From Die2Nite Wiki
Revision as of 19:45, 8 May 2011 by SkyLime (talk) (minor grammar edits, added building hero improvements to ap costs, added picking up/dropping items to free actions, moved some parts to notes section at the end)
Action points are needed to carry out many important activities in Die2Nite.
You have a normal maximum of 6. Given that most food and drink replenish 6 AP, the usual practice is therefore to use 6 
, eat food, use 6 , drink a 
Water Ration, use 6 , use alcohol or drugs. Often, people only eat and drink. If there is no food, people might not eat, and if water levels are low, people may skip drinking for the day.
Restoring AP
- Eating food restores your to the maximum.
- Eating premium food restores your to the maximum, plus one. This is 7 for a healthy individual, or 6 if they are
Wounded. - Drinking a Water Ration restores your to the maximum.
- Drinking alcohol restores your to the maximum.
- Drinking
Bloody hot coffee restores 4 , but does not restore your over its maximum amount. For example, drinking Bloody hot coffee with 2 left restores you to 6 , but drinking it with 3 left still only restores you to 6. - Taking
Anabolic Steroids restores your to the maximum. - Taking
Twinoid 500mg restores your to the maximum, plus 2. This is 8 for a healthy individual. - Taking
Unlabelled Drug or 
Betapropine 5mg (expired) has a chance of either restoring your maximum , or your maximum plus 1. - Rolling

Notes
- You may only eat, drink, roll the Dice, play with Incomplete Deck of Cards, and use Siesta Time once per day. You may use alcohol every other day. Drugs and the EMS System (charged) can potentially be used again and again in a day {though this is damaging to you, making you
