So, as it turns out, playtesting is completely necessary. When I mapped out all the tasks the player must complete, I discovered that the player doesn't have enough time to complete all the tasks. It takes 32 days to complete everything required. I just updated it, shaving off four extra days by allowing the player to make 2 immunizers at once.
It should be just barely possible now.
SPOILERS AHEAD:
The player will now spend 1 day exploring, 1 day making a sword, 2 days getting water, 6 days on reinforcements, 10 days/nights on syringes, 6 days on converters, 2 days on immunizers, and 2 days on sterilizers. 1 + 1 + 2 + 6 + 10 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 30 days = the timespan of the game.

EDIT: Somehow I figured out it was actually right the first time lol. I don't know how I keep doing this. Reverted.
