📋 About This Mod
This is a complete overhaul of doctor/sleep/Endurance/Infirmary healing and rad removal, doctor radiation removal, radiation dispersal over time, and addiction removal.
This mod takes inspiration from Radiation Decay, No Cure, Rested Not Cured, OneBody, and Alternative Endurance Health Regen, though I've radically adjusted, refactored, replaced, or expanded most of the design notions of those mods.
The new features present in each of these mechanics can all be turned off, and vanilla functionality can be restored to any facet that has been modified.
(With the exception of Endurance health regen, which will always stay per-point if active and not revert to only applying at 5 END and above)
Health Regeneration
-
[]Endurance regeneration is a flat rate per point, and it's more substantial than vanilla's negligible amount.
[
]Regeneration during combat is off by default.[]The amount of regeneration provided is reduced as your collective limb health goes down.
[]Companions receive endurance healing as well.
[]Limb health will be regenerated instead of health once you reach full health. The amount regenerated will be equivalent to how much your health would have regenerated if you were below max health, divided by the number of non-full health/crippled limbs.
-
[]Rad decay is related to Agility by default, but it can be switched to Endurance.
The idea behind this is that Agility generally affects how fast your character does things, which arguably implies a faster metabolism or the like, which feels like a good fit for the rate at which your body can disperse radiation.[]Decay during combat is off by default.
-
[]Doctors no longer heal all of your health/limbs/radiation, or permanently clear all addictions. Instead, each transaction will restore a partial degree of health/limb health/radiation, and the addiction treatment will grant you a number of Fixer doses instead of clearing them completely.
[]Doctors will heal 20% of your health and each limb's health per transaction.
[]Doctors will heal anywhere from 150-250 rads per transaction.
[]By default, both radiation and health transactions will advance your hardcore needs a substantial degree.
[]By default, companions are healed in parity with the player. Robots are excluded. Animals receive healing, including Rex.
While this doesn't really make economic sense, I feel that this is good for balance.
[*]Instead of doctors (or Fixer in vanilla) being the only way to clear addictions, addictions will clear on their own after three days of experiencing withdrawal. Taking the chem you're addicted to
A complete overhaul of healing mechanics in Fallout 4, rebalancing doctor services, sleep, Endurance, Infirmary healing, rad removal, radiation dispersal, Infirmary Detox, and addiction removal. For players seeking deeper survival mechanics and more balanced healing systems.
