Desperate Measures not stacking healspeed ?

VaporLion

I just played Botany Knowledge + Self-Care + Desperate Measures. 2 People were injured and 1 on hook so that would be 50% from Botany, 35% from Self-Care and 3x14%= 42% from Desperate Measures. So healspeed would be 127% but the progression-bar was red and i could notice that the healspeed didnt increase at all from Desperate Measures. ( it was 85% )

So im wondering, is this a bug that the healspeed does not stack further or am i missing something, like Desperate Measures not working on yourself ?

DM does work with self-healing, however you’re not calculating this properly.

Going to assume all perks are tier 3 for these calculations.

Your total heal bonuses here are 50% from botany and 42% from DM, for 92% total. This is added to your default healing speed, which is 1.

Self-care works by penalizing your healing by 65% (so you’re effectively healing at 35% speed). So you do all this using the following formula:

(1 + 0.5 + 0.42) (1 - 0.65)

(1.92) (0.35)

0.672 is your final healing speed, which is below 1, thus why the progress bar was red.

You need 16 charges for a full heal.

16 / 0.672 = 23.81 seconds to heal with 3 survivors injured/dying/hooked.

Fwiw, here’s how long it will take to selfcare using botany and DM for each possible number of injured/dying/hooked survivors:

1 survivor: 27.87

2 survivors: 25.68

3 survivors: 23.81

4 survivors: 22.19

Botany + SC alone (no DM): 30.48

Self-Care alone (no DM, no botany): 45.71
