Alchemy Potions and Food Adjustments

Alchemy, Potions and Food Adjustments:

Description:

The goal of this mod is to improve the consistency and balance of alchemy and potions in general as well as correcting some cheat-like features present in vanilla; such as healing while in the menu or creating completely overpriced potions. This mod tries to make alchemy balanced, coherent and consistent while staying as close to the vanilla spirit as possible.

Features:

• []Game settings regarding Alchemy are customizable with an MCM.

  Ingredient potency multiplier, skill multiplier and experience multiplier are customizable.

  Because XP gained is linked to the gold value of the potion created and because you can no longer craft overpriced potions (see below), I recommend putting the XP multiplier at a value above 1 (2 by default). This XP bonus is only applied when the crafting menu is opened.

  Ingredient planter growth is also customizable, this mod default values making ingredients grow/regrowth much slower (10-7 days instead of 1-3).

  • []Restore Health/Stamina/Magicka potions have their effects spread over 5 seconds.

    You will not be able to insta-heal while in the menu.

    These effects do not stack.

    If you drink a restore Health/Stamina/Magicka potion while the previous one is still active, the most powerful potion will take priority. (More information on stacking in the "Notes" section.)

    If you drink multiple restorative potions with the same effect while in the menu, only the most powerful one will work.

    This include crafted and non-crafted potions.

    Ultimate restorative potions now heal 50 points of Health/Stamina/Magicka per second for 5 seconds (250 points total).

    A version of the mod with this feature only and nothing else is included in the installer.

    [*]Poisons types, potency and values are readjusted.

    Poisons of damage Health/Stamina/Magicka now have their effect spread over 5 seconds (instead of being instantaneous).

    Lingering poisons now do 2 (Health) or 3 (Magicka/Stamina) points of damage per second; their potency depends on how long they last.

    Lingering poisons total damage is now similar to the standard damage Health/Stamina/Magicka poisons; only a little bit stronger (about 1. 25x) to compensate for their effect taking longer to apply. (In vanilla, lingering poisons were wildly inconsistent: crafted ones were completely overpowered while existing ones were underpowered.
