stage, so be sure to pay attention to the symptoms in your chat.
The Cure
Drinking water or soda.
Light Dehydration
Cause Water below 2000
Symptoms "I feel thirsty" "I'm thirsty" "I need a drink" "I feel like having a drink" "I want to drink something"

Healing
When you're fully fed and watered, you gain a healing status. There are three stages of healing: light regeneration, full regeneration, and healing. In the regeneration stages, you only regenerate blood, while in the healing stage, you regain health.
The Cure
Finish regenerating to full blood and health.
Light Regeneration
Cause Energy above 3500 and Water above 3000
Effects +1 Blood/sec
Full Regeneration
Cause Energy above 5000 and Water above 2500

Status text healing
Stuffed
Being stuffed is caused by eating or drinking more than your stomach can hold. There's three stages: stuffed, fully stuffed, and... vomiting.
The Cure
Wait for your stomach contents to be digested at a rate of 1 per second, or force yourself to vomit.
Stuffed
Cause Stomach above 2500
Symptoms "My stomach feels stuffed" "I feel really full" "My stomach feels completely full"
Fully Stuffed

Effects Vomiting:
-500 Stomach
-600 Energy (minimum of 100)
-1000 Water

Foot Injury
A foot injury is caused by running without shoes. While moving around, you cause damage to your feet based on the terrain you're moving on, and how fast you're moving. While wearing shoes, that damage is absorbed by lowering their condition.
The Cure
No known cure at this time, but also no known negative impact yet.
Sore
Symptoms "My feet hurt" "My feet are sore"
Injured
Symptoms "My feet are badly damaged" "My feet are bleeding" "My feet are hurting badly"
Unconscious
Unconsciousness only has one stage, which causes loss of control of your character. It can be caused either by shock, or lack of blood. Shock comes from damage to the head, and can be reduced by protective helmets. Epinephrine resets your shock level, which would revive you unless your blood is too low.
The Cure
If due to shock, epinephrine will revive you. If it's due to blood, a transfusion or saline bag. You can't easily tell if you passed out to due to shock or blood loss, but if your screen wasn't gray when you passed out, it's probably shock. If no one is around to help you, your shock level decreases at 30 per second, so it is still possible to revive on your own.
Unconscious
Cause Shock above Blood or
Blood below 500
Food poisoning
Food poisoning has up to six stages, depending on the severity of the poisoning. The most likely source of poisoning is from eating rotten fruit, which has a 50% chance of minor poisoning, and a 5% chance of moderate poisoning. Alcohol tinctures have a 75% and 20% chance for minor and moderate food poisoning as well.
The Cure
Eating charcoal tablets will immediately remove minor or moderate food poisoning.
