Rework suggestion for Botany Knowledge
I'm not a fan of the last change, so I just came up with a rework idea:
You transform plants found around The Campfire into tinctures that slow down bleeding.
Increases healing speed by 10/15/20%.
While suffering the Hemorrage status effect, press the secondary action button while healing yourself or other survivors to stop the loss of healing progress for 30/40/45 seconds. This effect has a cooldown of 120 seconds.
I thought of this changes because Hemorrage and Mangled are very common nowadays, and there is nothing currently to counter the former, so I thought it would be nice have a perk for that. Botany Knowledge seemed the perfect candidate.

I like the idea of a counter to Hemorrage, but I also think people should start running Streetwise with Botany if the recent change has been an issue.
BHVR has been pushing for specilization in survivors--requiring all 4 perks to be dedicated to a build for real value.
If people want rediculous healing, they now need to dedicate a build to it, instead of just sacrificing one perk.

There shouldn't be a perk that just straight up counters a status effect. I'm fine with like resurgence and that Jane perk not allowing to to dip below their respective amounts though

That would be far, far weaker than the current Botany, though.
Current Botany is a genuinely very good perk, making it far more situational by having it primarily be a counter to one status effect isn't that much of an improvement imo.

actually sounds like an idea for a good new perk

So theyd need 2 perks (streetwise and botany) to counter one perk (sloppy) or worse theyd need 2 perks to counter 1 addon ( many killer addons apply hemorrhage)? Thats not balanced at all.

Like others before me have suggested, just take away the stupid efficiency penalty and make it not activate when using a medkit. ‘Hee hee, I’m so smart with plants that I make medkits do worse.’ Like that really makes sense for a “perk”.

Sloppy only adds 4 seconds to a standard heal and losing progress is due to bad positioning when healing. What wasn't fair was survivors making the strongest items in the game even stronger by only investing in 1 perk and if they wanted to make it just completely busted run 2 with 0 downside that benefited you even when your medkit ran out.
Examples of before nerf at the extreme:
Botany + Self care + Green Medkit (Dressing + Syringe)
3 heals 8.7s long + the insta the same speed + 24s self care heals when it runs out
Botany + Self care + Ranger (Dressing + Syringe)
4 heals 12s long + the insta the same speed + 24s self care heals when it runs out
