Does botany knowledge affect medkit efficiency?

Botany knowledge increases healing speed by 33%, so does that mean that charges are consumed 33% faster (EG, 2 heal medkit remains a 2 heal medkit) or do charges go at the same rate, just more heal per charge (EG, 2 heal medkit -> 2.6 heal medkit)?

And if it doesn't, should it?

    Yes it does, and I believe it says so in the perk description.

    To put it simply, Botany Knowledge and a yellow medkit = 2 heals, each at 133% speed.

    Healing speed and Healing Item efficiency is increased by 11/22/33 %

    Meaning it heals 33% faster and medkits use 33% less charges per second.

    Nope, there is no way it does.

    Or another way of looking at it is it gives 33% more charges.

    Eg. A brown medkit without add ons will be extended from 16 charges to 21.28 charges.

    Healing speed does not effect the charges.

    Increasing efficiency does effect the charges. So botony increases your healing speed by 33% and increases you charges by the same amount.

    In practical terms you only need 12 charges per heal. As oppose to 16. Add selfcare to the mix and you only need 8 charges per heal. And you heal a healthstate in 12 seconds as oppose to the standert 16 seconds

    It does, I've been using botany, we'll make it, desperate measure, self care and a medkit with charge and speed add ons. It's one hell of a beefy healing build and a lot of fun to play with.
