Implementation details

This mod provides a immersive and highly configurable experience of the regeneration.

Humanity recovery is calculated as a linear interpolation in two parts.
-
[]If the Cyberware load is higher than the threshold, degens humanity proportional to the load over the threshold. Interpolates $l \in \rightarrow $ where $l$ is the load, $k$ is the threshold (settings), and $r$ is the recovery rate (settings)
