Bioplastic Blood Vessels Level Scaling (v1.63 HF2 Legacy Mod)

The purpose of this mod is to provide level scaling and balance the Bioplastic Blood Vessels health regen bonuses to increase the sense

of progression/challenge as you level up (rather than installing a +50% of maximum health per second regen buff at level 15 and never looking back).

BACKGROUND:

The two “Health Regen” values reported on the character screen are actually representative of the percentage of your total health regenerated every second, not the straight health points regenerated per second. So, if you have a health regeneration rate of 25 on the character screen, it would take you 4 seconds to regenerate your health fully.

The way the vanilla Bioplastic Blood Vessel cyberware works is by applying its bonus as an additive percentage to your current out-of-combat health regeneration rate. It does NOT increase your health regenerationrate by a flat value per second, as the description states. This means that if you have a stamina regeneration rate of 15%, the legendary version actually increases your out-of-combat health regeneration rate to 65% of your total health

regenerated per second. That means it would take less than two seconds to regenerate all of your health. This may seem a little broken, but as this is only applied out of combat, it actually isn’t all that bad.

The vanilla Bioplastic Blood Vessel cyberware also increases the maximum out-of-combat health regen limit by 20% (base is 60%, so you’d end up at 80% without perks). This is not described anywhere.

BIOPLASTIC BLOOD VESSELS TWEAKS

The first thing this modification does is to add an additional minor benefit to the Bioplastic Blood Vessels. It adds a small increase to the maximum in-combat health regeneration limit. The default values are 1% to 5% depending on the quality of the cyberware.

It also allows changing the maximum out-of-combat health regen limit for each quality level. The default values are 5% to 40% depending

on the quality level.

All of these values may be adjusted in the “userConfig.lua” file to suit your taste (including setting them to zero to remove the benefit).

BIOPLASTIC BLOOD VESSELS LEVEL SCALING

The second thing this modification does is to provide linear level scaling of the out-of-combat heath regeneration rate. The health regen rate per player level is configurable in the “userConfig.lua” file. The default values in this
