What is the Information Panel and what does it display?

Let's talk about the bars first.

The four bars in the game are Energy, Rad Immunity, Morale, and Life. Each of these bars regenerates over time and serves a specific purpose in the game.

Energy, regenerating by +5 every 15 minutes,
Rad Immunity, by +1 every 5 minutes,
Morale, by +5 every 5 minutes, and
Life, by +10 every 15 minutes.

You can use consumables found in-game that will help regain these, besides waiting on timers.

Energy is used to improve the player's stats by utilizing the gym located in your stronghold, and to hunt zombies. Both activities provide experience points to the player.

Rad Immunity is used to scavenge in different locations to collect useful items and to gain experience points. Rad Immunity can be increased by increments of +5 using skill points.

Morale plays a role in both gym training and scavenging. Higher morale yields greater results when performing these activities, increasing overall efficiency. Morale can be increased by increments of +100 using skill points.

Life is an essential bar that determines the player's health. During combat, the player's life bar may deplete. Life points are regenerated over time, and you may also see the statistics in the Medical Bay. Using medical items can heal you instantly, though some medical items are more efficient than others.

Each Booster item will have a cooldown period which is added to the timer until you reach the maximum of twenty-four hours. After the 24-hour maximum cooldown is met, the player may not use additional boosters until the cooldown decreases some.
